We’re RAPSA Ready!🎉

Our CEO, Javier Guzman, is presenting at the 2025 RAPSA Forum, happening November 3–5 in San Diego!

His session, Counting What Matters, invites educators and leaders to explore how alternative schools can move beyond imposed metrics to tell more authentic and complete stories of student success.

The Annual RAPSA Forum provides a collaborative space for educational leaders, policymakers, and practitioners to learn and share leading-edge efforts to achieve equitable outcomes for At-Promise and Opportunity Youth.

Join the conversation and explore strategies to reframe how data and narrative can reveal the full impact of alternative education to our communities and broader public.

While this month shines a spotlight, our commitment to celebrating and uplifting these voices continues year-round.
