Creating Schools for Urban Children

PCSD is a non-profit real estate development organization that finds, acquires, finances, and builds low cost facilities to high quality charter schools.

Focused on neighborhoods with chronically overcrowded and underperforming schools, our projects allow constituent charter schools to concentrate on classroom instruction rather than real estate development.

Over our six year history, PCSD has created 41 schools on 29 campuses serving 16,3060 students. In 2011, PCSD completed 1,351 seats for 3 schools on 3 campuses. Test scores, graduation rates, and subsequent 4-year college attendance rates have universally improved among the populations served at these new schools thanks to the efforts of the educators we build for.
