In a classroom full of students who don't particularly want to be there, teachers face a reluctant, captive audience who are starved for the opportunity to escape the load that a modern college prep curriculum requires. In this environment, the slightest interruption, the smallest hiccup can lose an hour, a day of normally hard-won work.

We strive against this instantaneous critical fail by seeking "dial tone" level service for technology in education. Teachers, and students, deserve nothing less than "It just works," every time.

We innovate against the urge to stray by driving the desire to learn with new tools, leading edge technology, dynamic and flexible lessons in a student focused curriculum. We flip the classroom. We bring the toys and model new ways. We let students create and build using anything and everything they can get their hands on.

We push for the reinvention of the learning process wherever we can and support it with a robust and expansive infrastructure that not only allows, but encourages creativity and growth in both our students and our teachers.
