School for Tomorrow (SFT) is an inde­pen­dent nonprofit secondary school serving D.C.-area students in grades 5–12 in Rockville, Mary­land. At SFT, chil­dren learn what they need to in order to achieve success in today’s and tomorrow’s world, and they learn in ways and in a struc­ture that opti­mizes their devel­op­ment, accom­plish­ment, and growth. SFT is taking gener­al­ized educa­tion to a new level of customiza­tion with extra­or­di­nary results.

So many parents are strug­gling to find the right educa­tion for their chil­dren, believing that there has to be some­thing better than what they have seen in existing public and private schools. They are finding the answer at SFT. Our curriculum is directly tied to college and the real world, and it provides students with prac­tical skills to navi­gate the future; what our students learn is completely rele­vant to life beyond high school.

SFT has been high­lighted in arti­cles in The Wash­ington Post and the Gazette. It has also been recog­nized as a model school on the website connected with the education-​​focused docu­men­tary Race to Nowhere. Founder and Head of School Alan Shus­terman has been inter­viewed on the local cable show Forward Motion as well as on Parents’ Perspec­tive, an award-​​winning weekly radio program which airs on radio stations across the country and around the world. He has been also inter­viewed by the website Stop Home­work.

SFT holds open houses throughout the year, for it is only through seeing SFT first­hand that you can begin to truly under­stand what sepa­rates us from all other schools.
