[1] Sapientis' purpose is to mobilize an island-wide network of diverse and informed change agents who exercise leadership to improve the quality of public schools for all Puerto Rican children.
Sapientis believes that the most successfully way to improve schools, all sectors of society must connect and engage, and not rest until every child in Puerto Rico has access to a quality public education system that develops students' abilities, nurtures their talents and prepares them to compete internationally.
[3] The model incorporates elements of disciplines as diverse as philosophy, biology, political science, administration, social psychology and music.
Exercising leadership is a recurring activity that forces the organization or group to face its most critical challenges and mobilize its resources in order to generate progress.
It builds a team in each school to help it diagnose root problems, create and implement a series of interventions, evaluate progress and continue the improvement cycle.
This program is being implemented in the Luis Llorens Torres public housing complex, home to over 40,000 residents in the heart of San Juan.
[5] Frontline Educators Sapientis works with teachers and school directors through a fellowship program that provides participants with a deeper understanding of the adaptive leadership model.
[6] Get Involved Sapientis engages concerned individuals and socially responsible corporations as supporters of its efforts to improve the quality of Puerto Rico's public education.
