We are a California Private School operated by EducateONE a California Public Benefit Corporation, and soon to be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.


Our school purposely does not follow the 19th century conventions that education is still mostly confined to today in the 21st century:
=== We don't treat students like widgets on a 19th century grade level assembly line ===
* We do not use grade levels other than recognizing a distinction between primary education (our elementary school) and secondary education (our highschool)
* '''No grade levels'''... Because they are a grossly inadequate fiction
* We are built on mastery-learning, such that students don't graduate if they do not meet minimum standards specific to their future needs. But we ensure students can continue learning until they meet the relevant standards. And we work to ensure that they have a high probability of relevance to the student's future.
* '''We don't fail kids'''... Because they aren't the failures, the education system is
* We embrace Artificial Intelligence, but we do not let our students outsource their thinking to it.
* '''We don't teach the 3 R's'''... As 'riting & 'rithmatic are spelled wrong
* '''We don't teach to the test'''... Because life isn't multiple choice, its infinite choice
* '''We aren't luddites.'''.. Because the technology is here, and we must use it wisely
 
=== Instead we support student learning through 21st century ideas ===
* '''Containerized learning'''... We break learning down to self-contained modules that are relevant to where the student is and where they want to go
* '''Mastery learning'''... So that learners can always find a path to success, and do not continue until they adequately do
* '''Students develop competencies'''... All learning is about improving our knowledge and skills for the contexts we live in
* '''Project-based'''... Because actions speak louder than words
* '''We embrace AI'''... But we don't outsource our thinking to it

Welcome to Global SchoolONE

We are a California Private School operated by EducateONE a California Public Benefit Corporation, and soon to be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

We don't treat students like widgets on a 19th century grade level assembly line

  • No grade levels... Because they are a grossly inadequate fiction
  • We don't fail kids... Because they aren't the failures, the education system is
  • We don't teach the 3 R's... As 'riting & 'rithmatic are spelled wrong
  • We don't teach to the test... Because life isn't multiple choice, its infinite choice
  • We aren't luddites... Because the technology is here, and we must use it wisely

Instead we support student learning through 21st century ideas

  • Containerized learning... We break learning down to self-contained modules that are relevant to where the student is and where they want to go
  • Mastery learning... So that learners can always find a path to success, and do not continue until they adequately do
  • Students develop competencies... All learning is about improving our knowledge and skills for the contexts we live in
  • Project-based... Because actions speak louder than words
  • We embrace AI... But we don't outsource our thinking to it
