What makes

Essential Education

different?

Dedicated only to

adult education; no

re-packaged K-12

content

Adaptive learning

engine designed to

ensure positive results

Engaging and

interactive content

Designed to teach

transferable strategies

rather than isolated

mechanics

We build

materials with

the student in

mind…

1. Generally not independent learners

2. Have gaps in conceptual knowledge

that create frustration

3. Learn at different speeds

4. Generally not strong readers

5. Often lack motivation/support

These must be addressed for students

to succeed and this is the purpose of

Essential Education as a company.
