Charter school network operator focused on affordable, accessible K-12 education
Open Sky Education operates a network of charter and choice schools across the United States, serving families regardless of income or geography. The organization is hiring primarily in operations and HR roles—a pattern consistent with scaling school management infrastructure rather than building new product. Tech stack is standard administrative office tools (Microsoft Office, Meta, Hootsuite), reflecting an operations-first org managing physical campuses and student enrollment at scale.
Open Sky Education is a nonprofit charter management organization founded in 2006 and based in Waukesha, Wisconsin. It operates a family of schools and educational programs designed to be affordable and accessible to all children, with a curriculum spanning academics, character formation, faith formation, and college/career preparation. The organization manages facilities, before- and after-school care, and preschool programming alongside traditional K-12 offerings. Current operations employ 201–500 staff across charter schools, administrative functions, and student support services.
Open Sky Education uses Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook), Meta and Instagram for social media, LinkedIn, Canva, Meta Business Suite, and Hootsuite for marketing and communications.
Internal pain points include reducing costly facility repairs, minimizing system downtime, and attracting diverse qualified talent to support school operations.
