thruCHARACTER
We are relentlessly curious, divergent thinkers
and ambitious dreamers ready to take on the
challenges and opportunities in public education.
Ambitious Dreamers
What do you do if you're getting mediocre results and know you could do better?
You don't stop dreaming just because no one sees what you see. We strive to bring solutions that may not be apparent so we can accomplish our collective dreams.
Divergent Thinkers
We combine the best of research and analytics with imagination and intuition to understand complex concepts and form innovative solutions, quickly. That's because we look for different perspectives, are unafraid to hallenge the status quo, and think outside of traditional ideas and expectations.
Relentlessly Curious
Just like our students and educators, we are always discovering new paths and new lessons. We bring a beginner's mindset, gather data, and test hypotheses to shine a light on effective initiatives and approaches. It is the first step toward our desire and determination to search for the best ideas and solutions.
