Embracing the philosophy of Jumoke – "a child is loved" – the mission of Family Urban Schools of Excellence (FUSE) is to prepare children to successfully compete in the global market place, overcoming any cultural, social or economic challenges. FUSE believes in the power of transformational educational practice. We refuse to accept any easy victories in this work. Every day our educators and administrators take on the challenge of transforming the lives of their students, families and colleagues by striving for excellence against all odds. The results we achieve transform the realm of what is possible for children who might otherwise never have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Our commitment to changing the face of public education through excellence in charter school management encompasses bold partnerships with traditional districts in addition to our core work of creating new high-quality charter school seats.
