History

The Curriculum honors the life of Max Warburg, a courageous 11 year old who died of leukemia in 1991. Max’s ability to continue to enjoy life and his unwavering optimism in the face of a deadly disease were an inspiration to all who knew him. Feeling that their son's story would resonate with other children his age, Stephanie and Jonathan Warburg worked with the Boston Public Schools, a team of doctoral students from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and educators from across the country to develop The Max Warburg Courage Curriculum.
