About Us:GEO Foundation has been making access to quality schools a reality for children since 1998. GEO incubates quality charter schools and then supports their growth and success. GEO-sponsored public charter schools are high academic growth schools and feature a unique K-14 model--full day kindergarten all the way through two years of college. We believe all children should have access to a quality education that includes college. We embrace all quality educational options that enable parents to help their children learn and schools to succeed. Through aggressive community outreach and the introduction of options that empower families, GEO strives to make educational choice a reality for all families
