The context:

Across the developing world, more children than ever are in school - but they are not learning.

A recent study estimated that less than 1% of school children in Sub-Saharan Africa attend a school where the teaching meets basic standards of quality.

Today, we serve more than 250,000 students across more than 900 schools in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana and now Rwanda.

Through great curriculum, intensive teacher coaching and actionable data, we help teachers and school leaders bring quality to every classroom

independent studies show Rising students make more than twice the progress of their peers in comparable schools.
