At COURSE we create educational resources and experiences for a different kind of thinker: YOU
Learning with COURSE is learning where you are at. We create dynamic, imaginative adventures that are rooted in a foundation of culturally responsive and culturally competent theoretical frameworks, best practices, and, most importantly, lived experience.
At COURSE we explore. We integrate indigenous/ non-Western approaches & content; constructivist activities; immediate ideas, diverse platforms & tools; and hold them together with love and astonishment. We have built a team of highly qualified, visionary educators around the globe.
COURSE is learning, teaching and building for everyone.
COURSE is travel for your soul and beauty for your brains.
