Whatever It Takes: A Commemorative Video, 1998-2008
Created in 2008 upon the occasion of NewSchools' 10 year anniversary, this video is a celebration of the entrepreneurial education movement, which has made extraordinary strides in the last decade. By creating innovative new organizations that do whatever it takes to achieve outstanding results for students, education entrepreneurs redefine what is possible, thereby influencing broader change in the public school system. Since our founding in 1998, NewSchools Venture Fund has provided funding and management assistance to dozens of these incredible education entrepreneurs, who have in turn created organizations that serve thousands of students in our nation's most underserved communities.
