Impact in the World

Education is the single most important ingredient for a successful society. Why? Education affords children and adults the opportunity to reach their potential as learners and thereby become productive, proud citizens.

Harvard University has long understood the central role of education for producing caring communities and vibrant economies. Since 1920, the Harvard Graduate School of Education has been Harvard's headquarters for education enterprise. At HGSE, our mission is to prepare future leaders who will have a profound impact on education practice, policy, and research.

Each day--in classrooms and boardrooms, in small community organizations and in the halls of Congress, from small one-room schoolhouses to the largest educational institutions in the world--the Harvard Graduate School of Education makes a difference. Our faculty, graduates, and students have accepted the challenge of changing the world.

In addition to the work of individual members of the HGSE community, the Ed School leverages its strengths through its research centers, collaborations within the larger Harvard community, and relationships with school districts around the world.
