“Through the model of mastery and Socratic seminar and challenging the kids to get really deep on certain topics. They were able to still significantly increase their outcomes on their benchmark tests. What we have done in phase two of that is taken it to schools. And so, enrollment is declining by 10% nationally in public schools. And superintendents are requiring their staff to think differently about what they can offer as far as choice and options to their families.” - Amy McGarth

And how do you do that kindness? How do you do that in a way that listens to others?” - Amy McGarth

“Technology is ancillary. It's part of every single move we make for the rest of our lives, but it's building a model in which the access is available to every student, no matter where they are, so that they aren't learning alone.” - Amy McGarth
