“At SKY U, we think there’s a Missing Link in education. We think that children need to learn to be motivated on the inside, to be accountable for their actions, to learn how to set goals, to learn how to be organized. Today, there are so many things bombarding children: negative things, information, positive things. If the children don’t know how to organize themselves, they get lost.”

One of the most pressing issues today is the crisis in education. Declining test scores, high dropout rates, soaring absenteeism and violence in schools are all symptoms of the same underlying cause.

There is a Missing Link in education. It’s not Math. It’s not English. It’s not Science.

The Missing Link in education is the lack of inner motivation and drive.

History and notable research repeatedly demonstrate that when children are internally motivated, good results follow. They’re more focused. They do their homework. They pay attention. They’re respectful. Their grades and test scores go up.

New paradigm-shifting solutions and tools are required to produce this outcome in the education of our children. This is where the SKY U Quest for Excellence is changing education and lives.

The SKY Quest for Excellence is designed to produce a self-sustaining system central to EVERY child’s education wherein children discover the motivation, purpose, and drive to excel not only in school but for the rest of their lives. By learning to dream big, finding the Missing Link between their dreams and their education, children gain new tools to stay focused on their dreams, while achieving excellence at school and in life. 

So far, SKYSHAPERS University initiatives have impacted the lives of more than 7.5 million students in over 10,000 schools across America.  In the next five years, more than 20 million children worldwide will awaken their Spirit to Excel via the SKY U Quest for Excellence.
