The Experience

At YourFuture we believe the foundation of learning is centered around relationships. This is why all sessions involve online face-to-face interactions led by our award-winning certified educators - who we call Experience Facilitators. Daily, students participate in interdisciplinary projects with peers through collaborative tasks, questioning, and critical thinking. Our students will develop core competencies that will equip them to solve world problems we face today and in the future.

At YourFuture our guiding principles help build confidence, apply creativity, and build a robust skillset while having FUN!

What are parents saying?

Mother of 7 year old

It was an incredible experience!
They [students] constructed, expressed themselves, imagined, worked in groups, did physical activity breaks, and....we traveled to Mars.
We made new friends from around the world.
Do we really think that it's not possible to learn with technology?

Father of 6 year old

At some point during this quarantine, my son lost his spark. Through collaborating with kids his age, interactive and fun projects, physical activity, and mindful reflection, he has completely re-emerged. YourFuture is pushing the limits on education and we are BOTH loving it.

Father of 10/12 year old

I love that my kids are utilizing technology as a productivity and creation tool versus just for gaming and social media. Their overall digital literacy was heightened after just one week.

Mother of 9 year old

While I was working, I heard him laughing and having a good time. Mr. Donnie is a very good teacher.

Mother of 6 year old
