“This year our son has had the opportunity to participate in the Citizens of the World 3rd grade classroom at Operation Breakthrough. It has quite honestly changed his life. He was struggling in a conventional classroom setting but the hands-on, fully immersive approach to learning offered at Operation Breakthrough has revolutionized his attitude not only toward school and learning as a whole but also toward himself. He is thriving and is genuinely excited about school now. We are SO thankful for the OB team and what they’ve done for our son.”
