School of Humanity

Ever since we launched our online high school, we’ve been amazed by the demand from families for a middle school that embraces the same innovative, learner-centered approach. Time and again, parents have shared their desire for a middle school experience that nurtures curiosity and creativity while laying a strong foundation for future success. We have reimagined the Middle School experience to offer an inspiring learning journey for learners aged 11-13. Our online Middle School is designed to foster creativity, imagination, and love of learning. Swipe to learn how we’re doing things differently 👉

“It became very clear that there was a need for progressive and project-based education, even for this age group.” Hear from Raya, our Founder & CEO, on why we decided to launch a Middle School. 🧑🚀

🎉 The secret is out: We’re launching a Middle School! 🎉 From Fall 2025, even younger learners can learn by doing and having a positive impact on the world. Through our award-winning high school program, we have served learners from 27 countries across 6 continents. We’ve received international accreditation, multiple awards, and even been featured in a PBS documentary. But, we felt there was something missing. This, bolstered by demand from our families, led us to imagine the impact of meeting learners even earlier in their journey. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our Middle School, designed to empower young minds through play, exploration, and real-world learning. Welcome world, to the Middle School built for you. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g7Qf3xZm

What will education look like in the year 2100? What qualities define an effective school in that year? This may seem like an unusual question, but to be good ancestors, we need to have these critical discussions now. Real systems-level transformation in education will take generations, and we're in the early stages of that journey. That's why I was thrilled to moderate an intergenerational panel on "Education in the Year 2100" with Fathmath Zahanath Zuhury, Dr. Adil Alzarooni, and Michael Magee at the Dubai Future Forum. Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation: 🔹 In a world of shifting demographics, an aging population, and rapid automation, we must rethink the purpose of our schools and the lifestyle they are preparing learners for.  🔹 Addressing the looming climate crisis is non-negotiable. Education must empower the next generation to not only adapt but also design innovative solutions that promote sustainability and resilience. 🔹 In a post-AI world, the focus of the curriculum will shift even more to human skills - particularly the development of ethical & humane technology.  🔹 There is a good chance that we are on the path to becoming an interplanetary species, and we need to prepare our descendants to become responsible cosmic citizens.  🔹 To thrive in a complex world, future generations will need to approach challenges with interdisciplinary thinking and the ability to tackle systemic issues that affect all of us. Thank you to Eman Ebed Alkadi and the team at DUBAI FUTURE FOUNDATION for creating the platform for this discussion.
