It’s been referred to as one of the best examples of 21st century learning in America. One Stone is a student-led and directed nonprofit that empowers high school students to learn and practice 21st century skills through experiential service, innovative initiatives, social entrepreneurship, and the radical reinvention of learning. As active participants in the governance and direction of the organization, with a board of directors comprised of two-thirds students, one-third adults, students are in the driver’s seat.

Students take risks, focus on design thinking and empathy and approach learning in a way that can move as quickly and fluidly as Silicon Valley, a stark departure from the industrial age education system. One Stone’s approach is a model that any education system could draw from to reimagine what their schools could look like.
