The School Systems Remix: Building Democratic School Systems Through Hip-Hop

4 Learning is the sister nonprofit to the High School for Recording Arts, a public charter school in St. Paul, Minnesota, that has been working to reengage out-of-school youth through the recording arts and other creative endeavors since 1998. The school serves roughly 350 students each year through a personalized, project-based approach to instruction that centers student identities, social justice, entrepreneurship, and production through the recording arts. 4 Learning was founded in 2019 to serve schools and districts across the country and around the world in implementing best practices for democratic schooling honed and codified at the High School for Recording Arts over the course of the last 25 years.
