Pharrell Williams will be opening small private schools for low-income families. The singer recently established YELLOWHAB<\/strong><\/a>, a “network of micro schools” that will start with a location in Norfolk, Virginia.\u00a0 The schools will serve elementary-aged children in an all-day educational program.<\/p>\n

In a press release to The Virginian-Pilot<\/strong><\/a>, the 48-year-old musician stated: \u201cIf the system is fixed and unfair, then it needs to be broken. We don\u2019t want lockstep learning where so many kids fall behind; we want bespoke learning designed for each child, where the things that make a child different are the same things that will make a child rise up and take flight.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to YELLOWHAB\u2019s website, it will focus on creating “an immersive educational environment that sparks imagination in a story-filled space where children transcend the everyday on a journey for deeper learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

The name YELLOWHAB is inspired by Williams’ nonprofit, YELLOW, with \u201chab\u201d coming from the name of the Mars habitat in the movie \u201cThe Martian.\u201d<\/p>\n
