Our Philosophy

We are all about...

Seeing education in a new light, focused more on competency-based learning rather than a system
Helping stressed parents navigate this new normal of taking more hands-on control of day-to-day learning while negotiating work-from-home responsibilities
Celebrating each student's purpose, forever changing what is possible in his/her life

About Us

We are a network of ...

Parents who want to help other parents take on an active role in their children's learning and development.
Educators with a passion for critical thinking, discourse, and debate who want to advocate for well-developed minds through the Socratic method, active learning, and other modalities for each student's long-term success.
Analysts researching education policy to inform clients on best strategies because the "new normal" will require fundamental shifts in how we approach education.
Attorneys analyzing legislation to find answers for parents seeking alternatives to traditional learning.
Therapists carefully examining COVID-19's impact on students' academic and mental well-being.
