“Above all things I hope the education of the common people will be attended to; convinced that on their good sense we may rely with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty.
“The object is to bring into action that mass of talents which lies buried in poverty in every country, for want of the means of development, and thus give activity to a mass of mind, which, in proportion to our population, shall be double or treble of what it is in most countries.”

Why Public Education?
Public schools educate 90% of our children.
Strong public schools secure our community’s future.
Schools across the Commonwealth and the nation have been challenged to maintain the status quo with little hope of raising the bar to compete globally.
Board members, donors, parents, and teachers have answered the call to action: to create, enhance, and support our community by underwriting opportunities that add value to public education.
Charlottesville and Albemarle County schools are ready to jump start innovation and invent the future of public education!
