8Degrees Up inspires schools to empower students with agency allowing them to personalize their learning. We believe that school is still the best environment to best prepare students for an unknown world, however, the focus of school must evolve to transcend knowledge and focus on the skills and dispositions that create a learning mindset.
At 8Degrees Up, we help schools make incremental progress in personalizing learning. We work with our clients to create customized solutions that honor the unique context of each school. True to our mission, our goal is to create a personalized pathway for every client

The future will be owned by those who can learn, unlearn, and relearn. Schools need to cultivate students that know themselves, know how to learn and know how to leverage their unique strengths. At 8Degrees Up we believe that schools are ready to evolve. Our focus is to support schools in becoming learning progressive by personalizing learning and empowering students with agency. For students to own their future, they must first own their learning.

We believe schools must be learner-centered, empowering each child with the skills and dispositions to have agency in their learning.
For students to be prepared for their future they must internalize the learning process so they create and re-create their future.
We believe deeply that context matters and no two schools or students are alike.
To capture the human potential of our future, we must personalize the experience so that all students achieve high levels of success.
