What is Lights On®?

In 2010 Julia Black was the winner of the NCPTA Gold Star Rewards for Changing the Life of the School. Inspired by working with her daughter's school, she founded Explorium in 2013.
 
Lights On® is her revolutionary learning framework that places every child's right to learn in their own unique way before anything else.
 
In this time of Education Evolution, changemaker families, businesses and educationalists around the world are experiencing the transformational potential of this brain-based and real-world learning approach for themselves.
 
In this fast-changing and unpredictable time, young people must be prepared to change and adapt, equipped with the skills necessary to thrive in the 21st Century. Lights On® learners are future-proofed, well beyond any grades, to do just that.
