The Partnership For Inner-City Education operates a network of Catholic PreK-8 schools known as Catholic Partnership Schools, dedicated to providing faith-based education to children regardless of income. The non-profit company is based in New York, NY. These schools emphasize advanced academics, integrating rigorous curricula that include phonics, literacy, history, geography, Catholic faith, and continuous science education, with the goal of preparing students for algebra 1 by eighth grade and fostering lifelong learning. The organization offers free tuition, a supportive community, and a culture that values resilience and joy in learning. It is governed by a board of trustees and advisory councils composed of professionals from education, philanthropy, and business sectors, who provide strategic and financial guidance. The partnership schools are expanding, recently adding new schools in both cities, and actively encourage family enrollment and community engagement.
