Democracy is only as strong as its classrooms: When students learn to keep quiet rather than speak their minds, schools fail their most important purpose.

The Mill Institute provides training, resources and advisory support to teachers and school leaders so they can build learning cultures that support an open and rigorous exchange of ideas across their school communities.

Your gift supports schools where disagreement is safe, where truth-seeking is celebrated, and where young people develop the courage to engage across difference.
