Most Likely to Succeed
The
Webster Groves School District will present “Most Likely to
Succeed,” an award-winning documentary on the worldwide campaign to
re-imagine education at 7 p.m. Oct. 25 in the Hixson auditorium. The film offers an inspiring look at what
students and teachers are capable of—if we have the vision and courage to
transform our schools. The event is free
and open to the public. The evening will include dialogue about learning in
schools today.
The film has been an official selection of two dozen of the
world’s top film festivals, including Sundance, Tribeca, and AFI DOCS. It’s
been featured at leading conferences on education, including ASU/GSV, SxSWedu,
Harvard/GoldmanSachs and NewSchools Venture Fund. Audience members call it the
most compelling film ever done on the topic of school.
