Welcome to the Innovative Schools

Innovative Schools works with schools around the world to break down barriers to learning and achieve meaningful change in their communities.

As part of Partners in Learning's global commitment to helping K-12 students achieve their full potential, we deliver models any school, any system, can use to ignite students' natural desire to learn--and help prepare them for success in our rapidly changing, connected world.

Learning from each other 

Through the Innovative Schools program, we build communities of schools with a common interest in transforming education.  We integrate key findings from 12 pathfinder Innovative Schools to help schools everywhere develop a process for assessing, improving, and evaluating their learning environments.

And we deliver essential tools--technology expertise, professional development, maturity models, as well as online and regional training--to support education leaders in creating holistic change.  More »
