Our children spend nearly 1,000 hours per year in school.
Shouldn’t we make sure that school is a place where they want to be?
Educators are struggling, too, and that shows in the national teacher shortage.
How can we make school better for kids?
Our mission is to ensure all students can reach their unbounded potential no matter where their schooling takes place — anywhere across the U.S., in any type of school or educational setting. In working closely with students, families, and educators, we’ve found that the ideal learning environment looks very different depending on the child.
Some students are struggling with health (mental or physical) or bullying issues; others require a self-paced schedule, additional one-on-one support, access to advanced coursework, or any number of other personalizations that will help them achieve their greatest success.
We’ve also learned that many of the same reasons kids may say that dreaded phrase — “I hate school” — correspond with the reasons why they choose to pursue blended and online options.
We know, through experience, that if we listen to kids’ stories, provide students and families with information about the various learning options, and work closely with schools to support implementation of innovative tools and technologies, every child can thrive!
