Community School Movement Across Miami
As part of Florida International University, one of only 12 public universities designated a Carnegie Foundation Leader for Public Purpose, The Education Effect believes in the power of communities coming together to shape brighter futures for students and families.
Our university-assisted Community School model reimagines schools as vibrant centers of connection, care and opportunities. By deploying the resources of Miami's local preeminent research university into local schools and weaving together partnerships, resources and shared commitment, we help students move onward and upward toward their fullest potential.
Through the combined strengths of FIU’s research, creativity, and people as well as the deep knowledge and dedication of local community members, we cultivate environments where every student can thrive. From North Miami to Homestead, this collective approach is transforming schools and strengthening communities across Miami-Dade County.
