Bottom-up approach
of education reform


         Overcoming compartmentalization:
                Invisible College
That is also what we think…

                  Impact the World
               A passion for education.
   A commitment to making the world a better place.
  A desire to help solve challenges facing education.
            A dedication to learn, to lead.
                To impact the world.
                Some call it idealism.
                      We don't.
