Inspiration
Latitude’s Founding Team worked and studied at High Tech High, a diverse by design school in San Diego that draws over 4,000 visitors each year to learn about its innovative Project-Based Learning Model. Learn more about High Tech High at its website.
While at High Tech High, Latitude’s Principal, Lillian Hsu, was featured in an international documentary series capturing innovative schools across the world.
Latitude’s model is also deeply inspired by Big Picture Learning, an international network of schools that values “Leaving to Learn.” We are proud to be coached by BPL’s national leadership team.
