The Challenge​​

College readiness is no longer assured by a high school diploma alone. Globally, educational curriculums are behind in preparing students for essential skills and literacies needed for success in the 21st century.

Life-long deep learners who have an unflinching moral compass and the capacity to self-advocate with confidence and humility are likely to be the happiest and most fulfilled lot in the 21st century.

Our Solutions​

We enable students to confidently enter college with the abilities to effectively, efficiently and engagingly learn and participate in the 21st century, and to become active, self-directed, deep and reflective learners.

The world is multi-colored; not black and white or grey. Understanding and negotiating complexity is what’s important in the 21st century, not bravado, intentional and defiant dumbing down of the challenge.

In reality no one is ready for college and career without a robust foundation in core skills and knowledge. But those foundations must also incorporate 21st century skills: critical thinking, actions for success, and the ability to genuinely apply these in a global society. For the sake of today’s students who will be competing in a rapidly changing world, we must extend learning beyond the core and provide relevant and challenging real world connections throughout their education.
