Powered by partnership with top thinkers and institutions

Grounded in ASU’s innovative teaching methods, this transformational high school model is a partnership between ASU Prep Academy and The Levitt Lab.

The Levitt Lab was created by Steve Levitt, a renowned economist, best-selling author of Freakonomics, founder of the Center for RISC at the University of Chicago and a data-driven problem solver who has spent his career challenging conventional wisdom.

Together, this partnership expands a commitment to personalized learning, building on a shared belief that education should ignite passion and unlock student potential.
