Ross Institute

Courtney Sale Ross and her late husband Steven J. Ross, the co-chairman of Time Warner, founded the Ross Institute for Advanced Study and Innovation in Education in 1996. The Ross Institute is a non-profit organization that was established to promote understanding of the implications of globalization for pre-collegiate public education. The Ross Institute brings together leading scholars, educators and policy-makers in support of innovative research and practices in global education. Ross Institute also actively fundraises to support Ross Institute projects such as Ross School. Ross Institute engages in basic research, evaluation and dissemination in the following areas:

• Globalization and Education
• Interdisciplinary Curriculum for Intercultural Understanding
• Scaling Up and Diffusion
• Mind, Brain, and Education
• Media, Communication and Technology Education
• Well-being and Nutrition
• Engaging Immigrant and English Language Learners

In 2004, Ross Institute founded the Ross Institute Consortium, a network of universities that work together in support of innovative education. The Ross Institute Consortium works to redefine the space between pre-collegiate and tertiary education and to establish partnerships in support of developing public schools.

As part of the Ross Institute, Courtney Sale Ross established the Ross Institute Academy, which offers educators comprehensive training in the Ross model. The founding mission of the Ross model is to positively affect international, immigrant and inner-city student populations, thereby increasing possibilities for systemic change. The Ross Institute Academy distributes information about the Ross curriculum and best educational practices through Ross Networks schools, workshops, conferences, on-line mentoring and other collaborations.
