Our Philosophy
A new approach to early childhood education
Why I Am Building This School
My wife didn't want homeschooling
I didn't want traditional schooling
So I am building something in between
A curious lab where mistakes are sacred and messes are mandatory
Fumble Academy began as an experiment for my fifteen-month-olds
Now it's a full-blown movement
Where kids learn physics by falling
probability by gambling with snacks
and resilience by laughing at failure
Because every fall is data
and every giggle is research
How It Became a Movement
That's the year I said, "Let's have 4 kids."
But I made a pact with my wife : no inheritance, no shortcuts.
I've always believed money can bring you happiness only when its earned, and inherited comfort is a curse disguised as love.
So instead of passing down wealth, I decided to pass down skills, scars, and a few spectacular failures.
They were born in Silicon Valley, so I registered the first one in Atherton.
But I wanted them to also grow up by the ocean so Kīlauea, Hawai'i got the second one.
And since grandparents claimed rights in Hyderabad, that made it three schools before they could even walk straight.
Registered in Atherton, California because Silicon Valley needed a preschool that could fail better than its startups.
Now our toddlers are bilingual in both metric and imperial face-plants.
Opened in Kīlauea, Hawai'i.
Nothing teaches resilience like tumbling on Hanalei's waves : gently supervised, occasionally applauded.
