Educational Fundamentals and Academic Success

Event Overview

Please join us for a 6:00 P.M. ET reception with Ms. Katharine Birbalsingh—founder and headmistress of Michaela Community School in Wembley Park, London. Known for its tough-love behavior systems, knowledge curriculum, and teaching of kindness and gratitude, Michaela demonstrates how teaching fundamentals rather than ideology propels the most disadvantaged forward into academic success. We hope you will join us to hear Katharine share her captivating story of building a new school in an environment hostile to educational alternatives. Dinner to follow.
