Growing high-quality schools and reinventing the high school experience
Investing in schools that help students feel connected
Students who engage in engaging, relevant educational experiences find purpose and flourish. That is why we invest in schools that help students feel connected to the world they are stepping into.
For three decades, the Walton Family Foundation supported the creation of more than 2,700 innovative schools that set a high bar for student outcomes. Grantmaking to grow high-quality charter schools and to reinvent high school through new models that better prepare students for future success is more critical than ever.
