The Stanford Accelerator for Learning is a key part of Stanford’s vision to accelerate solutions for the betterment of humanity. **Vision** **We envision a world where innovation drives effective and joyful learning for all.** **Mission** **We ignite the Stanford community and partners to drive breakthroughs in the brain and learning sciences, data, and technology towards a new generation of research-driven innovations that advance learning for individuals, societies, and the world.** **Why learning** **We dedicate a tremendous percentage of our lives to learning.** Learning is correlated with most every positive life outcome – from better health and higher incomes to deeper community engagement. Societies that invest in learning benefit from lower crime rates and more stable governments, and experience more prosperity.

Learning must be central to any plan to improve people’s lives.
