How do graduates from different school sectors fare in life? Can we draw out any lessons for education leaders from new data on graduate outcomes? What insight does new research on homeschooling outcomes provide in understanding this diverse sector?

Drawing on our recent US-based Cardus Education Survey results, resident experts Dr. Lynn Swaner (Cardus President, US), Dr. Albert Cheng (University of Arkansas and Cardus Senior Fellow), and Dr. Jon Eckert (Baylor University and Cardus Senior Fellow) will unpack lessons for education leaders and policymakers.

From this nationally representative sample of 2,350 respondents, graduates “speak” across a range of academic, spiritual, cultural, civic, and relational outcomes, telling us how schooling has shaped their lives in powerful ways. Graduate outcomes matter: they are a window into the health of our most formative institutions. Join our authors in considering how these results can point us toward building systems of education that better support the flourishing of students, educators, and schools across all school sectors.
