How a Village Graduate Turned IB Excellence into AI Innovation in Silicon Valley
Business, Economics & Entrepreneurship students at The Village School had the unique opportunity to hear from a distinguished alumnus who has taken the tech world by storm. A ‘lifer’ at Village, Divyesh Khatri went on to Stanford University before co-founding a successful AI startup, Twine. Instead of taking a traditional internship in his final summer, he and his business partner took a leap of faith—launching a company that would eventually earn funding from Y Combinator, the famed startup accelerator behind Airbnb and Instacart. During his talk, Divyesh shared how The Village School prepared him for the challenges of  launching a company, the importance of resilience in the startup world, and why learning to sell—yourself, your ideas and your product—is the most valuable skill of all.

Education Beyond the Classroom
To truly prepare students for the future, educators must also equip them with the practical skills necessary for independent living. Financial literacy, self-care, home maintenance, and responsible decision-making are just as critical as core academic subjects. A well-rounded education should seamlessly integrate both academic excellence and real-world preparedness, ensuring that students graduate with the knowledge, confidence, and resilience needed to succeed in all aspects of life.

Why Mattering Matters
Researchers and educators know about the importance of belonging, of feeling like we’re part of a larger group that values, respects and cares for us. But mattering goes deeper.  Mattering is mutual and creates a virtuous spiral: when we feel valued, we tend to value others.
