About the series

Stories told by the people who live them

The Education Leadership Series is about leadership, not software. We visit each institution, listen, and let its leaders tell the story their way. Classe365 makes the series possible, but these films are not adverts, and nobody is asked to talk about our products.

  • Editorially independent. Leaders choose what they talk about.
  • Filmed where the work happens. Real places and routines, nothing staged.
  • Approved before it is shared. Every institution signs off on its episode first.

Season one

All episodes
