Our Foundation is dedicated to transforming pre-K-12 education so that all students can acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to thrive in their studies, careers, and adult lives. Founded by innovative and award-winning filmmaker George Lucas in 1991, we take a strategic approach to improving education.
Edutopia is a trusted source and vibrant social network shining a spotlight on what works in education. We connect a community of stakeholders committed to improving education, showing them how to adopt or adapt best practices, and enabling them to share stories of innovation and continuous learning in the real world.
Our Vision
We believe that improving education is the key to the survival of the human race.
We envision a new world of learning, one where students become lifelong learners and develop 21st-century skills. It's a world where innovation is the rule, not the exception. It's a world where schools provide rigorous project-based learning, social and emotional learning, and access to new technology. It's a world where students and parents, teachers and administrators, policymakers, and the people they serve are all empowered with a shared vision to change education for the better.
We call this place Edutopia, and we provide not just the vision for this new world of learning but the information, the evidence, and the community connections to make it a reality.
In particular, in the 21st century, we believe three skills are fundamental
