Research-Driven Approach

At Age of Learning, we take a research-driven approach to developing our programs. Rigorous research studies involving more than 125,000 children globally have demonstrated that our programs help children make significant gains in early literacy and math skills and improve their confidence as learners.

Evidence-Based Math and Reading Programs

Our mastery-based programs have been certified as meeting the rigorous standards set by the U.S. Department of Education’s Every Student Succeeds Acts (ESSA) and have been published in leading peer-reviewed academic journals.
