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.
How our approach is different
from traditional schools
We reimagine schooling to enable the next generation to create an exciting future for themselves, and for humanity.

Interdisciplinary curriculum

Mastery- based
Progress through the curriculum based on ability, not age. Move at a pace that works best for you.
Flexible
schedules
Combination of live workshops and self-paced learning provides you with balance and time for creative flow.
Learners from around
the world love our approach

We've designed a learning experience that enables you to learn while forming deep bonds with your peers and making a difference in the world.
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:
- Social workshops and mentorship
- Personalized learning plans
- Interactive and project-based learning
- Digital portfolios
- Parent community channels
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.
In the short time I’ve been attending School of Humanity, I’ve felt confident in my ability to learn like never before. Making mistakes is encouraged, and mental health is nurtured; I am thankful for the opportunity to improve not only in my studies but also in myself.

Since joining School of Humanity, I have had the opportunity to dive into a wide variety of interdisciplinary subject areas, and collaborate with learners globally.
