Our Mission

At Once Upon a Standard, we believe every science standard has a story waiting to be told.

Our mission is to ignite curiosity, deepen understanding, and bring science to life through powerful, true storytelling. By blending real-world events, memorable characters, and standards-aligned content, we help teachers transform lessons into experiences students will never forget.

We create engaging, NGSS-aligned science stories that:

• Hook students from the very first slide

• Build scientific understanding through narrative

• Reinforce core ideas with hands-on activities and discussion

• Empower Teachers as Storytellers

Whether you're in a traditional classroom, a homeschool setting, or a STEM enrichment program, Once Upon a Standard is here to help you inspire the next generation of thinkers, doers, and dreamers—one story at a time.

Because science isn't just a list of facts…
It's a world of wonder, waiting to be discovered.
