Who We Are – Higher Learning K-12

Not all online courses
are created equal

Research shows: Students will most likely perform better within a supportive learning environment. That’s why we put a highly qualified, certified instructor in every teacher-led online course we offer and provide the mentors of our students with a platform that leverages technology to enhance the at-home learning experience.

When you enroll your child in our online program at Higher Learning, they will gain access to numerous benefits and receive dedicated support throughout their entire journey with us.

#1 — Highly-qualified instructors, not just content presenters

We understand the importance of having qualified teachers and personalized feedback for online learning. Many online course providers need this crucial element, leaving students needing more support to succeed.

That’s why we prioritize hiring certified teachers trained in best practices for online instruction. Our teachers provide personalized feedback on assignments, ensuring each student receives the support they need.

This approach leads to better outcomes for our students and sets them up for success in their academic and professional pursuits.

Here's how our instructors help our students succeed:

Our instructors are highly qualified in their subject area; they will help your students master the content of their course.

Our instructors offer students personalized feedback on their assignments; they will help your students harness their strengths and target learning gaps.

Online pedagogy varies significantly from face-to-face pedagogy; our instructors are trained in a rigorous, 4-week course on online pedagogy and receive ongoing professional development throughout the year, which means that your students will receive quality instruction tailored to an online learning environment.

#2 — Trained mentors who track student progress and guide success

Encouraging our instructors to mentor our online students is essential because online learning can be isolating and challenging. With a physical classroom and in-person interaction, students may be able to stay motivated and focused.

Mentors provide emotional, academic, and technical support to ensure students stay on track. They help students set goals, create study plans, and stay organized. They also offer advice on time management and study skills. Mentors can help them thrive in their online courses by fostering a positive relationship with their students.

We offer all of our mentors a myriad of free training opportunities in best practices for mentoring online students. Mentors who prepare for job responsibilities often better serve online learners and facilitate more significant student outcomes.

#3 — Comprehensive course selection

Often, when students turn to online learning, they seek more options. For example, they may want to take an AP course or study a subject not offered in their school. Here at Higher Learning, we are constantly expanding our catalog to meet the needs and captivate our students’ curiosities.

We offer courses and electives for students in grades K-12. Our program is perfect for students needing credit recovery or transfers. We help students who may need to catch up and stay on track with their peers.

We understand that it is essential to have a wide range of courses offered to cater to students’ diverse interests and needs. Our institution is committed to providing a well-rounded education for all students.

#4 — Award winning
& accredited course content

Part of our success lies in using a third party to evaluate our courses to ensure they meet Texas’s merit requirements. As a member of Quality Matters — a non-profit organization and recognized leader in quality assurance for online learning — we have access to:

Excellent course peer review processes, Professional development opportunities, and Standardized rubrics to evaluate and improve the courses we offer to our students. In 2019, we received the Quality Matters Make a Difference for Students Award for Outstanding Impact from a K-12 Organization.

In 2020, we were accredited by AdvancED. This non-profit, non-partisan organization conducts rigorous academic reviews of various educational institutions and systems to ensure that students receive a qualified education. We were subsequently re-accredited in 2021.

#5 — Focus on concept-mastery

When students enroll in one of our courses, we want them to leave the course having mastered the concepts they signed up to learn. Part of the beauty of online courses lies in the flexible nature of learning, which allows students to work at their own pace and wait until concepts are mastered before moving on to the next lesson.

We emphasize quality and comprehension in every single course that we offer. By breaking down subject matter into core concepts and evaluating students at critical milestones, we meet students where they are and help them to set the pace of their learning.
