About Breakthrough Schools

Breakthrough Schools is the highest-performing network of free, public charter schools in Cleveland, Ohio. Our now nationally recognized network of schools was formed in 2010 by three of the highest-performing, non-selective, college preparatory, urban public charter schools in Cleveland -- Citizens Academy, E Prep, and The Intergenerational School. We are building upon our successes by opening new Citizens, Prep, and Intergenerational schools throughout Cleveland. Our vision is for children in every neighborhood in Cleveland to have access to at least one high-performing, free public school. Our plan is to serve 7,000 children across 20 schools by 2020. We currently have nine schools serving more than 2,000 students throughout Cleveland.
