The Co-Founders have over 25 years of experience in online learning, homeschooling, K-12, STEM learning, post-secondary education, and educational research and evaluation. They successfully provided online home education to their three children, graduating each of them from high school at the age of 16.
Two of their children earned merit-based scholarships to college and graduated in four years with honors.
Their oldest daughter is married and working for a cybersecurity company in the marketing division. After working for one of Silicon Valley's top 3 tech companies for 3 years, their son is approaching A.B.D. status while on a full-tuition paid fellowship in a PhD program in the University of California system.
Their youngest daughter, who also earned several merit-based scholarships, is completing her undergraduate studies with a 4.0 GPA at an HBCU.
