Bsf supports and funds the growth of high-quality, high-demand schools of all types. Every child and family is unique, so we support diverse school models that vary in curriculum, gradespan, geography, and governance, among many other factors.
Boston schools fund inc. Provides significant financial and administrative support that will aim to increase the number of seats in boston's high-performing district, charter, and catholic schools by almost one-third over the next five years, putting boston on track to offer a high-performing school to the majority of its children by 2025. Our purpose is driven by the belief that a child's access to an excellent education and the potential for a bright and productive future should not be determined by that child's street address, background, the careers of their parents or guardians, or the luck of the draw. Boston schools fund inc.'s broad aspiration is fueled by a narrow vision, built around three funding focuses: schools, talent, and policy. Taken together, these strategies will provide more of boston's children with a transformational school experience.
