Values

Six commitments we hold ourselves to

They are not wall decoration. They decide which programmes we take on and how we run them.

Excellence

We hold the highest standards of quality in every learning resource and programme we put our name on.

Innovation

We look for new and creative approaches to education: the ones that actually engage the people learning.

Artistic expression

Art is not decoration. It is a vital part of personal and social enrichment, and we make room for it.

Inclusivity

Diverse perspectives make better education. We build opportunities that cross borders and backgrounds.

Impact

We measure ourselves by lasting change in people, industries and communities, not by activity.

Collaboration

We actively seek partners, whether people, organisations or communities, to extend what education can reach.

History

From a fifty-year legacy to a foundation of its own

Founded in January 2016, the Humboldt Group Foundation draws its inspiration from the enduring legacy of the Humboldt Group, an educational pioneer for over fifty years. Evolving from those founding principles, our history is a narrative of commitment to education and a recognition of the profound impact it can have in shaping a compassionate and socially aware world.

Since our inception we have embraced innovation as a driving force, consistently striving to unlock the transformative potential that arises from education. As we move forward, our dedication remains anchored in the fusion of education, innovation and art to effect positive change and propel social improvement.

  • Founded in January 2016 in Miami, Florida.
  • Built on more than fifty years of Humboldt Group educational work.
  • Education, innovation and art treated as one continuous mission.
