Graduation is not the finish line.
Yet too often, schools and districts lose sight of students once they leave—and with them, critical insight into how well the system is really working.
The Design Lab
The Design Lab is a collaborative, alumni-centered process that helps education leaders understand long-term outcomes and design smarter, more responsive systems.
Why Ednium?
Ednium works with recent alumni from historically underrepresented communities—alumni who bring proximity, perspective, and deep personal investment in improving educational systems for the next generation.
