Legacy of Literacy: Excellence in Science, Generosity in Spirit
The Global Authority:
Dr. Keith Rayner (1943–2015) was a titan of cognitive
science whose influence spanned the globe—from his
seminal research at the University of Massachusetts to his
deep ties with the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and
prestigious international accolades. While he reached the
pinnacle of academic recognition, his true north was always
a humble, pious commitment to the service of others.”
The Community Rebalance:
Jon Rayner, President of SDSL, seeks to foster a community
where health, literacy, and science-backed wisdom are not
luxuries, but foundations for every citizen. Driven by the
same heart and disciplined systems-thinking as his father,
Jon has cultivated SDSL as an incubator for transformative
social impact, ensuring that elite-level cognitive tools are
accessible to the neighborhoods of and communities at-large in San Diego County.

The Partnership of Fate:
In a unique convergence of fate, Jon has reconnected with
lifelong friend and interdisciplinary educator, Fletcher Poret.
Reclaiming a shared childhood bond of trust from Amherst,
MA, Fletcher was invited to work & draw inspiration within
Dr. Rayner’s personal library. This partnership combines
Jon’s strategic leadership with Fletcher’s 20 years of
bespoke, non-linear teaching. Together, they offer a
continuation of Dr. Keith Rayner’s first principles learning: a
curriculum that prioritizes literacy, durable skills, autonomy,
and the preservation of wonder to nurture wisdom and
combat social cognitive dissonance.
