One Stone, a school in Boise, Idaho, might look like a typical American school from the outside. But inside you will not find teachers, tests, or grades. One Stone, after all, is a student-run school.
The ambitious idea began when teachers noticed that students were struggling to engage with classes. More than that, they were coming out of the K-12 system without really understanding what the purpose of education was as it relates to their life and goals, according to Chad Carlson, director of research and design at One Stone.
One Stone aims to change that by giving students more power in choosing what and how they want to learn. The long-term goal is to prepare students not just for higher education, but for the meaningful lives they want to live.
