Springpoint was founded to support the design and launch of new, innovative public secondary school models. We believe that for all students to be prepared for the demands of the 21st century, schools must be reimagined as adolescent learning ecosystems and designed for the actual students that they will serve with input from the community.

Recently, we created an Overview about intentional school design that outlines the importance of engaging in a community-driven and student-centered approach to developing new school model designs. The Overview discusses what we believe are the most foundational design priorities—young people, great practice, and iteration—and gives a snapshot of the Springpoint design process, which we have led dozens of our school-based partners through and which you can read more about here.

We hope that this Overview contributes to the growing national conversation on the need for new school model design and the opportunities that it can create for young people. Please reach out if you’d like to learn more info@springpointschools.org
