    One billion sounds bold.
    We agree.

    "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."

    — Albert Einstein

    Institutions are slow to change. Committees are where good ideas and innovative thinking go to die. We choose agility over dogma. Embracing and driving change. We need to wipe the slate clean and begin with bold, radical thinking.

    We have a simple idea — to put money, attention and resources where it’s most effective: in front of students. Not in administrators, buildings, parking lots, or monuments.

    Bring people together to form a vibrant community and safe space to share, discuss and learn. Connect learners from different cultures, interests, age groups and life experiences.

    Enlist a global network of the most dynamic teachers, and allow them to profit from their ideas. The future of learning isn’t a school at all; classrooms have no walls, students are never late, and classes are always in session.
