Today on the Leap Forward podcast, we welcome Hugh Viney, the founder and CEO of Minerva Virtual Academy, leading a revolution in education through flexible, student-centered online learning. Hugh explores breaking down "happiness barriers" in traditional schools, such as rigid schedules and anxiety-inducing environments, by utilizing a hybrid model of asynchronous study and weekly one-on-one mentoring. Drawing from his entrepreneurial journey, he urges families to embrace non-traditional pathways that prioritize student well-being and academic success.
