Rekha: Thanks for inviting me, Spiffy! Well, young families don't have the freedom to explore the world because their children are tied down to a rigid school calendar. Boundless Life empowers young families to live, work, and learn while experiencing the world. At the core of this movement is Boundless Education. Using a personalized approach, children address real-world challenges using the UNSDG framework and are empowered to explore their natural creativity, discover their true passions, and shape their own future. We empower a community of active and impactful learners who can make a change in the world.
