It Takes A Village: The Benefits of Mixed-Age Socialization for Kids
What do you think of when you hear the phrase “it takes a village?” Maybe…
We have a new brand! We have changed from RebelEducator to SchoolByDesign.
ABOUT US
A diverse team of educators and entrepreneurs, assembled together to change education.
Our purpose
We believe kids are better than the traditional education system gives them credit for.
Kids can write newsletters, launch podcasts, design video games, and start businesses. Time spent in the classroom isn’t the only place kids learn – and it’s often the most unproductive part of their lives. Kids don’t need more restrictions, they need an education that’s designed to prepare them for the real world.
The traditional education system is broken – but there are lots of people working to replace it.
We’re building an all-inclusive resource hub for parents, teachers, and entrepreneurs, containing everything you need to transform your kids’ education. We’re collecting research, data, anecdotes, case studies, and resources to help you find the education experience that works best for your kid.
We’re curating everything from the best apps to use for at-home study, to the best innovative schools to explore, to the best way to facilitate your child’s true passions.
Your child was built to learn, explore, and create. Our goal is to help unlock that potential.
