GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Pacific Charter School Development, Inc. or PCSD (www.pacificcharter.org), a California non-profit public benefit corporation, is the leading developer of charter school facilities nationally. PCSD works solely with non-profit operators of charter schools. Charter school operators face a number of challenges as they work to reform education in our nation – and more than 40% of operators report having stable, affordable facilities as a leading day-to-day issue and a major investment of their time that should be spent educating.

PCSD was formed in 2004 with the mission to create affordable, high-quality facilities for charter schools with high academic results, so that the school leaders can invest their time and resources where they belong: educating. Together with operators, we are transforming public education across the country, making college readiness and achievement more tangible for all.

Since 2004, PCSD has worked with charter schools to acquire land, building school facilities, and match the project with affordable financing from a lender, all in the effort to bring more high-quality charter school seats to the markets that need them. In total, we have constructed 50+ new schools serving over 20,000 students, primarily in the California market. Since 2013, PCSD has expanded nationally, starting development projects with operators in a number of new markets, including Seattle / Tacoma, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, Boston and Phoenix.

Over the years, PCSD has developed expertise in charter school lending, designing to meet school’s affordability requirements, and all other phases along the development lifecycle. Our clients include Green Dot Public Schools, Alliance College-Ready Public Schools, Aspire Public Schools, Camino Nuevo, KIPP: LA, Summit Prep, and many more.
