New Visions for Public Schools

Since our founding in 1989, we at New Visions for Public Schools have been dedicated to a singular, powerful mission: to ensure that every public school student in New York City, regardless of their background, has access to a high-quality education that prepares them for college, careers, and life. We believe in the transformative power of public schools and have spent over three decades working in close partnership with the New York City Department of Education and other key leaders to drive meaningful, system-level change. Our work is rooted in the conviction that the most effective way to improve schools is to empower the educators within them. We provide teachers, principals, and administrators with the innovative tools, comprehensive data, and robust support they need to make informed decisions and foster student success. Our approach is not about quick fixes; it's about building sustainable systems and practices that lead to lasting improvements in student outcomes.

We are a team of passionate and experienced professionals, many of whom are former teachers and school leaders, who bring a deep, first-hand understanding of the challenges and opportunities within our city's schools. This allows us to develop and deliver resources that are truly responsive to the needs of educators and students. From our open-source, high-quality curriculum materials to our cutting-edge data analysis tools like the Portal, we equip schools with the infrastructure to succeed. We are proud to support a vast network of district and charter schools across all five boroughs, helping them to analyze student performance, diagnose challenges, and implement solutions that are tailored to their unique communities. We are committed to being data-informed but always human-centered, recognizing that behind every data point is a student with limitless potential. Our ultimate goal is to create a more equitable educational landscape where every student is prepared to thrive academically, socially, and as an engaged member of society.
