About the Employer
Envision Education is a nonprofit network of schools in the Bay Area committed to transforming the lives of students—particularly those who have been historically underserved—by preparing them for success in college, career, and life. Our network includes City Arts & Leadership Academy (San Francisco), Envision Academy of Arts & Technology (Oakland, grades 6–12), and Impact Academy of Arts & Technology (Hayward, grades 6–12). We focus on supporting first-generation college students and bring our mission to life through rigorous academics, project-based learning, and our nationally recognized Portfolio Defense model, which emphasizes academic mastery, leadership, and personal growth. In addition to our schools, we collaborate with educators across the country through Envision Learning Partners, helping districts and schools create innovative, college-going cultures and equitable learning opportunities. We believe in the power of story, influence, and relationships to accelerate equity and opportunity, and are proud to sustain, innovate, and expand our impact.

WHO WE ARE
We operate three high schools and two middle schools, serving approximately 1,500 students in the San Francisco Bay Area: 70% are low-income; 94% from communities of color; and 75% first generation college bound. 100% of our graduates are accepted to 2- or 4-year colleges, with 78% accepted to 4-year institutions. What’s more, our students persist in college once they enroll. Our college persistence rate is 87% from first to second year, compared to the national average of 74%. We also operate Envision Learning Partners, a coaching and training division working with schools across the country to adapt and adopt the Portfolio Defense model. ELP is working with more than 1,000 educators in 30+ school networks and reaching more than 200,000 students.
Envision Education has made an explicit commitment to becoming an exemplar network of schools with an instructional and cultural vision rooted in an anti-racist and pro-Black framework. We believe that targeted universalism–focusing on the needs of a group that has historically been marginalized–will support not only that group, but everyone, and that being explicitly anti-racist and pro-Black is essential to changing the status quo for all of our students.
