An Update From the President:
Dear Friends,
You’ve seen our impact—now be part of it.
When you give to Breakthrough Public Schools, you’re not just supporting a classroom. You’re investing in a proven model that is transforming Cleveland and preparing scholars for success from kindergarten through career.
As we celebrate 15 years, we’re reflecting on the early days of Breakthrough—and the partners who helped make it possible. Because of that early support, what started as a bold vision has grown into a network transforming thousands of lives across our city.
What started as three single schools coming together in 2010 has grown into a powerful network of five K-8 campuses, serving approximately 3,000 scholars each year. But our true impact is best seen in our commitment to our scholars’ full journey, from Kindergarten to Career. Every Step. Every Stage.
The Impact Today:
Our teachers support nearly 3,000 scholars each day, building strong academic skills and the character needed for lifelong success.
More than 3,300 alumni are succeeding in high school, graduating from college, and launching careers.
Through Beyond Breakthrough, scholars receive continued guidance, counseling, and resources long after 8th grade—ensuring they stay on the path to success.
You’ve seen our impact from afar—now, we invite you to be a part of it. When you make your first gift to Breakthrough, you aren’t just funding a classroom; you are investing in a proven model of transformation for our city.
In honor of our 15th anniversary, will you join us as a first-time donor with a gift of $15, $50, or $150?
Your first gift is more than a donation; it’s a vote of confidence in Cleveland’s future leaders. If you aren’t ready to give yet, we’d love to have you join us for a school tour to see this "Kindergarten to Career" promise in action.
Help us write the next chapter of the Breakthrough story.
With gratitude,
Your support is crucial in helping us
bridge the funding gap.
Public charter schools in ohio, like ours, do not receive the same per-pupil funding as traditional district schools, with a gap averaging about $1,500 per scholar..
Your donation will directly support the vital programs that make our "Kindergarten to Career" mission possible.
