Something about this moment in time feels urgent.
There are countless problems facing our world, yet most of the education system is more irrelevant than ever. Students sit, lined up in rows, listening to lectures, instead of standing up and creating the change we need.
Young people see the problems that need to be solved. They understand that the current mental health support systems are inadequate. They feel disengaged and know that learning could be more fun. They see the planet degrading. The best part is, they want to act! They have ideas for change! But most young people aren’t given the chance.
Dual School exists to fill this gap. By providing students the time, space and resources, we help young people build their dreams and launch projects that matter to them. Whether it’s a safer drone, a financial literacy curriculum, or a better way to help english language learners, Dual School students are stepping up where society has failed.
The exciting part is that it doesn’t take much. We don’t need to wait decades for governmental action in order to give students a chance to connect with their passions. If you can create the right frame, it only takes a few hours every week and you would be amazed how much a young person could accomplish.
