"Can Do" Support System from School to Staff to Student

Harmony is steadily growing its entrepreneurial organization. In just 10 years, the organization has gone from one school in one city to a multi-city, robust network of schools with support for every Harmony child.

Harmony builds its support network to leverage two core organizational strengths:

• A strong culture of collaboration, demonstrated by the “can do,” passionate attitude of its staff
• A distributed leadership model that enables deep consistency and fidelity to the school model, as well as quick and effective decision making.

The resulting network design builds upon these strengths to provide support to clusters of schools through our central office.

The Success Behind Harmony’s Collaborative Network

• Schools consistently deliver a high-quality model, led by school administrators and teachers taking on increasing amounts of administrative responsibilities.
  
  
• Collaborative and responsive regional clusters, led by:
• Cluster superintendents, who manage day-to-day cluster-wide responsibilities.
• Knowledge leaders, such as principals and assistant principals working within clusters, who enable cohesion to school models while developing best practices.
  
  
• A lean central office led by Harmony’s Executive Director (ED) with a five-person leadership team supplying strategic guidance, technical support and financial aid to all clusters.
