Strive Educational Partners

Reclaiming Childhood. Restoring Connection. Reimagining School.

We support schools and learning communities that prioritize reading, human relationships,play, and purpose — not screens, isolation, or endless testing.

What We Stand For

📖

The Joy of Reading

Children fall in love with books when they are surrounded by great stories, cozy spaces, and unhurried time to read.

🤝

Real Human Relationships

Learning is relational, not transactional. Children thrive when they are known, seen, and supported by caring adults and peers. 

🎨

Play & Discovery

Play builds creativity, confidence, and problem-solving. We support schools that protect time for curiosity and imagination.

🎯

Purpose & Meaning

Children deserve to feel that their learning matters. We back schools that connect study to real life, community, and future work.

Childhood Is Disappearing — And School Is Part of the Problem

Today’s children spend more time on screens than in conversation. Schools are increasingly driven by test prep, digital programs, and one-size-fits-all curriculum — while reading, relationships, and purpose are pushed aside.

We believe school should do more than produce test scores. It should help children grow — intellectually, socially, and humanly.

How We Help Schools and Learning Communities

Funding Innovative Schools

We support schools and microschool communities that protect real childhood — through grants, startup funding, and strategic support for programs that prioritize reading, relationships, play, and purpose over screens and test drills.

Building the Next Generation of Teachers

We help develop tomorrow’s great educators through fellowships, mentoring, and partnerships that cultivate wisdom, human connection, and deep subject knowledge — not just classroom management or compliance.

Restoring Childhood in Education

We elevate practices that help children reclaim time for reading, curiosity, hands-on play, conversation, and discovery — not just academic programming or screen-based learning.

Spreading Better Ideas

We connect parents, educators, and school founders who are looking for better ways to help children grow intellectually, socially, morally, and humanly — beyond industrial schooling.

We Support Charter Schools at Every Stage of Development

📝

Planning Stage

We help founders design human-centered school models built on reading, relationships, and purposeful learning. Support includes strategy, design, governance, and concept validation.

🚀

Startup Stage

We support schools in their launch year with tools, mentors, teaching fellows, early funding, community-outreach guidance, and real-world implementation support.

🌱

Growing & Scaling Stage

We help strong schools grow sustainably—strengthening teacher pipelines, promoting reading culture, and replicating what works without losing human connection.

Help Build Schools That Put Childhood, Reading, and Human Connection First

Whether you are a school founder, educator, parent, or funder — you can help create schools where children are known, reading is joyful, screens are limited, and learning is rooted in purpose and relationship.
