Our Beliefs
Welcome to the classroom of the future.
You may not recognize it at first – it isn’t defined by textbooks, white boards, lesson plans and rigid subject areas. Instead, learning is achieved through experiences, teaching is tailored to individual students, and essential skills such as problem-solving and creativity are developed across subjects.
This is a place where learning is active and exciting. Students are engaged because they’re gaining knowledge and skills relevant to their world. They take responsibility for their own education. Teachers and students work collaboratively, and they take part in the real world outside the classroom door.
Our education system has become a world of learning, tapping the full potential of every student it touches.
Realizing the promise of the future
At KnowledgeWorks, we have a clear vision of the vast promise the future of education holds. But we also know that promise could be compromised for some.
How will the future reach families who can’t provide such basics as transportation or a computer at home? Those who aren’t used to navigating bureaucracies or for whom language is a barrier? How will it engage children whose dreams have been deflated by generations of stunted opportunity? Unless we take action now, it won’t.
KnowledgeWorks is committed to bringing the future of education to every learner, every school, every community.
What drives us
Our understanding of the future of education, coupled with an underlying belief in the potential of every learner, compels us to make sure the promise of the future reaches every student. That’s why we continue exploring what lies ahead and working to spark innovation around what we learn. see What Drives Us >>
How we create change
Our ideas about the future of education are big. Big enough that they can feel overwhelming. But we firmly believe you have to roll up your sleeves and get busy. We started with transforming high schools, but our work to breathe life into learning doesn’t stop there. see How We Create Change >>
