Board of Advising Directors

Meet our board.

Randall (Big R) ReinersMr. Randall (Big R) Reiners


Chairman and CEO


Randall Reiners was driven to investigate the pitfalls and opportunities in the primary education system by his own experiences as a student and by his son’s development. In his early years, Reiners was pegged as a “troublesome student” because of his short attention span. As is often the case, the problem wasn’t Reiners’s ability to learn – he was bored being forced to learn as slowly as the slowest learner in his classes. more >
