At Stride, Inc. we support learners of all ages with inspired teachers and personalized experiences. Everything comes back to learners. And not just the 56.6 million K–12 students — the 331 million Americans. Learning never stops. It’s the best means of growth throughout your life. But learning simply cannot be one-size-fits-all. At Stride, we’re leading enormous and necessary change in a sector that’s left far too many behind. And it’s required us to challenge long-accepted beliefs and practices. With insight and input from learners, parents, teachers, administrators, boards of education, and policymakers, we continue to provide more effective ways to learn — focusing on building the skills and confidence learners need to make their way forward in life. Because the more learners grow, the more we all benefit. And the future holds vast opportunity — where learners are empowered to choose a path that unlocks their full potential. Help us champion a fairer system that creates a stronger workforce and a stronger society.
