About UsReimagining education through equity and innovation

EdVisions is a non-profit educational development organization established in 2000.

Our mission is to support new school development and the transformation of existing schools that wish to create personalized, engaging learning environments. Through student-centered project based learning and teacher empowerment, our vision is to transform learning through innovation. We will help you create inspired learners who are prepared for college, careers, and global citizenship.

Building the

EdVisions Network

EdVisions has a sixteen-year history of providing support to innovative schools, both new and already operating. We were initially established as a part of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Small High Schools initiative and later a member of the Alternative High Schools Initiative and the Hewlett Foundation's Deeper Learning Network.

Our work grew out of the Midwest in the well-established and successful Minnesota New Country School in Henderson, Minnesota, one of the first and most innovative project-based learning high school models in the world. We also helped guide Avalon in St.Paul, Minnesota, a successful public charter school that utilizes the EdVisions’ model of self-directed learning and teacher leadership.

In addition, EdVisions has a network of well-established innovative schools from which to draw expertise and experience as it continues to spread the model.
