BEyond education. Be connected, be impactful, be supportive, be successful, be purposeful.

For 15 years we have designed learning ecosystems together with schools across Latin America.

Start a conversationWhat we believe

The ecosystem

Every school is an ecosystem. Students, families, teachers, leaders and tools: each part shapes all the others.

Every line reaches a person.

More than 50,000 students in six countries learn in ecosystems we designed together with their schools.

Every school’s ecosystem

    Listen

    Your goals, your context and the real day-to-day of your teachers.

  2. Four teachers looking closely at a tablet together during a B1 session.

    Understand

    Where your school stands today and where it wants to go.

  3. B1 and school leaders planning together around a wooden table with laptops.

    Design

    Together, the right mix of technology, training and timeline.

  4. Teachers working in small groups at a B1 workshop while the facilitator walks the room.

    Strengthen

    Classroom practice, with evidence-based training for every teacher.
