"Being human isn't about what we achieve — it's about what we remember. Every memory we build is proof that we were truly alive."
— Solongo Batsuuri
A question I keep asking
We built banks for money. Insurance for things. Vaults for gold. But I kept wondering — who's protecting the things that actually matter? — the sound of your grandmother's voice, the letter your father never sent, the dream you whispered to yourself at seventeen. That question is where all of my work begins.
The world measures
"What do you own?"
I keep asking
"What makes you human?"
What I believe
These are the things I keep coming back to — in my work, in my classrooms, in the quiet moments. They're not a framework or a theory. They're just what I've noticed matters most.
01
We protect our money in banks. We insure our cars and homes. But the single most irreplaceable thing we own — our memories — we leave completely unguarded. I believe a society that doesn't protect its memories will eventually forget what matters.
02
Not ambitions. Not career goals. The quiet, private images of the life you actually want — the ones you're almost afraid to say out loud. My work starts by asking every student, every parent, every teacher: what do you dream about when no one is watching?
03
Not networking. Not followers. The kind of bond where someone sits down, looks you in the eye, and says: tell me your story. I try to build spaces — schools, programmes, communities — where this happens every day, not as a special event, but as the default.
04
The first classroom. The place where you learn what love sounds like, what safety feels like, what belonging means before you have a word for it. That's why the Life Tree curriculum is built on a 33:33:33 model — child, teacher, parent — because education without family is incomplete.
05
The whole, messy, beautiful sum of it all. I named my school "Human" because I felt it was the one subject we stopped teaching. Not productivity. Not optimisation. Just humanness — the willingness to be vulnerable, to wonder, to care about things that can't be measured.
"I named my school 'Human' because that's the one subject we stopped teaching. And I'm building a Memories Bank because that's the one thing we forgot to protect."
— Solongo Batsuuri
Where this philosophy lives
Four ventures, one thread running through all of them. Each one exists because I saw something missing and couldn't stop thinking about it.
HIS
Our K-12 school in Ulaanbaatar. We combine the Mongolian national curriculum with IB and our own ELF life-preparation philosophy — delivering world-class education as a social enterprise, because the best education shouldn't only be for the few.
students across our ecosystem
LT · ELF
Mongolia's first social enterprise in education. Life Tree is our pre-school programme — built on a 33:33:33 model where child, teacher, and parent share equal responsibility. It now runs from early childhood through high school.
state kindergartens
CC
One-on-one, deeply personal. I help students figure out not just where to apply, but who they are. Graduates have been placed at Harvard, MIT, Yale, and Columbia.
MB
The next chapter — a physical and digital space where people can store what money can't replace. Letters, voice memos, photographs, stories.
I'd love to hear from you
Whether you're an educator, a parent, a dreamer, or just someone who thinks about what it means to be human — I'd genuinely love to hear from you.
