A blueprint for how parents can stop worrying about their children’s future and start helping them prepare for it, from the cofounder and CEO of one of America’s most innovative public-school networks

“A treasure trove of deeply practical wisdom that accords with everything I know about how children thrive.”—Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit


In 2003, Diane Tavenner cofounded the first school in what would soon become one of America’s most innovative public-school networks. Summit Public Schools has since won national recognition for its exceptional outcomes: Ninety-nine percent of students are accepted to a four-year college, and they graduate from college at twice the national average.

But in a radical departure from the environments created by the college admissions arms race, Summit students aren’t focused on competing with their classmates for rankings or test scores. Instead, students spend their days solving real-world problems and developing the skills of self-direction, collaboration, and reflection, all of which prepare them to succeed in college, thrive in today’s workplace, and lead a secure and fulfilled life.

Through personal stories and hard-earned lessons from Summit’s exceptional team of educators and diverse students, Tavenner shares the learning philosophies underlying the Summit model and offers a blueprint for any parent who wants to stop worrying about their children’s future—and start helping them prepare for it.

At a time when many students are struggling to regain educational and developmental ground lost to the disruptions of the pandemic, Prepared is more urgent and necessary than ever.

The book is about how the author created the Summit school with a very different approach to education. And it's a good story! I would give the book 5 stars if it would be called "History of the Summit school". 90% of the book is about that, sprinkled with personal stories of encounters with students having complex situations. But I guess few would buy the book "History of the Summit school"? Right, so they needed a better name. How about "What kids need for a fulfilled life"? Wow, much better. Every parent wants a fulfilled life for their kids. But then it needs a different content? Kids don't need the history of the summit school for a fulfilled life.

There is advice in this book on parenting and educating, but it's rare and buried deep in long stories. You really need to sit with a pen and write it down, because there is no structure to when the advice comes, no summary, no takeaway. You need to re-read multiple times and distill it down. And then you find that much of the advice is something that you need years to make right, and you need people to apply it daily at your child's school. I think it would be much better to write two books - one for teachers, and one for parents. And focus specifically on what each can do.
