I am delighted to announce that Maya Frost will join Education Futures this week as a guest blogger.

Maya Frost has taught thousands of people how to get calm, clear and creative. Her eyes-wide-open approach to everyday awareness has been featured in over a hundred print and web media outlets worldwide, ranging from Ladies’ Home Journal to MSNBC.com. In 2005, she and her husband sold everything and left the US. The unusual part: they had four teenage daughters at the time. Her book, The New Global Student: Skip the SAT, Save Thousands on Tuition, and Get a Truly International Education, is packed with the lessons they learned (and loopholes they discovered) that ANY US student can use to completely avoid the traditional path to that college degree and blast forward with sizzling 21st century skills, a sparkling college diploma, flaming enthusiasm–and no debt.
