our approach

Because questions are often better than answers

Every term, we embark on a journey of workshops, mentorship sessions and masterclasses designed to equip you with the capabilities you'll need to thrive in the world.

We believe that true learning comes from doing, especially when doing good.

We have developed a unique approach to learning which creates a unique balance between soft and hard skill development.

We believe that each learner has a unique learning path.

That's why we have devised an approach which will help them achieve their personal goals and create an exciting future for themselves.

A compelling experience, online or hybrid

Learners also have the option to participate in co-learning spaces in select cities globally at an additional fee. We have launched our first Learning Hub in Dubai.

These spaces provide an optional opportunity for learners to socialize with other learners, with adult supervision and on-site learning support - as well as providing equitable access to wifi and resources.

Choose your own mission, through personalized learning

Instead of exams, we learn through real-world projects. Instead of a standardized curriculum, we learn through personalized learning journeys. Instead of memorization, we focus on developing our skills, network, and portfolios.

Challenges

Meet learning outcomes by developing entrepreneurial, technological, and/or creative solutions to real-world challenges.

Skill Units

Develop a range of "hard" and "soft" skills to prepare for the jobs of the future.

Micro-internships

Learn by experiencing a job or industry of the future through internships and industry challenges.

Inclusive learning environment

Our model is designed to accommodate young minds with special learning differences to cater for all types of talents.

Personalized learning

Flexible and adaptable teaching, learning, and assessments.

Wellbeing & Flourishing

We develop skills that promote presence, self-awareness, and focus.

Purpose driven

The learning journey is based on student interest, passion, and autonomy.

What we are not

We are not
a STEM-only school.

We offer an interdisciplinary curriculum with equal emphasis on the humanities because we believe that the fastest way to collective and individual success is to be a whole human.

We are not
an elite school.

Exclusion is the antithesis of our mission and model. We are open to all and do our best to make our tuition affordable for all.

We are not focus on
a specific region.

We serve learners around the world, and in doing so foster greater global literacy, an increasingly essential capacity.

We are not
an online-only school.

We believe in the importance of physical human connection when possible, which is why we offer a hybrid model for learners based near co-learning spaces in major global cities.

We are not focused only on
university prep.

While it's important (and indeed, our learners have access to university counseling) it's not always the right next step for every learner. Our pathways prepare learners for the outcome that's best for them, from starting a company to exploring a vocation or simply getting a job.

We are not
a spoon-feeder of content.

We know spoon-feeding does not work and it's demotivating to most learners. Our approach is based on active engagement, interdisciplinary learning paths that incorporate workshops, mentoring, and both synchronous and asynchronous online activities.

Distance learning without the distance

Our online-first model means that learners can enroll in School of Humanity from anywhere in the world, and engage in the ways that work for them and their family schedules.

Our online-first model is designed for meaningful interactions, effective collaborations, and social exchange.

The five features that really matter:

A better way to assess progress

School of Humanity's assessment process is an essential counterpart to the learning process. We assess our learners' progress by tracking their learning outcomes through real-time, meaningful, project-based assessments.

Mastery-based

Master the curriculum and progress based on ability, not age.

Industry standards

Our learning outcomes align with the needs of the workforce.

Project-based

Projects, activities, interviews, presentations and much more.

Personalized evaluations

Assessing skill attainment in a variety of meaningful ways.

Real-world experience, compassionate guides

Every program at School of Humanity benefits from a highly curated team of learning facilitators (aka teachers) and industry mentors who are responsible for program delivery, deep learner engagement, and optimal learner progress.

Facilitators and mentors work hand in hand to ensure that every cohort is tracking against the learning outcomes defined in the Human Literacies Framework

Facilitators are recruited for both teaching and facilitation experience and a deep commitment to supporting the development of long minds

Mentors are recruited for the depth and breadth of their real-world industry experience and the gift of guiding others.

Learners love our approach

We love what we do, and we believe you should too.

The ability to become future-ready will increasingly be based on your love of learning, on your love of who you are, and your love for humanity. We are here to help you figure all that out.

The weekly experience

With a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning, the weekly schedules of learners at School of Humanity are designed for balance, wellbeing, and creative flow.

Frequently asked questions

There are many things that make us different to a traditional school.

Instead of courses, learners embark on interdisciplinary learning paths. These are guided journeys involving workshops, mentorship experiences, and learning activities. In challenge paths, the learning is guided by solving a global challenge. During skill paths, learners develop powerful skills through projects. During career paths, learners experience jobs of the future.

We don’t assess learning through traditional standardized exams. Instead our assessments are meaningful, project-based, and open to personalization. Our assessments are also aligned with how skills are currently being assessed in the workforce.

There are no subjects at the School of Humanity. Instead our curriculum is fully interdisciplinary and places emphasis on instilling values, competencies, and mindsets.

Our faculty consists of inspiring learning facilitators and industry expert mentors.

While our model is fully online, it is still designed to be interactive, social, and personalized. Additionally, learners get access to co-learning spaces in select cities.

A typical day consists of live workshops, sessions with your mentor, and interactive learning models. There is a balance of synchronous (live) and asynchronous (self-paced) learning. While some sessions are at fixed times, learners also get flexibility in their schedule should they need it.

Our model is also based on evidence-based methodologies and the latest findings from science of learning.

It is designed, led and governed by experts in education, with over a century of collective experience in designing, leading and validating new education models. We regularly test our pedagogy and curriculum through pilot programs.

School of Humanity’s education model is based on proven pedagogy and education models, including: Challenge-based LearningSolutionary EducationInquiry-based Learning and Competency-based learning.

Depends on the session! Our industry mentorship sessions include no more than 4 learners. Our workshops have no more than 15 learners. Learners also participate in 1:1 calls with their learning facilitators every week.

Learners have the option to participate from co-learning spaces in select cities globally at an additional fee. These spaces provide an optional opportunity for learners to socialize with other learners, with adult supervision and on-site learning support – as well as providing equitable access to wifi and resources.
