Our Approach
We personalize each student's learning plan. Our courses are led by qualified teachers and foster connection and community between students and teachers. Students can work on their courses any time during the day or evening, as long as they meet the deadlines and due dates set by their course instructors.
Students complete individual assignments as well as collaborative activities such as group projects and class discussions. Teachers are actively involved in class discussions and work with students individually.
