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.
