Transforming Education for All

Every learner is unique and deserves an education that helps them identify their gifts and pursue their passions.

Stand Together Trust supports social entrepreneurs who see beyond the one-size-fits-all model and are creating individualized opportunities for learners. We help thousands of partners apply a “bottom-up” approach to problem solving and empower a diverse and robust network of changemakers to innovate and tackle tough challenges. The best solutions often come from the people closest to the problems.

We believe education should be a three-dimensional experience – one that enables students to identify their innate abilities, turn them into valued skills, and apply them in ways that contribute to society.

Unite for Better Education

Welcome to the high school run by students

Creating new ways of approaching education that prioritize adaptability, creativity, and innovation could unlock the unique gifts and talents of every child in our country.

We know there’s a better way forward, and it starts with addressing one of the biggest barriers to educational equity: residential assignment.

By giving students more power in choosing what and how they want to learn, students are prepared not just for higher education but for the meaningful lives they want to live.
