Company Background:

ACS International Resources, parent to Inspiroz, has been providing IT services and consulting for 30 years with great success. Principal offerings today include providing strategic advice, IT infrastructure services, and affordable, fully-staffed 24/7/365 IT support and remote monitoring services.

ACS started working with schools in 2012 when KIPP Philadelphia became our first school partner. In 2016, we created Inspiroz to fully focus our work on K-12 education. Inspiroz is unique in that we focus our work on charter schools, and we understand what is needed to create and maintain an IT environment that allows teachers and leaders to drive student outcomes and operational excellence.

Inspiroz works with over 200 schools across the country. Among our clients are networks such as Uncommon Schools, KIPP Philadelphia, KIPP Jacksonville, KIPP Atlanta, KIPP NorCal, Democracy Prep Public Schools, James Irwin Charter Schools, Great Oaks, and City on a Hill, as well as stand-alone charter schools such as Global Community, Young Scholars, DC Scholars, Elsie Whitlow Stokes, Forte Preparatory Academy, Jersey City Global, and Booker T. Washington.

At Inspiroz, we solve the technology challenges of charter schools (and occasionally independent schools) by providing unmatched expertise through strategy, implementation and managed services. We partner with school leaders and educators to improve the way technology is used to drive transformational student outcomes and achieve operational goals. With a stable, portable and scalable IT infrastructure, we prepare and support each school’s technology environment through various phases of evolution and growth.

We have grown rapidly the last five years (3.5x) and have laid out an ambitious Vision for the next five years.

We are a mission-focused company that is committed to ensuring children of all backgrounds and abilities have the opportunity to excel academically and achieve greatness. We share in that passion with our school partners and live it through our values of: People Centered , Continuous Learning, Find a Way, Good People, A Better World, Lifelong Partners, Team Players and Ambition.
