In 2009, IAF created its Center for Education and Learning Development. Building on IAF's long track record of successful work in the future of education, the Center aspires to be a positive and challenging force for improving education systems, methods and outcomes to meet the needs of next generation global citizens.

In its formative years, the IAF Center will seek to:

1. Develop a model curriculum on futures studies and methods (futurology) for application in middle and high schools

2. Prepare scenarios for 2025, 2050 and 2075 to provide education leaders and reformers with a better understanding of the global context defining future needs, opportunities and challenges

3. Establish an on-line resource to access the most innovative education and learning experiments and programs, including those that have not had success.

4. Establish a membership program (social network) for students, faculty and parents who wish to track and contribute to educational and learning developments globally

5. Become a resource for government agencies and foundations that allocate funds and establish public policy for education reform, improvement and measurement

6. Provide a focal point of exchange concerning the learning and education implications of research findings concerning the brain, man-machine (body-mind) integration, and future applications of knowledge and experience emanating from such sources and Campbell’s work on mythology and Murphy’s work on extraordinary human capacity.

7. Collaborating with and serving as a resource for the Project 2026 Program of La Jolla Country Day School: a model for continuous transformation of successful traditional schools into comprehensive 21st Century learning systems and networks.

8. Initiating a scan program to identify potential contributions to learning and education from developments in global enterprise, economic system reform, new models of civil society, environmental stewardship, opportunity disparities, population shifts (aging, new baby boom, the education-health–poverty link)

9. Seeking partnerships with leading education institutions, business and labour, government (all levels), relevant research communities, military systems, peace institutions, other futures organizations.
