The quality of the education itself stumbled. Discrepancies across locations. Multiple instructor slots to maintain across three different states. Dozens of classroom seats to fill every quarter in order to stay afloat. Operations and logistics were a nightmare.

So in 2018, against almost all advice we were given from advisors and experts, we closed every single physical door. We took our entire company and classroom online to focus on what matters most: reaching and helping people where they're at (instead of where we are) and improving their individual outcomes, even if that meant less headlines, slower growth, and a smaller team. We survived. Many of our competitors didn't. Here's what their fancy marketing gimmicks and budgets didn't tell you: they face the same problems and have to make the same trade-offs.

We'll let you decide who made the right decision.

We're still in the same principal business as in 2015, but it's built student-first. Regardless of their previous experience, we provide our students with rigorous, in-demand curriculum, and we augment it with best-in-class coaching and support services through our proprietary learning platform (that we built ourselves).

We aren’t scaling at-all-costs for the sake of growth itself. We've seen how that story ends. We’re operating for the sake of staying in business as long as possible so that we can continue serving to the best of our ability – better than anyone else.

We know our students by name. Many of them were family or friends first before they were students, and we want to stick around so we can help them – and so we get to see them exceed even their wildest dreams.

It doesn't have to be crazy at work. You’ll never feel like a number here – and that goes for our team as much as it does our students.

Everything comes to an end at some point. That's life. Whether the company lasts another six months, six years, or six decades, we want our team – and our community – to know they did amazing work that changed someone's world for the better. That only happens when you truly put people first.

Our goal is to always strive to make this a great place to do the best, most meaningful work of your life – without getting in the way of you living it. We don't mean that in the hand-wavy, once-a-quarter-potluck, corporate feel-good kind of way, but in the "I wish someone would have told me these were the good ol' days when I was in the good ol' days," kind of way.
