Our Culture
“At The Culture Lab, we believe culture isn’t an afterthought, it’s the foundation of everything. We exist to solve a critical problem facing many independently run charter and private schools: under-resourced, low-engagement learning environments where students feel disconnected, educators are overwhelmed, and communities are under-leveraged.
That’s not just unfortunate, it’s unsustainable. We partner with bold leaders to rewrite that story and transform schools into thriving ecosystems where students love to learn, educators lead with purpose, and communities become active partners in student success. We don’t just talk about culture, we design it, build it, measure it, and help schools live it out loud.” - Kyle S. King, Founder
Our Purpose
To transform under-resourced, low-engagement schools into high-performance, high-purpose ecosystems, where culture is not a barrier, but a bridge to academic excellence, equity, and long-term impact.
Our Vision
A national network of charter and private schools where:
Culture is clear, contagious, and aligned with mission
Every student is seen, supported, and thriving
Educators feel equipped, empowered, and energized
Families and communities aren’t just welcome—they’re essential
We envision schools as living systems, fueled by leadership, belonging, and bold vision.
