Welcome to ATX Learning
Match Education is the shared brand name of Match Charter Public School, Match Community Day Public School, The Match School Foundation and The Charles Sposato Graduate School of Education, each of which is based in Boston. We undertake three main bodies of work, day-to-day:
Match Schools. The Match Schools operate a growing portfolio of high-performing and innovative urban charter schools. Our schools are widely recognized for their success in preparing low-income students for success in four-year colleges.
Match Teachers. The Match Schools train teachers for urban classrooms and our fully sanctioned graduate school of education, The Charles Sposato Graduate School of Education, grants Masters in Effective Teaching degrees. We seek to train the best rookie teachers in the country and, over time, to develop new insight into the nature of effective teaching and teacher training.
Match Export. The Match School Foundation has begun in earnest to consult with districts, charter networks, institutions of higher education, and policy makers. The Foundation works with them when they ask for advice or when they want the Foundation to build things for them. This work is a way for us to matter broadly.
