A JON LONG Production
People have been talking about education reform for decades, but we missed something that was right in front of us. Skool is a documentary television pilot about radically reinventing education by changing the balance of power.
ABOUT
SKOOL is about youth seizing power over their own lives and place in society.
In a world that is changing faster than ever, kids need to adapt and reinvent themselves in a way that no prior generation has before. Find out more about the film.
“We need to rethink traditional power structures. We need to rethink what learning looks like. And how do we facilitate that conversation in a way that gets us to solidarity.”
– Wisdom Amouzou, Empower Community High School

Getting Smart
Contribution: Schools Alive with Possibility
What if, instead of shuffling from one disconnected course to another, high school was an invitation to contribution–a chance for each young person to figure out what they care about, what they’re good at, and how and where they want to make a difference?

THE AGE OF AGILITY
Unfortunately, our education system is behind the curve in preparing students for the new Age of Agility. One Stone is the rare exception in a national public education landscape that in many instances remains deeply mired in outdated practices.
