Expanding Excellence
Bold’s mission is to build world-class K-12 public schools that challenge and empower all students to excel in college and life.
We benchmark ourselves against indicators proven to prepare students for success in college and beyond, and set rigorous standards for academic and personal development to ensure our students are ready to compete and succeed at the highest level.
We are committed to expanding excellence and powering the potential of students in communities across the U.S. that do not have widespread access to top-tier, college preparatory schools. As we prepare to expand our impact, and explore opportunities to launch new schools, we are searching for a founding school leader in each of our target regions who believe in Bold’s vision of excellence, are committed to Bold’s design principles, and are well-positioned to engage families and community members in our new locations.
School Launch Fellowship
Our School Launch Fellowship is designed to prepare leaders in our target communities to launch and lead new Bold schools.
The School Launch Fellowship builds each leader’s deep understanding of Bold’s vision, culture, and school design through school-based leadership development at Bold’s flagship school in New York City. In addition to school-based leadership development, Launch Fellows collaborate with other senior leaders to develop the new school charter application and community engagement strategy to lay the foundation for a strong launch.
After the first year, and based on the local school launch timeline, Fellows transition into the role of school leader. Typically, the fellowship year is followed by a planning year, in which the school leader works closely with Bold’s central team to build the school team, engage families, set up facilities, and prepare for the school’s launch.
We are currently exploring opportunities for expansion, and accepting applications for School Launch Fellows, in the following cities and surrounding areas:
- Northeastern, New Jersey
- Bridgeport and New Haven, Connecticut
- Greater Boston, Massachusetts
- Providence, Rhode Island
- Cleveland, Ohio
- Nashville, Tennessee
- Las Vegas, Nevada
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Houston and Fort Worth, Texas
