AboutBuilt by School in a Backpack.
School in a Backpack has brought courage-first learning to families, schools and communities in the US and the Philippines since 2014. We built MyKuboCo so every field trip counts.
Our story
Joahna Tupas founded School in a Backpack in 2014. She works with parents and educators as a speaker, author and coach in experiential learning and character education.
MyKuboCo helps families find real-world learning experiences and keep a record of what a child learned there. School in a Backpack is its first partner.
Honest credit
Organizers produce evidence.
An assessment records what a student demonstrated. It is never a grade or a credit on its own.
Families and schools decide credit.
A parent or an accredited partner school records credit separately, with the evidence attached.
Parents hold every account.
Children never sign up themselves. We collect a first name and a grade level, nothing more.
