Galapagos EDU creates evaluations for educational institutions, private companies and governments to insure the hiring and admission of the most qualified candidates
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates jobs for financial sector professionals and software developers working with artificial intelligence will increase by over 17% by 2033. Investment bank Goldman Sachs estimates that 9.3% of all jobs will morph into careers where AI works with a human co-pilot. A 2024 Georgetown University study only identified 19 high schools in Maryland, Georgia, California, and Florida currently implementing or preparing to implement AI career technical education.
Galapagos EDU is an incorporated online school combined with a cooperatively-owned, educational technology company centered around a teacher-parent-student triad constructed through a model of small learning pods. Teachers, parents, and students can set up these small learning pods within an existing school or they can use their state school choice program. The online school will also facilitate distance learning to support small schools in rural areas. We are on track to support the first learning pods in 2028 and will begin presenting the model in the spring of 2026.
Galapagos EDU learning ecosystems and self-testing apps can also be used independently.
If you are saying to yourself, "They forgot to mention administrators," That's because we developed Galapagos EDU to get rid of administrators. The Galapagos small learning pod model allows teachers to essentially construct their own small schools, managing administration with an AI-driven software application called Super Teach. Super Teach is built so teachers can administrate their own schools and tailor lessons to an individual student’s learning style.
There are six ecosystems in the interdisciplinary curriculum: core language, core bio, core econ, core physics, core mathematics, and core creativity. Materials work in harmony with each other. Here is an example. After learning about the genetics concept of admixture in Core Bio, students would use math to analyze real-world genetic data such as genomic mapping studies. After presenting their predictive data modeling to their peers, individual students would produce a piece of writing that is both creative and analytical. After presenting their predictive data modeling to their peers, individual students would produce a piece of writing that is both creative and analytical.
Our program fosters a challenging - and sometimes demanding - immersive learning environment. Culturally rooted in the Montessori framework, Adlerian concepts of social interest, classroom, and self-directed learning, the Galapagos EDU pedagogy draws upon the STEM-centered curriculum of schools in China such as Maotanchang or Hengshui high schools, adding creativity and critical thinking. Students persistently teach and learn from each other, not simply existing in a binary relationship with their instructor, combining the best of collective and individual classroom strategies.
Galapagos EDU also helps teachers facilitate their classes like a university classroom rather than a high school class room for more dynamic interchanges between student and teacher. This also alows for student responses to infuse greater critical thinking and even exploring new ideas in a subject.
The Galapagos EDU curriculum for secondary schools is tied to a new standardized test called the Core Competencies Exam or the CCE. The CCE is modeled after the Gaokao in China and the General Certificate of Secondary Education assessments in the UK. Schools in the United Kingdom will be able to use Galapagos EDU materials to help students prepare for GCSE exams and the self-testing apps have GCSE-specific sections. For US students, the CCE is more rigorous than the SAT or ACT. The SAT and ACT also do not test for material learned in the classroom, the CCE is based directly on the classroom material taught from the Galapagos EDU curriculum. The first testing dates for the CCE will be announced in the fall of 2027.
In Spring 2026 Galapagos EDU will begin addressing inquiries for support services in setting up small learning pods and hold informational sessions about the complete curriculum.
The Galapagos EDU Core Learning Curriclum designed to prepare students for the careers being generated from the 4th industrial revolution, artificial intelligence, quarenty DNA computing, bioinformatics, and robotics. Core Learning is not just rote learning and memorization, it integrates creativity to unleash innovation.
For the fall of 2025, we will be releasing an open source curriculum for artficial intelligence literacy across the curriulum for K - 12 teachers. The Malala academics only chatbot is being updated for the fall of 2025 along with a feature for students to check for plagerism.
