Zack Has a School



Zack goes to a school – Compass – which is so innovative that I tear up every time I go to one of their expositions.

The Old Formulas of How to Succeed in Life have crumbled. If you’re educating your kids in that old model, they’re already behind. Every time I walk into Zack’s school, Compass Community Collaborative School in Fort Collins, Colorado, I want to weep with gratitude and I say out loud, “We are so fucking lucky!” This school prepares kids to tap into the genius of who they are, express their passions, make shit happen, innovate and pivot. Their education includes emotional and social intelligence (not strictly academics). Those are the skills this and future generation of kids need for basic survival in our RAPIDLY changing economy. Advocate for more schools like this in your little corner of the world.
