Education for the Whole Child: Lenny Learning at Hudson Lab School

Hudson Lab School is thrilled to partner with Lenny Learning, an AI-powered platform that expands educators’ capacity to equip students with durable skills.

At Hudson Lab School, we understand that academic achievement cannot be separated from a child’s emotional and social development. Research shows that HOW children feel about themselves, their relationships, and their capacity to overcome obstacles plays a critical role in their ability to learn. This is why we lean in to making students feel supported, challenged, and inspired. We don’t just prepare our students for the next test or even the next phase of life—we nurture their creativity and develop the skills they’ll need to thrive in a world that is evolving faster than ever before.

With Lenny Learning, our brilliant and creative teachers gain access to research-backed insights and resources that not only enhance their ability to help each child thrive but also free up more time for the meaningful, one-on-one interactions that make a lasting difference.

“As you think about your own learning journey, what moments stand out?” asks Kim Mishkin, Head of School at Hudson Lab School. “It’s rarely about memorizing facts or passing tests. More often, it’s about the experiences that made you feel seen and capable—perhaps a teacher who believed in you or a project that brought out your creativity. At Hudson Lab School, we aim to create those moments every day, and Lenny Learning helps our teachers go even further by giving them the tools to personalize and amplify their lessons to spark curiosity, foster deep understanding, and connect learning to the real world.”

According to Ting Gao, Co-Founder and CEO of Lenny Learning, ““Hudson Lab School’s dedication to project-based learning and social-emotional development aligns perfectly with Lenny Learning’s mission. We create transformative learning experiences that empower students as thinkers, collaborators, and problem-solvers. Together, we’re showing how education can be reimagined to nurture not just academic achievement but lifelong learning.”

We’re particularly excited to explore how Lenny Learning can strengthen the connection between school and home. As our teachers dive deeper into using the platform, we look forward to exploring new ways to empower parents with practical, accessible strategies to support their child’s growth outside the classroom. Whether it’s engaging in simple problem-solving games or fostering a shared curiosity about the world, these tools have the potential to create a more seamless and collaborative approach to learning that benefits every child.

At its core, education is about possibility—the possibility of discovery, growth, and connection. AI tools are changing the landscape of education and Hudson Lab School is thrilled to partner with Lenny Learning to explore how we can better prepare students to meet the challenges of the world, not just as learners but as leaders, collaborators and creators.
