Homes of 21st Century Education are places where you and your children – through culture, the arts and play – can learn how to create positive change for the future.

Places to learn for the future

The world is changing quickly, and children growing up today will have to co-create a more sustainable society for tomorrow. For this they will need to develop new skills our school system hasn’t always been focusing on.

Homes of 21st Century Education are places where you and your children – through culture, the arts and play – can learn how to create positive change for the future.

But how can you know if this is a place worth going to?

There are eight criteria we evaluate that make the difference:
