Emerging School Models

Scaling for Success

Innovative school models are making significant strides across the American educational landscape. New micro schools, charter schools, private school models, career and technical education programs, and innovative forms of homeschooling are expanding at an accelerating pace. However, these emerging school models are at a critical crossroads. As they increasingly leverage school choice programs, there is greater pressure to demonstrate success to stakeholders. Scalability and sustainability remain core challenges, with school leaders striving to expand their models while preserving the essential attributes that define their schools.

To explore these issues, the Program on Education Policy and Governance at Harvard University is hosting its fourth annual conference on emerging school models at the Harvard Kennedy School on Thursday, September 25 and Friday, September 26, 2025.
