RePublic isn’t just an organization. It’s a movement. It’s a family. It’s an unstoppable force for good to—pardon our idealism—make a massive dent in our country’s most entrenched injustice. RePublic is a network of high-performing public charter schools based in Nashville, TN and Jackson, MS with a mission to reimagine public education in the South and prepare all of our scholars to graduate from college. In addition to providing a world-class traditional academic curriculum, we empower our students to be change-makers by teaching them to code – starting in the 5th grade. Despite the fact that our scholars come from traditionally underserved communities (approximately 85% identify as low-income, and nearly 95% as students of color), we have seen them defy the odds to achieve outstanding results. RePublic’s schools have scored in the top 5% of all open-enrollment public schools across the state of Tennessee for both student growth and absolute achievement – making ours the first (and only) charter schools in state history to achieve this dual distinction. And we continue to make history - we've opened the first charter school in the state of Mississippi and the South's first K-12 Computer Science Center.
