Expanding Innovation & Opportunity in American Education

The mission of the Center for Education Reform is to expand educational opportunities that lead to improved economic outcomes for all Americans, particularly our youth, ensuring that conditions are ripe for innovation, freedom and flexibility throughout U.S. education. Our vision is a country and states that provide increased, quality educational options that secure our nation’s freedom and future prosperity.

Indeed, education isn’t the end goal, it’s the anchor to happiness and economic prosperity.

Thus, we put our experience, our network, our assets, and our passion to work daily to achieve our Mission:

To expand educational opportunities that lead to improved economic outcomes for all Americans, particularly our youth, ensuring that the conditions are ripe for innovation, freedom and flexibility throughout U.S. education.

Our vision foresees a nation that enables broad and lasting quality educational opportunities that secure the freedom and future prosperity of all citizens.

Whether we’re steering media outreach to generate publicity, producing events in pivotal markets, interfacing with lawmakers, or connecting innovators and their products with investors and schools to accelerate their impact, our focus is simple: to give learners at all levels the opportunity to shape their education.
