Coming January: Problems to Solve

This January, we’re launching a new blog series called Problems to Solve — a set of short, sharp reflections on the issues that matter most to the future of private education. The premise is simple: if schools want to remain truly relevant, they must move from theory to practice and engage directly with the challenges shaping our world.

We’ll explore topics that sit at the center of today’s cultural conversation — income disparity, the unraveling of purpose among men and boys, identity politics, cultural division, and the accelerating influence of AI — and examine what they mean for schools that want to lead rather than follow.

This isn’t a doom-and-gloom series. It’s a forward-looking invitation: What if education aimed at solving real problems instead of simply managing them? And what would it take for private schools to embrace that mandate?

Problems to Solve begins in January. It’s time to point education toward true relevance — and toward the work that matters.
