Breakthrough Charter Schools

Welcome to Breakthrough Public Charter Schools, a nationally recognized network of free, high performing public charter schools in Cleveland, Ohio. We currently serve more than 1,000 K-8 students across four schools, and will be opening two additional schools in Fall 2011/2012. Our mission is to provide sustainable, high-quality schools in Cleveland's under-served neighborhoods, ensuring all students have access to an outstanding college preparatory education. What makes Breakthrough unique? We offer three unique school models: Citizens, E Prep, and Intergenerational. Each of our schools is part of one of these exciting, proven, effective school models.

While educationally unique, all our schools are built on our shared Breakthrough principles:

1. Always put children's needs first, in every decision we make
2. Hold everyone to the highest expectations, from our kindergartners to our board chair
3. Share a never give up attitude, no matter what it takes
4. Believe in our students, and know that every child can learn and excel

Combining shared principles with its unique educational models, Breakthrough Charter Schools is able to deliver a portfolio of unique, effective educational options to the community, especially its students.

This nationally innovative approach is working: In 2010, our students, 90% African American and 80% low-income, significantly outperformed Ohio public school students (urban and suburban) on average on every single test at every single grade level.
