Today’s school system is built upon a foundation that was created over 100 years ago. Unfortunately, it has changed very little since being formed during the Industrial Age.

We still hold millions of kids hostage for approximately 35 hours a week. Students are ushered from room to room by the sound of an annoying bell and worst of all, students and teachers are working around an outdated system that was designed to produce industrial workers.
