ExED was founded in 1998 on the belief that every child – regardless of where they live – should have access to an excellent public education that opens the doors to opportunity and provides a pathway out of poverty.

As an early leader of the charter school movement, we believe in the potential for high-quality charter schools to close the achievement gap.

We built ExED to fulfill the need for a business management provider with the financial expertise, skills and integrity required to help charter schools operate at the highest level.

We are a mission-driven nonprofit committed to helping charter schools create efficiencies and implement sound business practices that ultimately allow school leaders to direct more of their time and energy to the classroom.
