In the XP Trust, we design schools where children thrive in three dimensions: academic performance, character growth, and beautiful work. Our innovative approach focuses around:
Learning Expeditions: Cross-disciplinary projects producing impactful work like published books, art exhibitions, and scientific research.
Crew culture: A teamwork ethos that builds community and fosters leadership, activism, and equity.
Purpose-driven education: We inspire students to deeply understand their place in the world and become agents for positive social change.
This culture starts with our staff. By joining XP Trust, you’ll not only help students achieve more than they thought possible but also grow personally and professionally in a supportive environment.
“I have seen many school start-ups over the past 40 years, but I’ve never witnessed a more remarkable beginning than that of XP.”
