Vision, Mission & Values
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
- Mark Twain
School leaders know their “why”.
They would be in a different career otherwise.
Whether you’re an independent school, traditional public school or a brand-new, tiny charter school, you don't have it easy.
And it’s not getting any easier.
Gone are the days when educating your students was straightforward.
Dispensing the same curriculum to all.
Making sure the kiddos graduate with some good math skills, a taste for literature and a sense of world history.
A bit of curiosity, a strong work ethic and a smart career choice.
Off they go to work for a great company, get promoted, raise a family, have a happy, meaningful life.
That world is crumbling.
The future our students are going to face is alien to us.
It might be wonderful or terrifying.
And your communities know this.
They see the job market shifting towards the gig economy.
They understand that retaining a body of knowledge they can find on Google is not what will best equip their child.
They want you to teach their child about moral principles, collaboration, metacognition, grit, resilience, social-emotional skills, active listening, thriving in uncertainty and much more.
An educational revolution is brewing.
So your job is vast and daunting - to the point that school leaders, wearing multiple
hats, lacking resources, answering to multiple stakeholders, are ready to give up.
Our "why" is empowering schools to become financially independent.
In fact, we want to help you never think of your finances, ever again.
If you’re struggling, we will help you get on a sustainable path.
If you’re comfortable yet uncertain, we will help you thrive.
If you’re doing okay, still it might be good to secure your school’s vision. Change is coming.
We’ve seen that, at full enrollment, schools have the luxury to truly focus on teaching and learning.
Schools that have build a predictable system for growth are empowering their teachers, adopting new methods, building trust, establishing strong relationships with parents, setting high expectations, building a clear vision and direction for the 21st century.
These are the schools we all need. And since we don’t know what the 21st century holds, we need different schools, adhering to different versions of the future. That way, we’ll all be prepared.
Now it’s your turn. Tell us what your “why” is and we’ll let you know if we can help you achieve it.
Our Why
We make sure that schools realize their goals.
Values
Synthesis
Every stroke of every oar is more powerful when made in unison. We listen to all ideas, building without borders, across job descriptions and time zones. Transparency and humility give us all access to taking a leadership role. Schools first. Ego never.
Spotless
We love being tidy with our work and our relationships. Dust and dirt will always hide in corners. There is no detail too small or blemish too light for us.
Mental Flexibility
We greet every day as an adventure, taking calculated risks and mining the outcome for extra gains. Outrageous ideas are the portal to uncharted success. Every day is a treasure hunt. We plan for results and seize opportunities to expand our value to schools.
Capital Humans
We develop capital humans, never seeing humans as capital. Team members embrace change as the way to evolve and improve, knowing that taking personal ownership in the company is respected and rewarded. To remain fierce enough to make the long journey, we open the door only to gritty shipmates and keep our eyes on the horizon.
Compounding Mastery
As a team, we improve by 1 percent every day. We are far more concerned with our everyday cycle of improvement than about any single accomplishment. As the rhythm compounds, we become exponentially stronger.
Designed To Sail The Distance
There is nothing quite as dangerous as comfort. When we began in 2014, we were hungry. Now, we know it's going to take years to fully accomplish our vision. Efficiency, minimalism, necessity, and order are the points on our compass. Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.
