About Us
At scale, we deliver, and support, actual college credit bearing courses from our nation’s top colleges and universities (Howard, Stanford, Wharton, Spelman, Brown and more) into teacher-led high school classrooms in Title 1 underserved schools - at no cost to students. Since starting in 2019, we have served 40,000 scholars from 32 states and more than 150 cities - from Flint; Baton Rouge; and the Navajo nation in Gallup, NM; to LA; Chicago; and NYC. Our results to date have been exciting.
We are a passionate team of former education and civil rights leaders, teachers, policy-wonks, and consultants - with an active board, including, former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, founder of the Children’s Defense Fund, Marian Wright Edelman, University of Pennsylvania Professor Angela Duckworth, CEO of the Common App, Jenny Rickard, and former Howard University President, Dr. Wayne Frederick.
