Welcome to Breakthrough Public Schools

Breakthrough is supported by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD), nationally recognized by the Gates Foundation, and funded by the Charter School Growth Fund. Breakthrough has grown to serve more than 3,600 students across 12 schools and receives tremendous local community support.

We believe that a diverse, inclusive learning environment fosters success in educational achievement and performance outcomes, drives innovative thinking, enhances our service to stakeholders, and fosters a workplace where all employees, students and families are respected and valued. We are committed to pursuing the goal of a culturally competent workforce that is reflective of and/or sensitive to the communities we serve.




What makes Breakthrough unique?
We believe students thrive in different settings, and so do adults. Breakthrough's schools offer distinct educational approaches. Our schools are organized into two K-8 continuums: Our Citizens Schools, and our Preparatory Schools. For Elementary Educators, we offer our Citizens K-5 model, and our Village Prep K-4 model. For Middle School Educators, we offer our Citizens Leadership 6-8 model, and our E Prep 5-8 model. Explore the video content below to get a sense of our schools.
