Individualized + Education = Indi-ED
Our Mission
Indi-ED is committed to re-imagining school. We know that children are beautifully unique individuals and we choose to embrace those differences.
We believe that children are capable of much more than is available through traditional schooling methods and that the real skills that they will need for their futures are restricted in that system.
We have seen what can happen when students know that they have a network of people who believe in, support, and care for them and are committed to excellence in all areas of their lives.
- The mission of Indi-ED is to design strategic educational opportunities that connect to the real world so that our students become energized about learning.
- We tailor the experiences to our students’ interests and abilities, and collaborate with the community so that our students will be supported academically and socially.
- Our students learn to be accountable for their own learning by becoming a part of the learning process. Together, they create, experience, and connect in order to learn more about themselves, the world that they live in, and achieve their fullest potential.
The Big Picture
School Reimagined
We are embarking on a Revolutionary Era and Indi-ED is committed to re-imagining the idea of school.
Our founder, Christine Laurenzi was invited to speak at a TEDx event about how our education system should emerge in order to address our children’s beautiful uniqueness.
We invite you to watch with an open mind and gain a brief understanding of how a portion of our days are spent.
In 2024, Christine Laurenzi was invited to give another TEDx talk using specific evidence from Indi-ED’s students’ experiences over the past eight years of operation to illuminate how traditional schools can become beacons of transformation.
Only this time, she asked her students if any of them would like to tackle the challenge with her. Seven middle school students wanted to. They had three weeks to collaborate to write, memorize, rehearse, and deliver this powerful talk in front of hundreds.
They were able to pull this off with confidence and walk with the pride of accomplishing it because they’ve done it so many times before. Working hard for something you want, communicating their ideas professionally, and going after big things – it’s par for the course for all kids at Indi-ED.
