SchoolSims provides simulation-based experiential learning for K–12 professional development and higher education curricula. Through engaging, choose-your-own-adventure simulations, learners navigate realistic scenarios, make critical decisions, and experience the impact of their choices. Personalized AI-powered coaching then helps learners reflect on their performance, connect theory to practice, and identify actionable opportunities for growth. Click below to try a simulation.
Higher Education Aspiring teachers, counselors, and school leaders, plus all students preparing to enter the workforce seeking to practice real-world decision-making
K–12 Districts Teachers and school leaders building instructional and leadership capacity and CTE/workforce programs
Independent & Boarding Schools Faculty and leaders navigating complex school environments
Career and Workforce Development Programs Faculty seeking to prepare students for their next step
SchoolSims provides interactive simulations that help educators, leaders, and workforce learners practice real-world decision-making. Used across preparation, coaching, professional learning, and workforce development, our online simulations support in-person and remote settings while building critical thinking, reflection, and professional confidence.
Use SchoolSims year-round for professional development, coaching, mentoring, induction, and coursework. Our simulations support K–12 educators and leaders as well as higher education faculty and candidates—providing guided, experiential learning that strengthens decision-making and practice.
SchoolSims uses interactive, educator-created simulations to help learners practice real-world decisions in a risk-free environment. Participants engage with authentic scenarios, receive feedback, and reflect on their choices—individually or with a coach or mentor. Built-in data and insights support professional growth, program evaluation, and continuous improvement.
This is the beginning of a new chapter in simulation-based learning. Not because artificial intelligence changes how people learn, but because it has the potential to ensure that every meaningful practice experience is followed by an equally meaningful coaching conversation.
We cannot remove uncertainty from the work of education. But we can do more to ensure that the first time educators face consequential moments, it is not the first time they have had to think their way through them. That is where grounded hope begins: not in reassurance, but in practiced capability.
We’ve generally been good at two things: providing theory and leveraging on-the-job experience. What’s been less developed is the space between them – structured opportunities to practice before the stakes are real. This is where the alignment between the science of learning and current conditions in schools becomes more practical.
