What is The Learning Underground?

The Learning Underground (TLU) is a partner in data-informed, innovative change navigation.
Technically, we're a consulting company, but we're much more than that.

Education exists, in part, through a complex set of systems that ensure longevity, continuity, and value for students.

However, these same systems can also limit change, making our institutions slow to react and even immune to innovation.

By partnering with educational institutions, The Learning Underground allows rapid and effective change without the systemic red tape that sometimes prevents us from acting when quick responses have a much greater impact.

London's Undergraound The very first underground, London's Metropolitan Railroad, was built in 1863 to ease surface traffic and congestion. The existing systems were unable to scale and respond to the evolving need, so the Underground was created to augment the existing sytems, working alongside (or under) them to get things done without having to wait for the existing systems to respond in their time. TLU works with institutions in the same way, helping them evolve at the speed of the world, working around the limitations that hold us back.
