Charter management organization operating 17 schools across the Bronx and Connecticut
Excellence Community Schools operates a network of 17 charter schools serving K–8 students in the Bronx and Stamford, with a curriculum-and-operations focus reflected in their hiring: 75% education roles, plus dedicated ops, HR, and finance functions. Their active project list—multi-year IT roadmap, edtech platform implementation, real estate expansion—signals organizational scaling beyond classroom instruction. Current pain points around scalable infrastructure, data accuracy, and replication processes indicate they are building systems to support network-wide operations across multiple sites.
Notable leadership hires: Director of Operations, Chief Talent Officer
