Business info:
Mission: To weave primary, secondary and higher education into a K-20 model of autonomous education that produces self- sufficiency and self-determination.
Vision: Ignite a movement that reclaims and advances the Ed space to meet the needs of the community.
- The K20 will engage the three levels of education (primary, secondary, and higher education) in a critically conscious model of education to create the next generation of intercultural/dual language social innovators and solution seekers. This joint venture will push forward the idea that we not only need to rethink schooling but that the education sector as a whole can be reimagined to create social impact across the US and potentially across the world. This praxis will unite an ecosystem of critical educators, community organizers, and barrio scholars who are doing work for the greater good in our communities.
