About this organization
Mission
Artesian Schools, Inc. fills unmet needs in K-12 education to ensure post-secondary readiness for students.
About
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, Artesian Schools, Inc. opened its first public charter high school in Memphis, TN. The organization hired all key school staff, including teachers, a counselor, and full time tutors and mentors. Mentors salaries were subsidized by a grant from Deltacorps. Some staff traveled to visit model schools and/or attend conferences intended to professionally develop the staff and provide information for the school. Artesian purchased required insurance for the school, site, and board of directors. The organization purchased student and teacher laptops and educational software, including textbooks. As the school is an early college high school and students begin taking college courses as early as 9th grade, the organization also paid tuition for these courses to the college. Lastly, the organization purchased materials for, and engaged in, marketing and community outreach in order to recruit students and teachers to the school. These investments in the school's personnel and instructional resources allowed Artesian to end its fiscal year with a school that showed higher and faster student growth than the average across the state of Tennessee. Ninety students finished a year of high school with 2 college courses complete.
