Education serves as a major stumbling block preventing many otherwise-enthusiastic parents from having children. When a strong education feels prohibitively expensive, unattainable, cumbersome, overly demanding, or otherwise out of reach, people who would only have children if they could provide them with the very best choose to forego parenthood entirely.Â
Our Objective
To make parenthood incrementally more accessible to would-be parents, especially those coming from non-traditional family backgrounds, we are developing a new, low/no-cost educational platform that emphasizes self-driven learning and cultivates advanced achievement in fields of unique interest to a given student while shielding students from falling too far behind on essential subjects needed to function in most realms.Â
The Collins Institute
This educational platform, dubbed the Collins Institute—as it is a resource students can use to hone their own destinies and careers—can be explored in greater detail at CollinsInstitute.org.
