Our Journey
We support early-stage school design teams by guiding them through a three-part journey. In our experience, this sequence – Discover, Build and Test – helps folks move from imagination towards implementation.
Our methods are not intended as a recipe for a single “perfect” school: We’ve designed them to be used and remixed by folks coming to this work at any stage of our journey – or yours. Looking for something else? Contact us.
0. how to Begin
Start before you’re ready: Our methods will help you build a team, set goals, and make a customized plan to ignite change.
1. Discover
Why reimagine school today? To find answers, begin by doing research grounded in your own community. You’ll conduct empathy interviews, shadow students, and collect data that will help you to craft your own unique case for change.
2. Build
What kind of school will you build with your community? Translate your research into actionable insights by preparing a graduate profile, developing design anchors, and building a “signature experience” – a working vision of your new model.
3. Test
How will you bring your vision to life?Pilot your signature experience in real life to test a small part of your larger vision. Then, work with us to iterate and grow.
