Manages tuition-free K-12 charter schools
Performance Academies runs a network of tuition-free public charter schools across Ohio (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton). It governs multiple K–12 campuses through non-profit boards with a centralized support team that provides curriculum development, teacher training, special education, and administrative services to achieve economies of scale. The Mind & Body program pairs extended academic time with daily fitness, including over 100 extra hours of core learning and about 1.4 hours of structured activity in sports like soccer and martial arts, while maintaining small class sizes, uniforms, and daily character lessons. Its High School Readiness Program helps 8th graders apply to top high schools and secure scholarships; the goal is to offer a scalable, tuition-free public education option that prepares students for high school and beyond.
