"The current educational system in the United States, once the envy of the world, was developed a century ago during the rise of the industrial age. Since then, the world economy has transformed profoundly yet the American education system has not. Schools are attempting to teach and test skills that leave graduates woefully unprepared for the 21st century. After presenting this problem, the documentary focuses on the story of a school that is completely rethinking its purpose and function. After following students, parents and teachers through an unorthodox school experience, the audience is forced to consider the type of educational environment that is Most Likely to Succeed in the 21st century."

"Beyond Measure follows a new vanguard of educators across the country who are pioneering a fresh vision for American schools. Pulling from expert research in education, child development, and cognitive and neuroscience, these leaders are creating a new type of classroom. They're leading schools that direct our focus away from homework, prizes, top grades and test scores, making room for curiosity, engagement, creativity, collaboration and independent thinking. By putting innovative models into practice, these educators are finding inspiration in doing things differently - and changing how and what we teach."
