OUR MISSION + VISION

The mission of EQ is to build a system of remarkable neighborhood schools in traditionally under-resourced communities using a trauma-informed, whole child approach to education — ensuring college, career, and life success for all children.
The vision of EQ is to dismantle systematic educational inequities through the creation of high quality neighborhood schools, leveling up the community as a catalyst for change and choice.
