Welcome to the Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools, a coalition of 40 organizations committed to improving the quality and quantity of civic learning in our nation’s schools. The national Campaign is based in Washington, DC at the Council for Excellence in Government in partnership with the Academy for Educational Development. We encourage you to explore our site and to learn more about the work of the Campaign and its coalition of partner organizations.

The purpose of the Campaign for the Civic Mission Schools was expressed best by John Dewey: “Democracy must be reborn in every generation, and education is its midwife.”
