K-12 Education

Battle Creek’s children of all racial and ethnic backgrounds deserve a world-class education with well-resourced classrooms, top teaching talent and abundant career opportunities. We’re working with Battle Creek Public Schools (BCPS) and the community to transform the district with excellence, overturning the severe historical disadvantages created by segregation and policies like Schools of Choice.

Our region’s higher education institutions are getting in on the act by:

• Helping students excel in their education and master math. Western Michigan University produced an evidence-based math instruction program to improve student achievement.
• Sharing expertise. Grand Valley State University helped improve curriculum for BCPS students and provided mentorship and training support to BCPS teachers
