Catapult Secures Trademark for “Make Education Relevant®”

A Milestone in the Movement for World-Ready Learning

Catapult is excited to announce that we have officially received our trademark for our defining phrase, “Make Education Relevant®”!

This marks a significant step in our mission to transform education into a more meaningful and future-focused experience for all students. It’s more than a legal formality. It’s a confirmation of purpose and a reinforcement of our commitment to reimagining education as a dynamic, relevant, and empowering experience that prepares students not just for tests or degrees, but for life.

Why Relevance Matters Now More Than Ever

The urgency behind Catapult’s mission is underscored by a sobering statistic: Only 26% of U.S. working adults strongly agree that their education is relevant to their work and daily life. This disconnect contributes to disengagement, high dropout rates, and a workforce that’s underprepared for the rapidly evolving demands of the modern world.​

Traditional education models often prioritize outdated metrics, neglecting the development of practical skills and real-world readiness. As a result, many graduates find themselves burdened with debt, uncertain about their career paths, and lacking the competencies needed to thrive in today's economy.

The Vision: Make Education Relevant®

Catapult’s vision for relevant education is centered on three core principles:

1. Real-World Integration: The boundaries between the classroom and the real world are blurred through strong community partnerships

2. Valuing All Learning: Recognizing diverse learning experiences as valuable for promoting economic mobility 

3. Tailored Education: Learning is customized to allow individuals to become the best version of themselves

This approach shifts the focus from traditional academic metrics to holistic, personalized measures that consider a student's long-term development, meaningful skills, and experiences beyond the classroom.​

A Movement, Not Just a Motto

Since its launch in 2022, Catapult has empowered thousands of educators. Equipped with masterclasses, live coaching, and a vibrant community of practice, we help transform educators into disruptors who challenge the status quo and drive systemic transformation.​

The trademarking of “Make Education Relevant®” solidifies Catapult’s role as a leader in this movement. It serves as a rallying cry for educators, administrators, and policymakers to reexamine and revitalize the educational system.​

Join the Mission

We at Catapult invite educators and institutions alike to join the mission to make all education relevant. By embracing this vision, we can ensure that every learner is not just college-ready or career-ready, but world-ready.
