About Mastery Charter Schools
Mastery Charter Schools is a growing network of ten elementary, middle and high schools that prepare underserved youth for success in higher education and the global economy. We believe that educational inequity is the most pressing social problem facing our country—the civil rights issue of our day. Mastery exists to solve the problem. We believe it is imperative that every child receives a quality, college-preparatory education. Mastery is creating a network of exceptionally high performing urban schools that demonstrate that all students—not just those attending selective schools—can succeed.
Our mission is to see that all students learn the academic and personal skills they need to succeed in higher education, to compete in the global economy, and to pursue their dreams. We live by our motto: “Excellence. No Excuses.”
