I don’t think I’ve been in a room as supportive as the Yass Prize Semifinalist room in Miami.

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

we have to find academic experiences that represent neuro-divergent learners, kids who want to learn about gaming, who want to do stuff online, who dropped out of school.

It's given us an opportunity to start critical discussions with our congregations, parents, community leaders and members, about the laws that govern education in Pennsylvania.

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

It's actually mind blowing. I really see myself as an education entrepreneur, but this expanded me.

I'm in the process of going through the construction of a 20,000 square foot $11.5 million dollar building dedicated to career and technical education for the students in the Philadelphia region.

It’s thanks to organizations like the Yass Prize that our children are going to have a better tomorrow.

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.

Great education is a vital link for students to become successful citizens.
