XQ Institute is an Oakland, California-based nonprofit organization.[2] It describes itself as the nation’s leading organization dedicated to rethinking high school, because "our young people are growing up at a time when the economy, the workforce, and the environment are changing rapidly. And high schools must respond."
The institute began with XQ: The Super School Project, to identify new ideas to reform schools and improve student performance.[3][4]
The organization was founded in September 2015 by Laurene Powell Jobs and Russlynn Ali.[3] XQ Institute's Board includes Marc Ecko, Yo-Yo Ma, Geoffrey Canada, Jimmy Iovine, and Michael Klein.
