BES

Strong schools rest on the shoulders of strong leaders. That’s why BES identifies and prepares excellent leaders to transform education in their communities. From school founders and executive directors, to operations leaders, deans of students, and directors of curriculum and instruction, BES is a national nonprofit that trains leaders to build schools, to ensure their schools excel, and to sustain their results over time. For the last 25 years, we have trained nearly 3,000 leaders across the country. BES Fellows have also founded more than 220 schools in 54 cities across 22 states and Washington, D.C., educating over 73,000 students-- of whom 82 percent qualify for free/reduced lunch, and 90 percent identify as students of color. Our programs and services include the BES Fellowship, Follow On Support, School Management and Leadership Accelerator, Leadership Intensives, School Leader Coaching, and Executive Search.
