We’re so excited to screen Most Likely to Succeed, a film that explores the triumphs and challenges of a project-based approach to learning.

ABOUT THE FILM: A SYNOPSIS
For most of the last century, entry-level jobs were plentiful, and college was an affordable path to a fulfilling career.
That world no longer exists.
The feature-length documentary Most Likely to Succeed examines the history of education, revealing the growing shortcomings of our school model in todayʼs innovative world.
The film has been named “among the best edu-documentaries ever produced” by Education Week, and called a “smart and engaging look at education in the 21st century” by The Hollywood Reporter.
Most Likely To Succeed was an official selection of the 2015 Sundance and Tribeca Film Festivals.
