Entitled Learning’s vision is for all scholars to learn for themselves, believe in themselves, and to achieve for themselves!

Vision

Mission

Entitled Learning is committed to closing the educational gap through capstone-based learning that merges hands-on experiences with real-world career exploration. This approach combines academics and innovation to spark curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.

About Entitled Learning

Traditional education often treats learning as a checklist — a series of tasks to complete, grades to earn, and standards to meet. But for many historically underserved scholars, this model fails to nurture identity, agency, and purpose. At Entitled Learning, we believe education should be more than routine — it should be a journey of self-discovery, cultural awareness, and empowerment.

Reimagining Education for Historically Underserved Scholars

Research shows that scholars from historically underserved communities are disproportionately impacted by systemic barriers in education — from biased assessments to underrepresentation in curriculum. These barriers contribute to lower engagement, achievement gaps, and a diminished sense of belonging.

Entitled Learning was founded to disrupt this cycle. We center historically underserved scholars in every aspect of learning — not just as participants, but as creators, leaders, and thinkers.

Why We Exist

Our Capstone Experience

Our capstone experiences are designed to:

  • Connect learning to lived experience: Scholars explore their communities, histories, and identities through inquiry-based projects.

  • Foster critical consciousness: Students learn to question systems, challenge norms, and envision change.

  • Promote self-knowledge: We guide scholars to understand who they are, what they value, and how they learn best.

This is not just education — it’s transformation.

Entitled Learning Capstone Framework

  1. Industry Exposure

Students explore a real-world industry.

2. Inquiry & Research

Scholars dive into industry topics by asking questions and investigating real-world challenges.

3. Skill Building

Hands-on learning strengthens academic and technical skills tied to the industry capstone.

4. Professional Mentorship

Students work alongside professionals who guide, mentor, and inspire them throughout the process.

5. Community Connection

Students connect to their identity and community impact.

6. Role-Based Learning

Students take on an industry career role to apply what they’ve learned.

7. Capstone Showcase & Reflection

Students present their capstone work publicly, then reflect on their growth and set future goals.
