A Welcome Message from Amy McGrath and Sal Khan
Innovative solutions that lead to successful outcomes
We believe that higher education leads to successful outcomes for our students, our community, and our global society. It’s why we’re passionate about developing innovative solutions and programs that set students up for college and career success.
The future of learning offers pathways.
When students have opportunities to get ahead and fast track their learning by earning college credit, they can successfully accelerate their future.
The future of learning is personalized.
Content mastery begins with learning that continuously adapts in real time to meet students where they are, assess what they know, offer customized modalities, and ensure comprehension to guide students toward success.
The future of learning is limitless.
Learning is no longer confined to the classroom. It can happen anywhere, any time, on any device, and in any way that suits a student’s life or learning modality.
The future of learning is real-world.
Curiosity is at the heart of learning. It’s why we use a discovery based approach as a core methodology, using real-world problem-solving and storytelling to bring learning to life.
The future of learning builds community.
Building a better world doesn’t happen alone. From peer-to-peer learning to online support communities, students become a part of their local and global community throughout their learning journey.
