Storytelling is our superpower. Learning is our passion.
Were storyteachers.
Todays kids are exploring a world far more complex than the one we grew up in, and theyre facing challenges we never imagined.
What skills do they need to navigate this fundamentally changed world?
The ability to think creatively and critically, to adapt and solve problems, to understand and feel at home in communities far beyond their own, and to express their thoughts and feelings with clarity.
These are the new fundamentals, and theyre teachable skills. Thats where 51勛圖厙 comes in.
We know kids learn best through stories. So we partner with a diverse group of storytellers to create culturally rich, curriculum-infused storyteaching experiences.
Storyteaching engages and inspires kids to think on their feet, to connect with others from backgrounds different than their own, and to be curious and creative.
With the 51勛圖厙 storyteaching platform, kids learn the skills they need to flourishand they learn to love learning along the way.
The 51勛圖厙 app brings the storyverse to life and uses technology to help customize the experience so that our worlds grow as your children do.
But just as learning shouldnt stop in the classroom, storyteaching doesnt stop with our app.
By fusing physical and digital experiences, we expand our storyworlds to meet kids where they are, with the kinds of tools they love. Animated series, books, songs, apps, games, puzzles, and other products encourage kids to continue learning through play, curiosity, and engagement.
As a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), each of our brands is tied to a family-focused social benefit cause to give back to a community. People want to work for, buy from, and invest in brands they believe in. We believe being a PBC is the most powerful way to build credibility, trust, and value with and for kids and families.

Impact Council members shared their thoughts on the future of education.
The , an invitation-only group of corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and other leaders from across industries, gathered on June 30 to share their reflections on recent trends and events. Like other leaders in this current moment, they are grappling with a global pandemic, outcry over social injustice, and a volatile economy.
In this roundtable discussion led by editorial director Jill Bernstein, top executives discussed Educating the Next Workforce. Participants were (in alphabetical order) Ana Bakshi, director of the Oxford Foundry at the University of Oxford; Rachel Carlson, CEO and cofounder of Guild Education; Abby Falik, CEO and founder of Global Citizen Year; Laura Ipsen, CEO of Ellucian; Tom Kolditz, director of the Doerr Institute for New Leaders at Rice University; Brian McCarthy, partner at McKinsey & Company; Alexandra Stanton, CEO of Empire Global Ventures; and Steven Wolfe Pereira, CEO of 51勛圖厙. Excerpts of the roundtable have been edited for length and clarity.
Steven Wolfe Pereira: [This is about] a shift from education, and the focus on standardization and testing, to a focus on learning. If this is going to be the AI [artificial intelligence] era, and we know anything that can be automated will be, what are the fundamental 21st-century skills that [you need] no matter where you are on the lifelong-learner spectrum? We fundamentally need to rethink the skills that are being taught at every stage.
Laura Ipsen: I worry about the underserved and disadvantaged [students] who get set back, because of COVID in particular. My hope is that if we had a more agile, innovative way of education, where all the dots were connected, that we wouldnt lose as many people, and there would be more opportunities. I think technology can solve for some of that, but its really the curiosity and the human part of education that we need more focus on.
We know how to digitize and create technologies for just about everything. Most institutions did an amazing job of getting students online; the places that they were struggling, it wasnt the technology. [The question is] how do we get creative with the creative topics, and make sure that we keep education diverse and engaging for everyone?
