Outlier.org was built with the understanding that the American education system is fundamentally broken. Students in the U.S. owe $1.7 trillion in student debt, and much of that comes from students who never make it to graduation. Outlier.org was founded to combat this and make education accessible, affordable and inclusive, no matter a student’s location or background. Two years after its launch, the online education platform is continuing to address the higher education industry’s long standing issues with these principles as a partner to higher education institutions, high schools, and students. Using scalable methods that effectively engage, teach, and motivate students, removing the upper limit on class size, Outlier.org is paving the way for real change by partnering with education providers in three ways: articulation agreements, courseware partnerships, and ‘school of record’ partnerships.
