MORE ABOUT

Achievement First Bridgeport Academies

In 2006 Charter Oak spearheaded the efforts to open an Achievement First school in Bridgeport. A K-8 college preparatory school for urban students opened in September 2007. Achievement First is a charter school management organization started in July 2003 by the leaders of Amistad Academy, a high performing charter school in New Haven, CT. A non-profit 501 (c) 3, Achievement First aims to bring scale the dramatic,life-changing student achievement results produced at Amistad by creating a school system of achievement-gap closing charters schools in New Haven and Connecticut. Achievement First Bridgeport Academy is the first of Achievement First’s Connecticut schools in open in a city other than New Haven. Today over 1200 Bridgeport students attend Achievement First Bridgeport Elementary School, Achievement First Bridgeport Middle School and Amistad High School in New Haven.
