Civic Builders was established in 2002 to address the immediate need for charter school facilities support. By assuming development responsibilities such as financing, design, and construction, Civic Builders helps new charter schools open and growing charter schools reach more students.

Since completing the first school building opening in 2004, Civic Builders has partnered with the best educators to build inspiring schools in underserved neighborhoods such as Harlem, Red Hook, Newark, and more. Civic Builders has worked with small, independent charter schools, as well as large charter networks on projects ranging from renovations to new construction.
