About

Breakthrough Collaborative is the national office of the Breakthrough network, 26 collaborative affiliates in cities across the U.S. and in Hong Kong. As a pioneer in education reform, Breakthrough is tackling the achievement gap with a groundbreaking approach. Breakthrough increases academic opportunity for highly motivated, low-income middle- and high-school students, putting them on the path to college through summer and school-year programming; provides best-in-class pre-professional training for undergraduate teaching fellows in nine-week summer residencies; and offers leadership opportunities for professional educators, who act as instructional coaches in our summer residencies. Since its founding in 1978, Breakthrough has served more than 40,000 students and teachers.
