Catalyze New Models

Our approach

The Education Program seeks to advance greater success for all students by nurturing the development and expansion of high-quality, personalized high school models that are grounded in positive youth development theory.

We partner with education and community leaders, intermediaries, and researchers to:

• Connect & Understand: Provide opportunities (e.g., school visits) for stakeholders to learn and be inspired about the possibility of new high school models
• Design & Plan: Engage school teams in a deep, stakeholder-driven high school design and planning processes that are anchored in students’ strengths, interests, and needs
• Implement & Iterate: Support school teams to launch and continuously evolve new school models to support all students to be successful in and beyond high school
• Research, Reflect, & Share: Distill insights from partners and support new research to advance the work to create excellent high school models
