"At Apex Learning we have great expectations for all students and want to ensure every student has an opportunity to achieve to his or her potential."
Students are actively engaged in learning and motivated to persist in completing their coursework.
Students are empowered to take control of their own learning.
Students know at any point in time where they stand in terms of progress and performance. Teachers have real-time data at their fingertips to inform instruction. And administrators can easily see the results of a program. Actionable data provides everyone the information needed to ensure success.
Apex Learning was started in 1997 by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen on the idea that online courses and test prep, which were already succeeding in higher education, could be applied to K-12. The original focus of the company was providing online Advanced Placement courses and test prep, and AP remains a core part of Apex Learning's business. In the company’s first full year, Apex Learning served 200 students.
After a series of ups-and-downs during the dot-com bubble, Apex Learning raised and spent $37 million from venture capitalist investors, and the company had three different CEOs. In 2002, Cheryl Vedoe, formerly founder and CEO of Tenth Planet, a company that specializes in classroom technology, and then VP of Education Marketing at Apple Computer,[1] became the CEO of Apex Learning. Since then, Apex Learning stabilized its revenue and operations and introduced new web-based products addressing credit recovery, remediation, classroom teaching, and alternative schools.
Recognizing the challenges schools face in meeting the needs of every student — from those struggling to stay on track for graduation to those capable of accelerating their learning — the company continues to develop innovative, digital learning solutions to support teachers and provide every student with the opportunity to excel beyond his or her expectations.
Today Apex Learning offers a comprehensive catalog of rigorous, standards-based online courses that meet high school graduation requirements and are used by schools nationwide for both initial credit and credit recovery. Apex Learning Comprehensive Courses—in core subjects, world languages, Advanced Placement, CTE and electives—are available for original credit and credit recovery.
Apex Learning adaptive Tutorials provides personalized learning to address course pass rates and exam scores, offering intervention, remediation and unit recovery.
During the 2015-2016 school year, there were more than three million enrollments in Apex Learning to improve student outcomes. Headquartered in Seattle, Apex Learning is accredited by AdvancEd and its courses are approved for National Collegiate Athletic Association eligibility.
