Dissolving the Walls
Before graduating high school, students spend over 15,000 hours trapped in a classroom, disconnected from the community and opportunities to learn with and from other people. It’s antithetical to everything we know about learning, and we’re trying to do something about it.
We know that dissolving the walls between the school and the community can be a powerful catalyst for learning. We work alongside innovative educators to build better and more scalable ways for young people to do work they care about, gain skills and experiences they’ll need, and come alive in ways they never imagined.
It keeps us up
at night
... knowing that young people all across the country sit in classrooms every day, disengaged and uninspired, despite educators’ best efforts. When the education students get doesn’t align with the education students need, something’s wrong. At Real World Scholars, we collaborate with an amazing community to create scalable spaces, tools, and opportunities for young people to learn and thrive beyond the walls of the classroom, growing as people and changing the world while they’re at it.
