And after hundreds of conversations with teenagers and teachers and parents and employers and schools from Paraguay to Australia, and looking at some of the academic research, which showed the importance of what's now called non-cognitive skills — the skills of motivation, resilience — and that these are as important as the cognitive skills — formal academic skills — we came up with an answer, a very simple answer in a way, which we called the Studio School.
Y luego de cientos de charlas con adolescentes, docentes, padres, empresarios y escuelas, desde Paraguay hasta Australia, y viendo alguna de las investigaciones académicas que mostraban la importancia de lo que ahora llaman "habilidades no cognitivas", como la motivación y la resiliencia, y que éstas son tan importantes como las habilidades académicas formales, llegamos a una respuesta, muy simple en cierto modo, y la llamamos Escuelas Studio.
