EMPOWERING STUDENTS WITH AGENCY TO CHANGE THE EDUCATIONAL PARADIGM
OUR MISSION
"Helping students own their future by owning their learning!"
8Degrees Up inspires schools to empower students with agency allowing them to personalize their learning. We believe that school is still the best environment to best prepare students for an unknown world, however, the focus of school must evolve to transcend knowledge and focus on the skills and dispositions that create a learning mindset.
At 8Degrees Up, we help schools make incremental progress in personalizing learning. We work with our clients to create customized solutions that honor the unique context of each school. True to our mission, our goal is to create a personalized pathway for every client

At 8Degrees Up we believe that schools are ready to evolve. Our focus is to support schools in becoming learning progressive by personalizing learning and empowering students with agency. For students to own their future, they must first own their learning.

LEARNER CENTERED
We believe schools must be learner-centered, empowering each child with the skills and dispositions to have agency in their learning.
FUTURE FOCUSED
For students to be prepared for their future they must internalize the learning process so they create and re-create their future.
CONTEXT AWARE

We believe deeply that context matters and no two schools or students are alike.
