Jon Cassie

I have been an educator since 1997.

In 2021, I became one of the founders of Qualia: The School for Deeper Learning in Calabasas, California. I collaborate with a creative community of students and faculty committed to educational innovation at the deepest level. I have presented and consulted on school founding, game-based learning, gamified instruction, curriculum design and program development as well as LGBTQIA+ issues in independent schools. My game design work can be found here. I earned Bachelor’s Degrees in History and Classics from University of Massachusetts, a Master’s Degree in History from The Ohio State University and an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership from UCLA.
