Combining policy analysis with a grantmaking program that supports reform measures with the greatest potential to stimulate improvement in the K–12 public school system, Koret works to effectively enhance educational quality.

Through the Koret Task Force on K–12 Education at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, Koret funds research, evaluation, and analysis of public policy in an analytical context to identify and implement measures that improve education. For example, charter schools, school choice, and programs that recruit and prepare excellent teachers have been shown to improve academic outcomes.

Koret grant awards favor programs that:

  • improve measurable academic achievement;
  • encourage high-performing schools to develop and disseminate replicable models;
  • support innovative teacher training and resource development programs;
  • seed scholarship funds that motivate talented students.
