The system is so broken it is hard to know where to start. I started by building a new concept of education in masters degree programs at Carnegie Mellon’s West Coast Campus, as well as developing courses for Harvard Business School and Trump University.
Now I am trying to build a new kind of High School Curriculum, using the same methods that worked at CMU. The key issue is changing the subject matter. What is worth learning? Not the subjects mandated by the President of Harvard in 1892! Even he wouldn’t agree with the current curriculum. But there are too many with vested interests trying to keep the same old one in place. I am trying to bypass the existing high school system since I can’t kill it. |

Lectures are an ancient artifact of a time when there were not enough books, but still they persist.

Education must remain a process where an individual learns to discover oneself and, in doing so, endeavour to improve the human condition. For our future, it is important that we teach our children that reading and learning can be enjoyable and intrinsically rewarding.

Welcome to the Virtual International Science and Technology Academy!
The world’s first alternative online, learn by doing, high school. This is a four-year high school where only one curriculum is followed each year. Students take on the roles of professionals working in the fields of health sciences, computer science, business, and communications, . They solve the kinds of problems these professionals typically solve in their day-to-day work.
Students will be admitted into this curriculum in September, 2010. They will matriculate at schools that have agreed to offer this curriculum.
Visit VISTA’s website to take a look at our curriculum. |
