Welcome to What If/Schools

What If/Schools exists to build an educational ecosystem that cultivates a lifelong love of learning for all students by relentlessly prioritizing student voice, equity, liberation, and the dismantling of school structures that promote white supremacy through compulsion, compliance, and conformity.

We help educators design new schools and redesign existing ones that shred the status quo by boldly imagining "What if?”

• What if schools existed to cultivate a lifelong love of learning?
• What if schools started by asking students what they want to learn?
• What if schools were staffed entirely by educators who lived in that community?
• What if schools allowed students to set their own assignment deadlines?
• What if schools focused on changing themselves rather than changing students?

Our work is grounded in our core values of

imagination, audacity, and justice.
