Results for Kids
“And how are the children?”
– daily Maasai greeting
We constantly ask ourselves this question, mindful that innovation only matters if it creates a fundamentally better answer for all children.

Diverse Voices
“We need to help students and parents cherish and preserve the ethnic and cultural diversity that nourishes and strengthens this community – and this nation.”
– Cesar Chavez
We act from the conviction that the best innovation emerges from diversity of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences.

Play Big
“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
– Nelson Mandela
We imagine bold possibilities, muster the courage to go after them, and consider system implications from the start.

– Carol Dweck
We strive to be constant learners, always seeking to grow and improve.
