  • It’s a tragedy that, as the world outside school changes faster and faster,

  • the majority of American kids are not being set up to succeed in the future that’s coming.

  • We're entering a world where there's not a lot of value

  • in just kind of sitting there and doing what you're told.

  • Increasingly a computer could do that kind of stuff.

  • We are eventually going to create a new model of education suited to the 21st century,

  • instead of the last half of the 19th century.

  • This is going to happen.

  • We're just trying to make it happen sooner.

  • My name is Max Ventilla, and I'm the founder and CEO of AltSchool.

  • Working in Silicon Valley, and being at Google, and living here,

  • it's kind of impossible not to have it shape your worldview

  • and to believe that a mission-driven technology company

  • can have an incredible impact, beneficially, on the world.

  • And being a parent of young kids there's really nothing I can think of that is

  • more important than their education that I can be working on.

  • As an entrepreneur you have that startup bug.

  • You need to work on something that catches you, and this was the thing that caught me.

  • There is this problem, which is that the model that we have for educating kids,

  • it is a mass production model, it is a factory model.

  • It doesn't provide an individualized experience to kind of anybody.

  • Every 45 minutes kids switch to a different subject,

  • and they open a textbook, and they read the next chapter.

  • And at the end of the week they take a quiz.

  • That experience is teaching kids how to think like computers.

  • And that's not going to be very valuable when these kids actually grow up to be adults.

  • If you're trying to fundamentally transform the education experience,

  • that is not something that you can just whiteboard with a bunch of research,

  • and a bunch of smart people in a room somewhere.

  • You have to learn what that model looks like.

  • For us, that meant immediately, almost from starting the company, opening a school.

  • And then we opened three more schools, and then we opened three more schools,

  • and now we're opening two more schools that are focused on personalized education.

  • Each child defines their own experience to learn in a way that feels natural,

  • takes advantage of their curiosity

  • and that doesn't try and corral them to learn this thing right now, in this way.

  • And that's where technology plays a foundational role versus a superficial role.

  • There are two tools that fundamentally enable personalization in our schools.

  • One tool is called the Portrait.

  • So this is a representation of all of the things that are important about each child

  • that different people can add to for curating a day-to-day education experience

  • that's going meet them where they are.

  • That maps to a second tool, which we call the playlist,

  • which is the, the kind of scaffold for each child's day.

  • It's a to do list, and a calendar.

  • It allows each child to decide what order they do things,

  • or they can decide what's on that playlist as they get older.

  • It’s allowing a child to have agency.

  • None of us like being told what we need to do, when, where, how, with whom.

  • There's nothing that's more demotivating than that.

  • And if you're not motivated, you don't actually learn.

  • There's no way to force a kid to learn.

  • They have to actually go along with a certain experience, they have to actually think.

  • What we see is incredibly promising out of the gates in the first two years.

  • We're seeing much more than a year's worth of progress on kind of nationally norm tests.

  • But, as importantly, theyre making progress on the social, emotional pillars.

  • Things like grit, ability to work with others, ability to manage your time,

  • to set goals that are going to serve those kids critically

  • when they enter a world that's going to demand those kind of characteristics from them.

  • I mean my daughter is going to have a different life

  • because this is the kind of school that she went to.

  • I love this Bill Gates quote, that,

  • humans tend to overestimate what we can accomplish in a year,

  • and underestimate what we can accomplish in ten.

  • First year, it probably costs us $100,000 per student.

  • The next year it's like 60,000, the next year it's like 35,000, this coming year it's like 25,000.

  • I think that when you get down to about $15,000 per student,

  • now you're in the realm of the kind of median experience in lots of parts of America.

  • There are lots of public school districts that spend way more than that on average.

  • We're starting to say okay,

  • how do we take the platform that we use to support our own schools,

  • And how do we expand that platform with partners?

  • We're just starting to work with the first set of partners

  • who would open schools which aren't run by us.

  • It's on that path that eventually you get to what you want.

  • A new ecosystem where all schools, existing schools and new schools,

  • are able to take advantage of a new way to educate kids for their future.

  • There's literally a technology company behind their school working tirelessly.

  • That's the kind of ten-year future that we believe is possible.

  • In general a startup is hard. In general a startup takes a long time.

  • One that's trying to do something this ambitious in this space,

  • that's twice as true, ten times as true.

  • This is mile three of a marathon, and I feel good.

It’s a tragedy that, as the world outside school changes faster and faster,
