CASE STUDIES

What if the future of education isn’t bigger—but smaller, more personal, and radically student-driven?

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey Baugh sits down with Matt Clayton, founder of Slope School, to explore how traditional schools are being disrupted by a new, human-centered model. From working at Goldman Sachs to studying under Clayton Christensen, Matt shares how autonomy, real-world learning, and community are transforming how kids learn.

You’ll hear why Slope School focuses on mastery over credentials, how AI is accelerating student growth, and why building identity is the most important part of education. This episode is packed with insights for parents, educators, and entrepreneurs who care about the next generation.
