Today’s conversation is with Mimosa Jones Tunney. Mimosa, founder & president of the American Emergent Curriculum (AEC) and The School House, is a former political speech and Hollywood television writer, seasoned entrepreneur, and avid philanthropist who has left an indelible mark on both the entertainment and education sectors. Her early successes in television, penning scripts for Oprah and HBO, and collaborating with industry giants like Aaron Sorkin, eventually led her down the path of researching American education for a project.
Delving into the forgotten collaboration between S.S. McClure and Dr. Maria Montessori to reform American education, Tunney recognized the education system had been untouched for nearly 100 years and there was a dire need for innovation.
Drawing from her background in policy, Mimosa Jones Tunney set out to revolutionize education by founding and developing the American Emergent Curriculum (AEC), groundbreaking curriculum leveraging the science of human learning through proven pedagogical research. The curriculum has been implemented through a NY-based brick-and-mortar school called The School House and an online program called, TSH Anywhere, which has shown to successfully resolve all the current education system’s issues.
