This spring, we pulled up chairs (including some very small ones) in five amazing classrooms across the country.

The kids in the classrooms we visited couldn’t be more different from one another. Some are just beginning their school journeys, while others are nearly finished with it. Some were born around the corner and others overseas. Some come from families with multiple degrees, while others are first-generation college-bound.

But here’s what they have in common: access to schoolwork that challenges and inspires them. We wanted to understand what’s possible for students when they have that. So we asked.

On August 9th, we’ll be launching Room to Run, our first multimedia feature, which will take you inside those five classrooms and let the kids and teachers speak for themselves. We hope you’ll sign up now to be the first to hear from them.

In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come.
