What if school felt less like a schedule and more like a mission?

Jason Walke returns to the Disrupt Education Podcast to unpack the first full year of Mission Mondays at Oldenburg Academy. Instead of treating field trips, guest speakers, service, internships, and life skills as interruptions, Jason helped move them into a focused weekly experience built around purpose, relationships, and real world learning.

Peter Hostrawser and Alli Dahl explore how Mission Mondays changed student culture, opened stronger internship opportunities, reduced stress, improved teacher focus, and gave students experiences they will actually remember.

This episode is for educators, leaders, parents, and communities wondering what school could look like when we stop overvaluing information and start designing meaningful experiences.
