The Yass experience has given us “permission” to do exactly that.

It’s thanks to organizations like the Yass Prize that our children are going to have a better tomorrow.

and I couldn\'t be more grateful for what it\'s done for us, and helping us serve more students and families.

including public recognition from our Governor and partnership conversations with other education innovators from around the country.

We believe very much that microschools should be bottoms up, they come from the community. They\'re founded by educators who know their community really well. And they want to design a learning environment for the kids in that community.

The funding is not following children. We\'re trying to make better options for kids, for poor kids, middle class kids. Wealthy people have this choice, they opt out of their systems easily, why shouldn\'t all children have that choice?

in innovators who are doing this type of transformational work, so that others can learn from it and replicate it, so that you can actually grow yourselves.

I\'m in the process of going through the construction of a 20,000 square foot $11.5 million dollar building dedicated to career and technical education for the students in the Philadelphia region.

going against the common core and focusing on what we know is important for kids really works, and having a network of people now that also agree was super huge.
