Rex and Margaret Fortune School of Education

Fortune School is a network of high-performing, tuition-free public charter schools and nonprofit preschools serving Sacramento and San Bernardino, alongside statewide educator preparation and graduate programs through Fortune School of Education. Open to all, we are dedicated to closing the African American achievement gap by building a seamless pipeline—from preschool through higher education—that prepares scholars for success in college, career, and life. At every level, our community is united by a shared commitment to hard work, excellence, and opportunity.

Guided by our Five Pillars—High Expectations, Choice and Commitment, More Time, Focus on Results, and Citizenship—we cultivate academic mastery, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in our scholars. This foundation ensures students develop both the character and the college-going mindset needed to thrive in the 21st century.

Equally central to our mission is Fortune School of Education, which serves aspiring and current educators across California. Through our master’s degree and credentialing programs, we prepare teachers and school leaders with the skills, knowledge, and commitment needed to drive student achievement and expand educational equity. Together, our schools and higher education programs form a cohesive, statewide model for lasting impact.
