Happy Birthday Emily! 🥳

We were founded by education pioneer Emily Griffith, who envisaged a school where anyone, no matter their age or background, could get the education they needed to live a more “useful” life. She wanted to call this dream school, “Opportunity.” 💚💙

Inspired by the parents of the children she taught early in her career, many who couldn’t speak English or read or write, Emily came to believe that education offered a pathway out of poverty.

A place where more than 2 million people have benefitted from Emily’s progressive idea that education should be accessible to all. 

Thank you Emily! Everyone join us in celebrating, Emily Griffith💚
