Since our first equity-centered campus launched in Indianapolis in 2018, pilotED continues to build exceptional elementary schools where students, teachers, and families are invited to revolutionize the idea of what’s possible in public education. From teacher hiring and training to student curriculum and learning, our schools are centered around the identities and dreams of our students.

1) SOCIAL IDENTITY.
History repeats itself. We know this. We also know that enabling students to discover more about their personal history and the history of others allows them to change their outcomes. This country is full of stories, perspectives, families, and neighborhoods whose stories have not been told in our country's education system, until now.

2) ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.
High GPAs and graduation rates are happening in urban areas. Academics are crucial to allowing our students the opportunity at becoming independent learners. Through tutoring, in-the-field mentorship, and NWEA/ACT test prep, we ensure our urban students surpass the academic maturity of their peers elsewhere. Our students must realize that academics are at the center of what it will take for them to reach their dreams.

3) CIVIC ENGAGEMENT.
Giving someone tools doesn't fix a broken car. We must make sure that our young urban students are being taught ways to navigate their academic, political, and professional worlds. This is the reason why we offer the most comprehensive programming of civic engagement skills, public speaking, perspective training, and workshops that empower our young voices, allowing them to forever change the landscape of this nation's many diverse neighborhoods.
