With headquarters in Dubai and the US, School of Humanity designs and delivers innovative learning models that meet the needs of today's learners and today's world. It offers three online learning programs: a four-year High School; Ascend, its After School offering; and a six-week Summer School.

EiM co-Founder and Chief Collaboration Officer, Karen Yung, commented: "Our investment in a strategic partnership with School of Humanity is a critical step in our quest to build a portfolio of innovative education brands empowering the next generation of young people with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to make a difference for society and the planet, given the ever-accelerating rate of change. School of Humanity's innovative pedagogy and online-first engagement models are completely aligned with that task and our vision for the future of education."

Founded by education entrepreneur Raya Bidshahri, School of Humanity offers high school learners from around the world the ability to develop the skills, mindsets, and behaviours they need to be ready for the future of work, contribute to collective human progress and flourish in individual life. The online four-year High School, along with its Summer School and After School offerings, centre on interdisciplinary learning pathways focused on global learners solving real-world problems in a collaborative, project-based, and personalized way. The model is based on research from World Economic Forum and OECD.
