More Than Fieldtrips: Museums as Lifelong Learning Centers

At its foundation, 9 Billion Schools believes in life-long, life-wide and life-deep personalized learning for all. It recognizes that learning is not limited to formal education—from the moment we’re born until the moment we die, we’re in a constant state of learning. That even includes our “off” time; leisure learning makes up a larger portion of our life than our time inside the classroom.
