MISSION

Personal Development in the Age of AI

​In an algorithm-driven culture where education is increasingly shaped by AI, 21st Century LEARNING offers an alternative space for students to engage and develop their hearts and minds as human beings.

Skill-Building & Connection

All of our courses fundamentally create skill-building opportunities to nurture awareness and attunement--with self, others, and the world.

Collaboration & Communication

Practicing collaboration and open dialogue on every assignment helps students recognize and grow these essential superpowers for success.

Critical Thinking & Media Literacy

Interrogating multimedia source material from countless perspectives, students learn to embrace challenges with curiosity and confident enthusiasm.

Interactive Learning

This interactive learning model ignites connection and a lifelong love of critical inquiry, experimentation, and discovery.

OVERVIEW

Humanities Education

21st Century LEARNING understands that what makes us human is the foundation of meaningful education.

Our Humanities-forward discovery space welcomes families seeking personal growth for kids beyond the limits of conventional classrooms.

We share these values with Dr. Fei-Fei Li, co-director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI, who has said: "We should raise our new generations to be fully human, not machines."

Custom-Designed Academic, Arts & Writing Programs

Challenging, fun, SEL-rich academic courses cover literary analysis, essay mastery, private school application essay prep, media literacy, executive function, and study skills.

Our robust arts curriculum spans music, visual arts, and a full range of creative writing classes--fiction, poetry, CNF, memoir, songwriting, screenwriting--all responsively customized to meet the creative, academic, and social-emotional needs of our students.

All classes are a collaborative venture guided by student-centered teachers, curriculum specialists, and practicing artists.​

Summer, Tutoring & Afterschool Programs

21st Century LEARNING's dynamic multimedia curriculum for small class sizes and 1:1 tutoring comes to life in popular summer programs, afterschool and homeschool online courses, and select in-person workshops.
