Mission:

To transform learning for every student we serve.

Vision:

To become the trusted leader in education innovation.

About Us:

In 1999, we set out to answer a call. It was a call voiced by a growing number of parents whose children's needs were not being met by traditional education models. Their children were bored , left behind by the pace of the traditional classroom, or just getting lost in the shuffle. While traditional brick and mortar schools work for many children, they restrict many others for a variety of reasons.

We have become a leader in providing individually tailored, one-to-one learning solutions to students from kindergarten through high school across the country. These solutions have changed lives and opened up possibilities for many children. Our biggest fans continue to be parents who are seeking to tap into their children's unique potential and who have seen what can happen when children can work at the right pace and with the tools, approaches, and content that make learning come alive.

Beliefs:

...in individualized learning through mass customization instead of mass production of education.

...in decades of scientific research regarding how brains really work and how learning happens.

...that Big Ideas + Consecutive Down Payments + Practice = Mastery.

...that mastery of concepts and skills should be for all kinds of children—not just the "best and brightest."

...in giving parents meaningful ways to be involved in their children's education if they choose.

...in being directly accountable and responsive to all of our customers.

...in outstanding teacher engagement.

...in rich, engaging content that gets kids into learning so learning gets into them.

...that profitability yields invention, responsiveness, and responsibility.

...in using 21st-century tools to prepare 21st-century students.

...in books, digital media, and dirt—because a mix of teaching tools maximizes learning.

...that children should be introduced to humankind's legacies which create our common culture as humans.

... that raw, unyielding passion is our most important quality.
