To help every child in Seattle Public Schools achieve academic success.

In 1995, against a backdrop of academic decline and public dissatisfaction with Seattle Public Schools, three education-related organizations with similar goals reorganized and merged to create the Alliance for Education. The objective of the newly formed Alliance was to serve as a catalyst for change, a convener of community leadership, and a conduit for directing private resources — both dollars and expertise — toward critical needs in Seattle Public Schools. With Chief Executive Officer Robin Pasquarella at the helm of the Alliance, and with John Stanford serving as schools superintendent, the Alliance developed a unique and lasting partnership with Seattle Public Schools.
