Welcome to Read Foundation!

 

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to our school community. Whether you are a prospective family exploring your options, a current Read Foundation family, or simply someone interested in learning more about who we are, I am glad you are here.

 

At Read Foundation, we believe every child deserves an education that challenges them 

Dr. Samuel Beyhan, Executive Director of Memphis School of Excellence

academically, shapes them personally, and prepares them to lead. Our mission rests on three pillars: academic excellence, character development, and community partnership. These values guide the way our teachers teach, our staff support families, and our students grow into confident, capable young people.

 

We know a strong school is built on strong relationships. Our teachers and staff work to create classrooms where high expectations meet genuine care, and we are committed to partnering closely with families every step of the way. 

 

This is an especially exciting time for our expansive network of schools as we continue to grow, including preparing for the launch of our Nashville School of Excellence campus. As we expand into new communities, the standards that have defined our campuses since day one remain unchanged. No matter which campus a student calls home, they can expect the same rigorous academics, focus on character, and sense of belonging that make Read Foundation a place where students thrive.

 

I invite you to explore what Read Foundation has to offer and to see firsthand the passion and purpose that define our school. Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are building something remarkable, one student at a time.

 

Sincerely,

Samuel Beyhan, Ed.D.

Executive Director
