Education Enterprises Mission Statement:
Advancing
the Goal of Ending Education as We Know
It
We at
Asora's Stellar Schools effort recognize that public
schools, and to a somewhat lesser extent, private schools
are unnecessarily costly and tend to provide low quality
instructional services.
High
quality affordable private schools are within reach and it
is the goal of the Stellar Schools Effort to develop such
schools. They are based on best methods, best technologies,
and best incentives.
We believe that enough is already known about what methods,
technologies and structural formats work to design the
schools we seek. Surely more (competent) research in
education is needed, but enough is already understood about
best practices to launch our project now.
We believe the best approaches to developing and providing
K-12 educational services will rely on both the non-profit
and the for-profit private sectors of our economy. We will
need the economies of scale provided by operating networks
of schools either under licensing or franchising
arrangements.
We therefore seek to develop networks of locally owned
schools that will utilize:
•
High quality content, including aspects of the Core
Knowledge sub-curriculum, the Hillsdale Academy curriculum
and the AMSA math & science curriculum.
• Superior instructional methods, in a self-paced
learning environment that elliminates social promotion and
its ills
• Stellar teachers and professors, creating and
presenting the online courses
• Web-based technology, allowing economies of scale
and other cost efficiencies
Part of our goal is the provision of Web-based
instructional services into homes and offices where other
students can develop their K-12 skills. Thus home schooled
children and adults lacking 12th
grade
competence are to be served as well.
Who
We Are:
The
Stellar Schools effort was initiated by David Anderson in
2003. Since that time, discussions with prospective
partners have been held but to this date the effort remains
a sole-proprietorship with three unpaid managers (COO, CFO
and CMO) and no employees. We believe we have the
intellectual assets required to move forward but have very
little financial capital to continue the work. Nonetheless,
we believe that our ideas and plans are sufficiently
promising that it is simply a matter of “when,”
not “if,” concerning the launch of this
business.
Anderson’s unique life experiences, including those
as a student, a teacher, a research scientist, a policy
analyst, and a financial planner, have given him the
insight and conviction to confidently push the Stellar
Schools concepts forward.
