Our Network.

The Groundswell Network is a national community of educators, community leaders, policy experts, and advocates working to expand access to high-quality Opportunity Schools. United by the belief that students furthest from opportunity deserve schools built for their success, the Network shares best practices and drives innovation to transform public education.
