School's Out - Education Reimagined

October 30, 2018

Some of Marco’s academic learning up to that point had occurred inside a building that closely resembled the elementary schools of the 20th and early 21st centuries.

Who the facilitators were on any given day depended on what the students were exploring and what kind of expertise they needed nearby.

Education Reimagined: The Future of Learning

whitePaper | January 27, 2023

The fallout from COVID-19, continuing advances in digital technology, and intensifying pent-up demand for student centered learning have combined to present an unprecedented opportunity to transform education across whole systems. We have been impressed by the tireless action to address the emergency needs of students and families.
