Alliance for Education

Alliance for Education, "a nonprofit organization, exists to help ensure the academic success of all students in Seattle Public Schools. Every child can achieve. Setting high expectations is key. Students who achieve at high levels are more likely to graduate and be better equipped for successful lives.

"Established in 1995, Alliance for Education is an independent voice and external catalyst for excellence in Seattle's public schools. By sharing the goal of all kids achieving, we actively work as partners with the school district to identify needs, develop initiatives, and channel private resources toward programs which ensure the academic achievement of all students.

"Guided by a broad-based coalition of business, civic, education, and philanthropic community leaders, Alliance for Education has helped generate more than $90 million in charitable support to Seattle Public Schools. Each year, these community-generated resources bring additional training, materials, expertise and innovation into our schools—supporting the belief that all children can achieve."
