# Remix Academics

> Remix Academics is a Learning OS for families educating their kids outside the default school system. The tent is wide: Black, Brown, white, and mixed families; neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, disabled, immigrant, and faith-minority families; homeschoolers, hybrid families, microschool and co-op families. The through-line is the posture of building outside the default, not any single identity. SEAT Squad is the specific Black-led arm of the work. Mixtape360 is the flagship learning system. The Remix Report is the signal desk. Tendi is the warm guide who keeps it human.

Founded by Chris Linder, former Warner Media Agile TPM, classroom teacher, radio DJ, and author of *Homeschool Remix*. Based in Cobb County, Georgia. Serving families across the United States and abroad.
