In this week's episode, we speak with Jevron Epstein.

Jevron Epstein has a background in Human Behavior and Finance studies and furthered his education by completing CFA Levels 1 and 2 as well as qualifications in Montessori teaching.

Jevron is the founder of a group of schools called Generation Schools. These schools incorporate a future-focused education system that aims to dismantle the prior structures and beliefs of traditional single-subject, outcome-based education and instead emphasize a thematic, personalized, holistic approach to education and human development.

Armed with his experience and knowledge, Jevron has developed an education methodology that effectively combines the Cambridge curriculum with the Montessori philosophy.Jevron has recently taken on the role of Chief Operating Officer at the Cornerstone Institute, which celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. 

Cornerstone is an independent, nonprofit higher education institution engaged in teaching and learning in the service of others to advance human dignity and social justice for all.
