Molding Tomorrow’s Educators
Shaping the future of leadership and learning, today.
We are a dual-enrollment institute that makes education careers more accessible for high school students.
There is a nationwide shortage of well-prepared PreK-12 teachers. This crisis is most severe in schools in underserved communities, decreasing student achievement. We aim to increase the pool of talented educators by fostering early exposure, effective training, and accelerated pathways. Disparities in student achievement should not exist because of a shortage of highly skilled, deeply committed, innovative educational leaders.
