Alex Bales, our dedicated admissions counselor at The Socratic Experience, recently sat down with Michael Strong, the visionary founder of our online school. As many of you might know, Michael is not only a pioneer in personalized and purpose-driven education, but also a thought leader who has contributed immensely to the world of education with his innovative ideas.
Is your child entrepreneurial, creative, or intellectually curious? Schedule a call with our admissions team today to find out how The Socratic Experience can help them discover and develop their unique genius!
Over the course of his 35 year career, Michael has penned influential books such as “Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World’s Problems” and “The Habit of Thought: From Socratic Seminars to Socratic Practice.” His collaboration with renowned figures like John Mackey, the co-founder and former CEO of Whole Foods Market, is a testament to the power of his ideas.
The Socratic Experience is more than just a school; it’s a transformative journey for students. By delving deep into the core questions of identity and purpose – “Who are you? What do you stand for and why?” – Michael and our TSE team ensure an enriching educational environment that fosters both intellectual and personal growth.
One compelling example is the visible progress in a 9th grader’s writing within just a quarter, moving from a 7th-grade reading level to a college sophomore level, showcasing a profound understanding of complex societal issues. As another example, last year several students at TSE completed Harvard CS50, Harvard’s Introduction to Computer Science, including 8th and 9th grade students.
Michael’s unique perspective on education, combined with his rich life experiences, has crafted an institution that truly stands out. His story of social mobility, self-learning, and his dedication to empowering students to think critically and entrepreneurially is genuinely inspiring.
Join us in this enlightening interview to learn more about Michael’s philosophy, the foundation of The Socratic Experience, and his vision for the future of education. It’s a golden opportunity for parents looking for a holistic and engaging virtual educational experience for their children.
