With just one year with support, the school improved from eligibility for state takeover to scores at highest levels based on Tennessee's indicators for statistically significant growth.
We work alongside you—offering new perspectives, developing solutions together, refining your practices, and creating lasting structures that make progress in your school sustainable. Nehemiah Thomas, the principal at East Academy, part of the ACCEL Charter Network in Ohio, says:

FEATURED INSIGHTS:
Behind every data point are educators refining their practice, leaders creating the conditions for growth, and students building the knowledge and skills that open doors long after graduation.
Lavinia Group's programs have been selected by some of the country's most rigorous education funders, including Bloomberg Philanthropies and Ballmer Group — organizations that evaluate programs based on demonstrated outcomes and research evidence before committing investment.
Summer Learning
Summer learning should do more than maintain progress. It should help students strengthen skills, build confidence, and return to school ready for the year ahead.
Through the RISE Summer Learning Program, schools and community organizations provide students with engaging, high-quality learning experiences that accelerate growth and prepare them for success in the year ahead.
In Summer 2025, more than 60,000 students participated in RISE Summer Learning programs nationwide.
The program is projected to reach 100,000 students by the end of Summer 2026, expanding access to high-quality learning experiences in schools and communities across the country.

Because to teach leadership, you have to have been a leader.
Not all leadership programs are created equal. Some offer theory without practice. Others provide inspiration but lack long-term support. Leadership Academies go beyond the basics, equipping leaders with the skills, confidence, and connections to make an immediate impact in their schools and districts.
Our team brings deep, real-world experience as former principals, district leaders, and instructional experts. We've been in the roles we're preparing others for—making high-stakes decisions, coaching teams, navigating school culture, and driving improvement under pressure. That firsthand knowledge shapes everything we do.
We don’t just understand leadership—we’ve lived it. And we know what it takes to help others grow into it.

By combining our extensive experience with tailored, impactful coaching services, we help you turn innovative ideas into sustainable improvements that will continue beyond our direct involvement. By partnering with K12 Coalition, you’re aligning with a team that brings proven expertise and a deep commitment to advancing educational outcomes for every student. As Dr. Jack Smith, former Superintendent of Schools for Montgomery County Public Schools, explains:
“Spend more money to get the right culture, the right instructional practice, the right belief system, the right mindset with your adults, then undergird that with good materials. Having a good curriculum is necessary, it’s not self-sufficient. K12 Coalition owns the results. Most outside groups come in either as guest speakers or on a Zoom meeting, maybe a one or two-day training, and they don’t ever own the results. K12 Coalition feels as much ownership for the student learning, the student wellbeing, and the student progress as the teachers they work with, and it shows in the program results and data.”
