Schools That Can reimagines education through real-world learning, helping students realize real-world success
What We Do
We bring real-world learning into schools to better prepare students for the future.
Who We Are
The largest cross-sector network of urban schools serving low-income communities.
Where We Work
Our schools, in cities across the country, form an extraordinary network.
GET INVOLVED
Principals & Teachers
We help educators bring Real-World Learning (RWL) practices into their schools through our signature programs, aligned to our RWL Rubric, that develop skills and provide resources.
Industry & Employers
We bring together industry leaders seeking to reinvigorate the education to employment (e2e) pipeline. Currently 6 million jobs go unfilled due to a skills gap. Let’s change that.
Students & Families
We believe Real-World Learning equips students with skills necessary to navigate a rapidly changing future. Our signature programs help kids realize real-world success.
Why Real-World Learning?
of Americans think students need real-world skills to succeed beyond school
of high school graduates feel unprepared for post-secondary pathways
of young college graduates are un- or under-employed
I love the Real-World Rubric and have used it in our planning. I love the vision for STC and look forward to a long-term partnership.
STC has expanded my world—but more importantly allowed the space for our students to go much further
Our students were able to complete four externships this school year. I was so thrilled to see how much that they got out of it!
What We Believe
In a rapidly changing world, the future of education is uncertain.
Can schools really keep up?
We need schools that can engage students and open up pathways to real-world success.
We need schools that can develop teachers to look beyond school walls and bring the real world into the classroom.
We need schools that can reimagine education through real world learning that closes the opportunity and skills gap.
We need Schools That Can.
