#29: Building a school where kids love learning, feel supported, and grow into future innovators | Talk with Marv Shamma - Founder & CEO @ Flow Elementary Schools

In this episode, I talk with Marv Shamma, founder of Flow Elementary Schools, about building a school where kids enjoy learning and feel supported.Marv shares how becoming a father changed the way he looks at education. He explains why he started Flow Elementary and what he wanted to do differently, not by fighting the system, but by adding more care, meaning, and real life context to learning.We talk about project-based learning and why kids learn better when there is a clear reason behind what they are doing. Marv shares stories from the classroom, including how children work on real projects, present their work to parents, and learn to solve problems together.We also discuss what kids need for the future. We touch on adaptability, learning how to learn, and using technology to create, not just consume. Marv explains how Flow introduces coding and digital skills in a thoughtful way, without putting kids in front of screens all day.The conversation also looks at the human side of running a school. We talk about teachers, parents, leadership, and the responsibility that comes with caring for children every day.This episode is for parents, educators, and anyone curious about how schools can help kids grow with joy, confidence, and purpose.Feel free to follow Marv's journey on his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marvanshamma/——If you have any feedback and suggestions for upcoming episodes or would like to suggest more guests, you can connect with Ricardo Monagas: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricardomonagas/⁠.
