Why EDU: 202

EDU: 202 was founded on a simple conviction. The strongest predictor of student success isn't any single program or policy. It's the quality of the partnerships surrounding a student. Local connections and global networks, built intentionally, open opportunities for students.

Founder Maggie Fischer brings over 20 years of experience building exactly those connections, from classroom to administration and across borders.

With a background spanning ESL instruction, international student recruitment, bilingual education, and school leadership, EDU: 202 bridges the gap between local communities and global families, always with student success at the center.
