Since 1991, we’ve helped more than 100,000 students across the U.S. and Ireland become college and career ready. Nearly every one of those CFES Scholars has graduated from high school – and almost as many have gone to college.
Our method works. But we can’t do it without you.
Educators like you are at the heart of our success. Our methods deliver results, but the talented, committed educators we work with are responsible for carrying out the plans.
We give you the bandwidth, and additional resources, to help you help your students accomplish everything you know they’re capable of. CFES Brilliant Pathways member schools receive:
