Fount of Education InternationalA shared belief
A shared belief
in what people can build.
FEDU was founded in 2020 by a multicultural team with a vision of quality, equitable, and holistic education for all.
Our purposeEducation across
Education across
a lifetime.
A child learns to read and imagine. A young person practices skills and develops an idea. A family finds support through a difficult season. A community comes together around a shared need.
FEDU's four programs respond to these different stages and circumstances. The work connects learning to daily life, with room for people to take responsibility and shape their next steps.
