An Incubator is a mentored, structured pathway to help new ideas and approaches emerge with the best possibility of coming to life. It is common in the business world, but less so in Education. For the first time, aspiring school planters can obtain expert advice, develop their plans and visions in a supportive environment, and connect to support, expertise, and resources.
