Partners & Educational Supporters
Future receives substantial support from the community. Our community partners provide essential offerings such as early childhood development, before and after care, and meal programs. Future also receives support for funding through grants and by receiving generous donations from local supporters and businesses. Various organizations partner with Future to provide supplemental education, offering classroom activities, niche topic presentations, field trips to their spaces, and sponsoring after-school activities.
“Future Public School started as a dream envisioned by founders Amanda Cox and Brad Petersen back in 2015. I was lucky to be a small part in helping to make the dream a reality. Fast forward to 2023 and Future is a flag ship public charter school serving a diverse group of “engineers” for a future of success, citizenship and excellence. It is a wonderful story of innovators partnering with a community to create the future in real time.”
“The Regional Math Center (RMC) at Boise State University is pleased to partner with Future Public Charter School to design and implement powerful professional development opportunities in the field of mathematics teaching and learning. The Future team actively participated in a school-wide needs assessment to identify areas of strength and growth opportunities in mathematics education. Teachers have readily engaged in proactive collaboration with Regional Math Specialists in various capacities, including cycles of Lesson Study, participation in the Math Taking Action Collaborative leadership network, and completion of ongoing coursework through the SDE and Boise State’s graduate studies in Mathematics Instruction, Learning and Leadership programs. Throughout the collaborative process with Boise State’s RMC, the instructional leaders at Future have consistently modeled curiosity through professional inquiry, a deep desire to honor students’ ideas in the learning process, and the joy of crafting and refining professional practices to support and develop young mathematicians.”
“Future Public School promotes ‘Building the Future Together’ and Giraffe Laugh promotes ‘Building Strong Futures.’ Our combined efforts and similar missions to build strong, foundational futures for children creates a valuable partnership that expands our reach and is meaningful to families we both serve.”
“Future has consistently opened their doors to 4-H programming, inviting experiential learning experiences like fashion design, developing pollinator habitats, exploring the Boise River Ecosystem, gardening, STREAM summer programming, and learning about cultural holidays. Because school leaders and teachers are open to collaboration with community partners like us, students at Future benefit through exposure to diverse hands-on learning opportunities.”
