Welcome to The Foundation School

The mission of The Foundation School is to bring together the talent, skills, and motivation of education professionals committed to working together, defining the nature and needs of its students, and cooperatively devising techniques, strategies, and materials to optimally meet those needs. We do not work alone or in isolation, but as part of a team that collectively develops solutions. The success of our students is our top priority.
