Erika Donalds, founder of OptimaEd and a leading advocate for school choice, is rethinking what education can look like in the modern era. After seeing firsthand that traditional schooling was not the right fit for her children, Donalds built a network of charter schools and launched the world's first virtual reality K-12 curriculum. Today, her programs serve thousands of students across 17 states and several international locations, combining classical education principles with cutting-edge technology. From virtual reality field trips through ancient Rome and the moon landing to mastery-based learning and hybrid school models, Donalds explains how innovation and entrepreneurship can create more personalized educational experiences for students. She also shares how her background as a CFO and CPA helped her secure funding, scale operations, and turn an idea into a national movement.
