About
The nation’s first graduate school to emerge out of and be embedded within K-12 schools
The High Tech High Graduate School of Education pushes the boundaries of what education can look like by creating the context for transformative learning and action in schools and systems across the globe.
As a hub for innovation, improvement, and equity, HTH GSE and HTH K-12 are intentionally interconnected to elevate student brilliance, inspire work that matters, and measurably improve life outcomes for all learners.
Mission
To activate a global network of change leaders to disrupt the status quo through transformative learning experiences.
Vision
To catalyze the world’s shift to more innovative, equitable, and extraordinary teaching and learning.
Scholarship & Innovation
For over 75 years, most American schools have followed three entrenched practices: isolating students from the adult world, separating thinking from doing, and segregating students by perceived ability, class, race, or language. High Tech High K-12 schools challenge these norms by:
- Admitting students through a lottery and grouping them heterogeneously
- Engaging students in real-world work through internships and fieldwork
- Integrating hands-on, rigorous projects that connect thinking and doing
The GSE has unique capacity to bridge the worlds of educational theory and practice, and of scholarship and action…. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt.

Leading with Innovative Practice
With deep and sustained roots in our 16 High Tech High K-12 schools, GSE students are immersed in learning experiences that are personalized, authentic, and transformative. Through personal learning plans and project-based curriculum, students explore their own questions through rigorous inquiry and share their learning with authentic academic and professional audiences. This “learning by doing” model offers ample opportunities to bridge the worlds of educational theory and practice and of scholarship and action. Like medical students in a teaching hospital, GSE students take courses and conduct research while gaining hands-on experience in real schools.
Designing for Justice
For more than a century most schools have followed three standard practices that are so culturally embedded as to nearly escape question: isolate students from the adult world, separate thinking from doing, and segregate students by perceived academic ability. Since 2000, High Tech High K-12 schools have challenged these common assumptions by admitting a diverse student body through a blind zip code-based lottery, designing heterogeneous and inclusive learning environments that leverage students’ complex identities and lived experiences as strengths, integrating hands, hearts, and minds through project-based learning, and engaging young people in the adult world beyond school.
In 2007, the High Tech High Graduate School of Education emerged from and remains embedded within the High Tech High network of K-12 schools — the first in the nation to do so. Educators experience learning within the context of our dynamic schools, where they can authentically examine connections between equity and design as they hone their craft of teaching and leadership.

Designing for Justice
For more than 100 years most American schools have followed three standard practices that are so culturally embedded as to nearly escape question: isolate students from the adult world, separate thinking from doing, and segregate students by perceived academic ability, class, race, gender, or language ability. Since 2000, High Tech High K-12 schools have challenged these common assumptions to realize the vision and promise of Brown v. Board of Education. HTH students are admitted through a zip-code based lottery that represents the diversity of San Diego county. From school, they engage in the adult world by undertaking fieldwork and internships, integrating hands, hearts, and minds through project-based learning..
In 2007, the High Tech High Graduate School of Education emerged from and is fully embedded within the HTH K-12 school system — the first in the nation to do so. Educators experience learning within the context of our dynamic schools, where they can authentically examine connections between equity and design as they hone their craft of teaching and leadership.
