The Futur - Business and Design Education, Revolutionized

Our Mission

That sounds bold. We agree.
So, how do we get there?

Eliminate the biggest barriers to education: cost, time, and accessibility. Gather the most creative minds, technologists, producers and inspirational professionals to teach 21st century skills, while leveraging media platforms, social networks, and distance based learning tools.

That sounds modern, disruptive and unlike any school out there. That’s because we believe the future of school isn't a school at all—classrooms have no walls, students are never late, and classes are always in session.
