Teachade is as much a story of a passion to serve as it is an innovative resource for educators, parents and children. While the leadership team at TeachAde has all come together from different walks of life and different parts of the country, we all share a commonality in our educational experiences and beliefs. We know that our nation’s education system is failing … and we believe that it can be changed, no matter how large or overwhelming the task may seem. We are here to introduce and inspire changes to our educational system. We believe that the answer to solving the global education problem is to proactively collaborate with foundations, companies, educators, parents and communities, leveling the playing field for success in life and in school.
