The Mastery School of Hawken in Cleveland, Ohio is a school built from the ground up around Korda Institute’s methodology. Students are given a curriculum centered on solving real-world problems through self-directed learning, engaging them with their community and each other. Adopting this radically different approach to education has produced a school that educators from around the world turn to as an example. Hear from students and teachers at the Mastery School about how giving students the ability to have a real impact on their world can lead to deeper, more meaningful learning.

 “I think because skills like critical thinking and problem-solving are things that you use constantly, you’re never going to forget them. These aren’t abstract concepts you never use in your day to day life. You use them constantly.”
