In many ways, I feel that our schools have failed us terribly. Not only are high school graduates ill-equipped with social skills, but they also lack life skills. These skills are COMPULSORY for their success in the next decades. If we don't teach them now in school, my question is, when?
I envision a school that teaches children skills they can apply, usable knowledge they can benefit from, and meta-skills they can reuse in different settings.
This has been my goal and I have been working on it for more than ten years. Read 'WHAT WE TEACH' to find out more about what we will be teaching.
With that, we hope to prepare the next generation to lead the world!
