About Green Dot

Green Dot Public Schools is a non‑profit network of public charter schools helping to transform the public education system so that all students graduate prepared for college, leadership, and life. Our schools are founded on an unwavering belief in the potential of all students, and there are four key elements to our school model that help us unlock the inherent potential in every student we serve: quality teaching and instruction, a college‑going culture, a focus on fostering leadership and life skills, and a focus on eliminating barriers to learning.

We have 18 schools and over 10,000 students across Los Angeles, located in underserved communities that have been denied access to high‑quality educational opportunities. We seek to prove that it is possible to close the access and opportunity gap that exists between low‑income students and their more affluent peers.
