Kristi Maggio is an "EDUpreneur" working to create, shape, and impact the next generation of success stories. With over 20 years of experience in the education industry, Kristi has witnessed many children struggle and feel inadequate due to not fitting into the traditional ways of learning. When she realized she couldn't make significant change from within the system, she started creating her own. Determined to make a difference, she founded Maggio Multicultural Academy in 2016, which has since been awarded US accreditation through Cognia. Now any student from anywhere in the world can study through the academy to receive a US high school diploma. Her mission is to impact the lives of 1 billion youth in the next 10 years, create satellite locations around the world, and develop an educational program based on entrepreneurship and applied learning.
