Our Culture

Do right by the students.

(...even when it's hard.) Parents and administrators are important stakeholders we'll consider, but people have catered to their wants for decades. We are a voice for the students. We obsess over what students want (or don't yet know they want). Serving students is the lifeblood of our organization.

Innovate from first principles.

We're radically rethinking what education can be, to build a new system for our new era. We strive to start with students' needs and work backward rather than thinking about how to build on the framework we have now.

Learn something new every day.

We're united by a passion to learn and grow, both as individuals and as an organization. We share and celebrate these learnings with each other regularly.

Ideas come from everyone.

The best ideas come from the new perspective brought by a volunteer speaking up at a meeting, or a 3 am conversation with a CodeDay attendee. We make it a point to seek out new ideas and facilitate newcomers speaking up.

Fight bureaucracy.

Good process is a mechanism to become an incredible company at scale; bad process is bureaucracy. When we see a bad process, we take ownership to improve or remove it. We try to keep the decision-making power in the hands of those who are doing the work.

Be authentic and accessible.

It's easy to get people to like you with enough money and status, but in the long run, we'll have 100x the impact by solving problems with resourcefulness and authentic human connection.

Say yes to fun.

We're (at least) as fun and playful as the students we serve. Even when we're creating a spreadsheet or organizing a staff meeting, we don't take ourselves too seriously.
