Learning that Connects

Educurious® is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization on a mission to fundamentally transform the K-12 education experience.

Our vision is an effective education system in which young people learn in meaningful and inspiring ways and classrooms are a place they want to be.

Our goal is to cultivate curious, motivated young people who are ready for college and tomorrow's careers. The Educurious learning experience is the path to getting there.

Our solution captures the imagination and interest of students. By combining project-based learning, technology, and connections with real-world experts, we create a meaningful learning experience that cultivates contemporary skills.

We deliver next-generation learning experiences that:

  • Increase students' self-confidence as they solve real problems and see the results.
  • Expand students' career possibilities by connecting them to renowned experts.
  • Equip students with the communication and technology skills they need for college and their careers.
  • Shift the role of students from passive learners to active collaborators, problem solvers, and contributors.
  • Incorporate the technologies students use every day through our blended learning model.
  • Reposition teachers as guides and facilitators to transform their classrooms into learning communities.

Student Voices

  • Shareen dropped out of school at 14. After spending three hard years, she decided to return to school so she could support her daughter. In her Educurious classroom, she found support and encouragement to begin to read again. Leveraging The Educurious Expert Network, Shareen communicated with author April Henry via a webinar who shared her own meandering path. After building skills and confidence, Shareen has since decided that she too wants to be a writer.
  • Chris and Markus each entered 600 data points at home to visualize a model of how ideas spread through their social network. Chris told his teacher that, “I spent a lot of time on this, Ms. Daniels.” Their teacher remarked that both kids were much more engaged than in previous curriculum units. Chris spent time at home playing with the data display software program, and downloaded the latest version so he could be on the cutting edge.
