Education Innovation Retreat
San Clemente, California
Feel the rhythm of a guide in a 21st-century classroom. Begin to develop the mindsets, skills, and practices of a world-class guide to help students thrive in a school that blends software for academics with friends, fun, and hands-on.
LEARN MOREFeeling curious? You've come to the right place.
Experience the future of education in our immersive 3-day retreat. Dive into a world where learning is personalized, mastery-based, and powered by cutting-edge AI technology.
Why attend Curiosity Quest?
Microschools, homeschools, and the school-choice movement are expanding. They bring with them a willingness to use software for academic instruction to empower students to learn at the right level with tutor-like AI assistance.
That disruption presents a threat and an opportunity.
The threat arises from ignoring the disruption and continuing with conventional instruction as normal. Schools that choose this path will be left behind.
But the bright opportunity is to join the movement! Learn for yourself what self-directed learning feels like in a warm, supportive school. Observe the role of a guide compared to a traditional teacher. Feel the flow and cadence. Imagine the possibilities.
Imagine the payoff for your learners and you
As you embrace this new role, you will . . .
. . . unlock the magic of 1-on-1 coaching.
. . . find that differentiating instruction is simple and easy.
. . . leave behind teacher burnout and overwhelm.
. . . embed experiential learning into instruction.
. . . be living in integrity, knowing that your instructional model is advanced.
Spend three days satisfying your curiosity to decide if this model is right for you. Enjoy a beachside setting and the time to explore and reflect.
