The student is like a traveller; but before a man can travel with enjoyment and profit, he needs both preparation and experience. First, he must understand the language of the people among whom he is to trave. Second, if he is wise, he will, on arriving, find a reliable guide who can point out to him the chief features of distinction and interest. After this, he will be equipped to wander by himself and make his own discoveries... Otherwise, he or she will be bewildered and go astray.
H. B. Drake, 1939.
In his 2006 TED talk, the late Sir Ken Robinson declared, “school kills creativity”; perhaps
more accurately, “school kills children's love for learning.” But is this truly so? Somewhat!
But does school intentionally want that? No. It's all due to the complexity of schooling.
Too many students go through school without knowing how to properly acquire knowledge or build
essential skills, while many more finish school without knowing how to turn what they’ve learned
into skills, opportunities, and impact.
School Way bridges that gap—making the school experience practical, skills visible and career
paths clear.
School Way is an innovative educational company that sells books and games designed to make
learning practical. We're on a mission to help students obtain more than certificates by equipping
them for real learning, real skills, and real opportunities.
We create practical tools, books and board games, and programmes that guide students from
secondary school through higher institutions so they can navigate school effectively, adequately
gain real knowledge, practically build real skills, consciously see real opportunities, and position
themselves for the future.
Our books are non-subject-focused student companion books, which give thought-provoking
insights and practical understanding of how school works, how to learn better, and how to make the
most of every stage, and our board games expose students to 40+ essential professional
skills in a hands-on experiences and connect those skills to over 150 trending professions, so students
understand what each career requires and how to start building it now.
Alongside our books and games, we run free educational programmes as charitable services to expand
access and impact. Our initiatives are:
We understand that schools aren't equal in terms of resources to unlock every child's
potential, but a child who understands how to maximize the available learning
opportunities his or her school offers through its available resources will succeed,
nonetheless. Our goal is to help students understand how to leverage their school's
resources for personal and professional growth.
