School Growth Partnership (SGP)

Many schools desire improvement but are already managing:

• Heavy administrative demands

• limited staff capacity

• Time constraints

• Resource limitations

SGP exists to support schools through guided, needs-based improvement, focused on sustainable systems rather than quick fixes. 

The program prioritizes:

• Practical leadership routines

• Teacher collaboration

• School-specific solutions

• Respect for local context

SGP is a partnership not an inspection, evaluation, or audit. 

The School Growth Partnership is open to schools anywhere in the world, particularly:

• Underserved schools

• New or growing schools

• First-time owners seeking structed guidance

• Schools seeking to strengthen leadership and instructional practices

Applications are accepted from:

• School Owners

• School Principals/administrators who:

  • • Have decision making authority

    • Have flexibility to implement school-level changes

    • Are trusted to lead improvement efforts

Applicants must have the authority and autonomy to effect change within their school. 

Applications will not be considered where leadership does not have flexibility to implement agreed improvements. 

Participating schools will receive tailored support aligned with their identified needs, including:

• Guided instructional leadership support

• Structures for teacher collaboration and planning

• Support for departmental or grade level meetings

• Practical tools for improving teaching and learning

• Ongoing reflection and feedback opportunities

Support is collaborative, confidential, and context-aware.
