"Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.”- B.F. Skinner

In this episode, Anjilee shares her perspective and highlights:

• The importance of allowing children to learn according to their learning style and of an education system that's willing to be adaptable 

•  How to build children's confidence after having experienced difficulties in "traditional" schooling systems

• Shifting the focus on growth and learning, not just grades

During those years, she has worked with numerous students, residential treatment centers, and curriculum providers to provide the highest quality of learning. Her passion for innovative and creative solutions for students led her to co-found Mountain Point Academy.
