It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our esteemed colleague, CEO, and co-founder, Frank Hardart.

Frank was not just a leader; he was a friend who cared deeply about his fellow team members and our work together. Frank was someone who lived Educate’s values wholeheartedly both in and out of the office. His dedication to our vision of "creating sustainable change and transformation in classrooms" was evident in every aspect of his work. Over the 24 years of his leadership, Frank's impact reached hundreds of schools, school leaders, and thousands of teachers and students.

We invite you to honor Frank’s memory with us by living out his profound sense of conscience, bringing people together to always do what is right and disrupting the status quo of education to ensure that all individuals receive the meaningful education they deserve.
