About Us

 

The first Vertex Partnership Academies campus opened in the Bronx in 2022. Each scholar will be empowered to choose either: (1) the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme that prepares them to enroll and thrive in premier colleges and universities in the country or abroad; or (2) the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme that prepares them to enter the labor market with professional skills and knowledge in a particular industry sector.

The unique innovation of Vertex Partnership Academies is that each Academy offers guaranteed seats to all 8th-grade graduates from a cluster of 2-3 partner charter networks. The initial Vertex Partnership Academy, which opened in 2022, partners with Brilla College Prep and Public Prep. 

Vertex Partnership Academies has received funding commitments from New Schools Venture Fund, Walton Family Foundation, Charina Endowment Fund, the William E. Simon Foundation, the Calder Foundation, Morgridge Family Foundation, and Charter School Growth Fund. Vertex Partnership Academies also received special recognition as a model of social enterprise.
