A School Built for Your Child

A Brief History:

For over a century, schools have operated like factories—built for efficiency, not for unlocking individual potential.

The industrial model of education, designed in the early 1900s, assumed every child should learn the same way, at the same pace, with the same end goal: becoming a worker in an industrial economy. This model still shapes how we do school today:

🔔 The Bell System – Just like factory shifts, bells dictate when learning stops and starts—whether students are ready or not.

📦 Age-Based Grouping – Students move forward strictly by birth year, not by readiness, strengths, or interests. Fall behind? Too bad.

📋 Standardized Curriculum – Subjects are taught in isolation, in a rigid sequence, leaving little room for curiosity or deep exploration.

🏭 Rows of Desks, Teacher as Boss – Classrooms are structured like assembly lines, with students passively receiving information.

Unfortunately, this approach is not working. Consider:

• Only 17% of Gen Z strongly agrees with the statement I’ve learned something interesting at school in the last 7 days.

• Only 11% “strongly agree” and less than half “agree” at school I get to do what I do best every day

• More than 3/5 4th graders in the US are not proficient in math

• Nearly 1/3 teenagers struggle with anxiety

The world has changed. It’s time for education to catch up.

A New Way Forward:

Rather than trying to get your child to fit into an outdated system, we designed our school around how kids are motivated and learn best, in an environment built around mastery, autonomy, and purpose.
