Who we are...
Elevate K-12 is an EdTech company.
We are on a mission to enable high-quality, live teaching for every learner in the United States, from kindergarten through their first jobs, so they receive the education they need to identify and pursue their unique passions in life.
We are changing the way classrooms work by creating a brand-new category of LIVE, virtual classroom instruction that gives students access to exceptional, certified, live teachers.
Using our proprietary technology, our teachers are livestreamed from across the country into thousands of classrooms, providing instruction that would otherwise be unavailable in many districts across the US.
About Elevate K-12 LIVE teaching...
It is just like a regular class, except it is LIVE.
We livestream U.S. certified teachers who are teaching remotely into public school classrooms across the country (the students are not remote or homeschooled).
When students head into a live classroom, they will feel like it is a regular school day – teachers asking questions, students raising their hands, all made possible by our technology and teachers.
Elevate LIVE teaching was built to act, look, feel, and sound like every other classroom.
Every classroom has a Classroom Coach – the adult in the room to help with classroom management, keeping kids on task, and partnering together with the teacher.
Our technology platform was built for K-12 students to facilitate effective, engaging instruction.
We also have a 24/7 support network for teachers and schools if issues arise.
