About Pacific Charter School Development

Pacific is a non-profit real estate development organization providing low-cost facilities to high-quality charter schools.

• The focus of Pacific's efforts is underserved inner city students.
• They find, finance, and build schools in neighborhoods with chronically overcrowded and underperforming schools.
• Projects allow constituent charter schools to concentrate their time, money and efforts on classroom instruction rather than classroom construction.
