Envision Schools > San Francisco, CA

A commitment of support and stability for four unique “school communities” in the Bay Area

RESULT:

Stability at 4 schools for 1,200 students

CLIENT:

Envision operates four innovative life and college-preparatory high schools located in the Bay Area. Their mission: to transform the lives of students, especially those who will be the first in their family to attend college. Each school is a community, marked by intentional diversity, academic discipline, and excellence at every level – where compassion and high expectations inspire and empower students.

PROBLEM:

Envision needed financial stability to create a constructive learning environment, which was challenged by state deferrals and the need to respond to ongoing growth.

SOLUTION:

Charter School Capital provided ongoing support during the past three years, totaling more than $15 million.

In our unique environment, it's extremely hard to predict the state's payment schedule. To make matters more challenging, funding passes through the hands of so many bureaucracies before making its way to Envision. Needless to say, making my monthly payroll was fraught with challenges. With Charter School Capital on our side, these worries have gone away.”
