The Yass Prize has empowered our youth, families and community by bringing great visibility to our efforts.

The Yass experience has given us “permission” to do exactly that.

When we originally applied, we simply provided supplemental support services to homeschooling families. Now, we are growing into an education network that provides community, coaching, and curriculum nationwide.

And through that, we were able to open up our second campus in the city of Wichita.

in innovators who are doing this type of transformational work, so that others can learn from it and replicate it, so that you can actually grow yourselves.

and I couldn't be more grateful for what it's done for us, and helping us serve more students and families.

It has helped me raise the ceiling on what’s possible.

The Yass Prize is almost like Burning Man for education reform.

focusing on what we know is important for kids really works, and having a network of people now that also agree was super huge.

Not only because of the capital, but because of the knowledge that comes by communing with the diverse group of people as opposed to everybody that thinks the exact same way that you might think.

going against the common core and focusing on what we know is important for kids really works, and having a network of people now that also agree was super huge.
