About Waypoints Foundation
Waypoints Foundation is a charitable organization devoted to one clear purpose: helping schools, districts, and teachers gain access to the Waypoints platform when adequate funding is not available.
Expand access to serious, primary source-based education.
The mission of Waypoints Foundation is to expand access to serious, primary source-based education by helping qualified schools and teachers obtain Waypoints.
A platform for primary sources and deep teacher tutorials.
Waypoints is an online educational platform built around beautifully published primary source documents and in-depth graduate-level tutorials for teachers. It is designed for educators who want to deepen their own knowledge, strengthen their instruction, and lead students into direct engagement with pivotal historic texts and enduring ideas.
It is meant to enrich and elevate existing instruction, not replace it.
Teaching well requires knowledge, judgment, and serious reading.
Good teaching requires more than shortcuts, politically-fashionable slogans, and hurried summaries. It requires knowledge, judgment, and meaningful encounter with the most important ideas penned by the greatest minds.
Waypoints Foundation exists because many teachers and schools want to teach in that spirit but face real financial limitations. The Foundation helps narrow that gap by providing support where it can make a lasting difference.
Waypoints Foundation serves:
- Individual educators seeking stronger resources for their own instruction
- Schools seeking to enrich classroom teaching through direct engagement with primary sources
- Districts seeking broader access to serious educational materials and teacher support
