Instructional Connections

Personalized learning to help every student grow

We collaborate with the industry’s top instructional partners to help schools and districts get more from the tools they are already using. We vet our instructional partners to ensure content quality, support of diverse student populations, alignment to standards, and engagement across multiple modes of learning.

Featured partners
