Education doesn't have to be this way

Something about college is broken.

It turns us into box checkers, hoop jumpers, and ladder climbers.

But the world needs creators.

We need new communities to save our mental health, new movements and innovations to save our planet, and new companies to improve life for more people.

We were born creators. We played in sand, built with blocks and dreamed of becoming writers, artists and inventors.

Our mission: No more hoops, no more boxes.

It was school that changed us into educational athletes — running, ducking and jumping at just the right times in the pursuit of grades.

At Sandbox, we refuse to accept this. We're relentless about working within the system so you can earn a fully accredited degree, yet uncompromising in our pursuit of education that genuinely inspires.
