Join us for this interactive panel discussion. As the traditional education system strains to meet the needs of 21st-century families, many parents are seeking and creating something different. In this candid panel, parents and educators share the stories of the schooling models they chose, whether traditional or alternative: microschools, homeschooling, unschooling, hybrid co-ops, and beyond.
We’ll explore the values and real-life circumstances that shaped their decisions, the trade-offs involved, and the dreams they hold for their children’s learning. A conversation for anyone asking: What if school could be something else?

Panelists:

David Kirby (Founder of Acton Academy, Parent, Alternative Schooler), Kelly Smith (Founder of Prenda, Parent, Alternative Schooler), Arielle Zuckerberg (Investor, Parent & Alternative Schooler), Courtney Klein (Founder of All One Thing, Parent, Homeschooler), Rina Patel (moderator, Founder, CORE Districts)
