Relay Lab Schools Information

Over a decade ago, a group of innovative practitioners had a bold vision for a new kind of teacher preparation grounded in day-to-day experiences in the classroom. Today, Relay Graduate School of Education is a national organization, developing 3,500+ teachers and school leaders on 15 campuses across the country. Relay has seen what works in the classroom, how it works, and why; that schools can have tremendous impact on young people’s lives when well-prepared, motivated teachers and school leaders work together to implement a rigorous, joyful instructional model. Relay Lab Schools is a new non-profit school management organization that partners deeply with school districts to support and ultimately transform the district’s lowest performing schools by hiring and developing excellent teachers and school leaders, and providing them with research-based college and career curricula, technology tools/systems and professional development. Our first partnership began in 2017 at the request of San Antonio Independent School District. In the 2018-19 school year, Relay Lab Schools will manage two "Improvement Required"​ elementary schools in west San Antonio. Our growing team is made up of experienced educators that keeps an eye on what matters most - our students. We love every nook and cranny of this challenge. We obsess over data, outcomes and impact. We constantly leap into the unknown and are committed to improvement - our own and each other’s. We work hard and fast, and do whatever it takes because we know the clock is ticking. We love what we do and we love the people we get to do it with. We are looking for people who are excited about supporting public schools, both charter and district, who are entrepreneurial, creative thinkers, who are willing to challenge their assumptions. We’re going to grow sustainably, working closely with community partners to make sure that we do everything possible to learn from others and continuously improve our approach.
