Collaborative learning

Learn together in the real world.

Collage is a community that makes collaborative, in person learning possible in every neighborhood. Find a class, bring your curiosity, and build knowledge with people near you.

Our values

Learning is collaborative, project oriented, and open to everyone.

Collage facilitates collaborative, real world learning experiences. These ideas guide every circle we build.

01

Learning is collaborative

People do not learn in a vacuum. Knowledge grows when it is shared, tested, and discussed with others.

02

Learning is project oriented

Artificial problems are far from ideal. Real questions and real projects make learning stick.

03

Learning is for everyone

Price should not be a barrier. Learning is not relegated to schools, and lifelong learning belongs to every community.

This spring

Four circles are open now.

Classes offered for the Spring in February. Each circle is curated by a guide and open to new members.

How Collage works

A simple structure for learning together.
