Through the Microsoft U.S. Partners in Learning program, we are investing our resources—people, partnerships, services, philanthropy, and products—to stimulate positive change in education.

We want to help develop individuals and academic organizations to support 21st-century learning, digital inclusion, and education reform. Our projects all aim to:

Because we believe that successfully creating and transforming learning communities can only be done through partnership, we work closely with educators, schools, school districts, state departments of education, and other organizations to create diverse projects that can serve as models for the future.

Our most ambitious partnership to date is with the School District of Philadelphia. Together, we planned and built a 750-student high school that embodies innovation and technology. This unique school, dubbed The School of the Future, opened in 2006 and serves as a model of 21st-century learning. You can access the many tools and resources that have been created to help your school or district replicate relevant components of the model.
