S3 E2: Raising Heroes: Building Leaders and Character in Education

In this episode of the InFormed Parent, Suzanne Phillips interviews Matt Beaudreau, founder of Apogee. Matt shares his story of excelling in the conventional school system but finding that it did not equip him or others with the real-world skills needed for life. Matt's experiences at Stanford University and in public education exposed him to systemic issues within traditional schooling, where students were often well-prepared for academic success but struggled with practical life skills. This led him to explore alternative educational models, leading to the founding of Apogee. Apogee focuses on personalized, self-directed learning and emphasizes holistic growth for both students and parents. Listen in as they highlight the importance of not only educating children, but also mentoring parents, strengthening families, and preparing individuals for sovereignty and personal responsibility in their lives. . . . .
