Our learning system is mastery-based, which allows students to master key concepts at a pace that’s right for them before moving on to more challenging content.

These learners include both independent learners accessing us at home, and teacher-directed learners in schools.  Our focus is to reach the underserved by making our content accessible in local languages and by working with large public school systems.

ABOUT THE INDIA CONTENT  TEAM Our content team in India includes content creators who make thousands of awesome videos, articles, and practice questions aligned with the Indian curriculum to help both teachers and students. We are actively working on content localization in other regional languages as well, which means the content we co-create reaches a wider number (both nationally and globally), thereby quintupling the impact.
