The Problem 

Running schools and networks is challenging, and not because leaders aren’t working hard. Leaders want to lead with sharp focus and clarity. But the whirlwind – the relentless pull of what is urgent – threatens strategic plans and stalls the momentum of even the most dedicated teams.

Our Solution 

Accelerate Education cultivates powerful learning environments for leaders – through peer fellowship and deep, customized support – that foster personal, team, and organizational growth.

Charter Network Accelerator

The Charter Network Accelerator 2.0 helps leaders leverage their entire senior leadership team to prioritize what’s most critical for network success, helping the team work together to drive academic results.

The Best Professional Learning Experience Ever

  • “The Charter Network Accelerator Program is the best professional learning experience I've ever had. The one-on-one coaching, cohort experience, and joint professional development with my CEO ensured that my growth as a leader was connected to the work of my organization as well as best practices in the field. The collaboration with my coach and peers connected me with a group of people who provided valuable insight about my role as the Senior Instructional Leader in my network.”

    Danielle Kelsick, CAO, Environmental Charter Schools, Los Angeles

  • “The program helped our leadership team create TWO clear priority goals and supported us in implementing those goals. The program has truly changed our mindset about how we can drive our organization forward by focusing on less work, but being very intentional about the work.”

    Tonya Randall, CAO, Journey Community Schools, Memphis

  • “This experience meant so much to me. We built strong connections with cohort leaders grounded in empathy and thought partnership—they are colleagues I will always be connected to. When I think of where we were when we started the cohort, we are not the same leaders related to leading strategic change.“

    Sabrina Pence, CEO of FirstLine Schools, New Orleans
