Kearney brings Catholic mission to life
Bishop Kearney High School
has partnered with Basecamp
School for the implementation
of the STEM Wing into its curriculum.
Basecamp School exists to help
schools deepen their mission through
innovation. Christian Talbot, founder
of Basecamp School, has been working
with Kearney faculty since the spring.
Recently, Bishop Kearney was profiled
on the Basecamp blog. Below are
excerpts:
“In the age of exponential change
and entrenched competition, how
does a traditional, all-girls Catholic
school in a working class section of
Brooklyn find a way forward? One
often overlooked innovation strategy–
leapfrogging. They are in the midst
of leapfrogging to a FabLab/ Virtual
Reality Lab with an emphasis on life
sciences.
“Very few schools have VR labs, but
even the ones that do struggle with
using them to design meaningful
learning. The absence of mission-driven
learning results, once again, in a
commoditized facilities upgrade.
“By contrast, the innovation that
Kearney is offering—a Catholic
education for an age of exponential

change—cannot be commodified. By
starting with Mission, Kearney has
provided the fuel for their innovation
journey. And by focusing on Vision,
they have identified a North Star….As
their Culture continues to align with
that Vision, they will find themselves
completing their leapfrog moment.”
