Purpose Preparatory School (PPS) strives

to create deeper learning experiences that

foster a personalized, holistic, and
innovative approach to learning. We are
able to achieve these goals, in earnest, by
partnering with organizations and
individuals who not only understand the
purpose of our mission, but are also
committed to the practice of equity and
inclusion. PPS is seeking partnerships that
will consider and honor the social,
economic, and environmental impact of our
programs, projects, and policies,
partnerships that will significantly influence
the educational experience of our students,
faculty, staff, parents, and other affiliates.
In the spirit of equity and inclusion, we are
not defined by one approach toward
partnership. While we aspire to create
relationships that build upon and maintain
the financial health of our school
community, we also appreciate and respect
that not all successful partnerships are
financial. Our primary focus is to establish
partnerships that will substantively
contribute to the academic, social, and
emotional development of our students.
This contribution might manifest as a onetime donation, an ongoing sponsorship, an
internship opportunity, or a speaking
engagement the possibilities are endless!
Ultimately, however, we endeavor to create
opportunities and experiences that pave
multiple pathways for our scholars to
succeed as leaders, artists, activists,
etc.and we hope that this endeavor feels
collaborative and reciprocal.

As defined by Tony Wagner, educator and

expert-in-residence at Harvard Universitys
New Innovation Lab, deeper learning
captures the nuances, the ideas, and the
energy behind an entire effort to
fundamentally rethink the most important
outcomes in education for the 21st century,
If you are interested in helping to define
what deeper learning looks and feels like
at PPS, or if you would like to better
understand how you might sponsor an
already-established program, we invite you
to be in touch with Ms. Eliza Jackson
(ejackson@pps.org), our Director of
Community Engagement and Civic
Responsibility. We thank you for
considering this opportunity to build
together, and we look forward to
collaborating on initiatives that will
facilitate and bolster the strength of our
academic and non-academic programs at
Purpose Preparatory School.
