Who is Future of School?

our mission

Future of School is a national education intermediary organization mobilizing change in American K–12 education from a one-size-fits-all system to one that ensures all students reach their unbounded potential no matter where their learning takes place.

our Vision

We advance, document, forecast and broadcast the evolution of K–12 education in real-time.

our VALUES

Equity • Access • Innovation • Transformation

our PROJECTS

Our Resilient School Project and Resilient Districts Prize are cross-sectional public-private partnerships to bring our nation together to create prepared and empowered students, parents, teachers, and schools. The Project has one goal to help our country go from crisis schooling to remote education.

Our Student Scholarship Program rewards students for their courage to forge new learning pathways, giving them greater financial means to continue their education in whatever post-secondary school they choose.

Through the Innovative Educator Prize and other targeted teacher support, we empower pioneering educators with grant funding that enables them to bring programs and tools into the classroom to transform the learning experience.

By amplifying technology's impact on students and educators, we inform, inspire and spearhead much needed change.

With a goal to document and forecast the evolution of K-12 education in real-time, Future of School is an organization of the people, by the people and for the people. We work in education. We are former teachers. We are parents or have children in our lives. We are advocates for better education because a passion for learning drives us, and we care about kids. And at one time we were students, too. We are YOU.

#futureofschool is a collective effort to:

  • Help schools and students go from crisis schooling to remote education.

  • Highlight the importance of innovation in schools.

  • Deconstruct common misperceptions about technology in education.

  • Recognize what, while much can be learned through “failure,” standing still is no longer an option.

  • Create an open space where educators can share their struggles and successes.

  • Elevate the voices of students who have embraced personalized learning pathways.

  • Serve as the leading public charity working to be the luminary for change.

It’s time for students, parents, educators, and employers to band together to embrace and inspire the future of our society and prepare the workforce of tomorrow.

It’s time for a revolution.

It’s time for a positive mindshift.

It's time to change the way we think about and do school fundamentally.
