The mark

Many pieces, one grid.

Our mark is built the way we want children to learn: from simple pieces that fit together, until something new appears.

The found pieceThe Q is a ring in four quarters. The amber quarter is the missing piece, found. Research finds the missing piece.
One gridEvery shape in the mark sits on one grid, and every curve has the same radius, like blocks that always fit together.
The waveAfter the Q comes a wave of blocks, joined without seams: many pieces that make one thing.
