What Is Education2Aspire?

Education2Aspire is a non-profit educational development program that equips teachers and school systems with strategies to help their students self-actualize both behaviorally and academically through an effort-based learning process. The approach and philosophy is unique in that the intrinsic desires of the students—rather than the external force of the school system—drive it.
