LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SUBJECT, an e-learning provider, earned the prestigious Cognia® accreditation on June 27, 2024, which will ultimately help students nationwide unlock their potential. In a recent partnership with L'ATTITUDE Ventures which is focused on investing in Latino founders, SUBJECT will help amplify the educational needs of underrepresented students.
SUBJECT started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to provide an alternative to the traditional classroom and to offer an immersive experience with cinematic courses for high school students.
"We're paving a new way in the educational landscape. Our platform doesn't just adapt to the way modern students learn – it enhances their learning experience, making education more accessible, enjoyable, and effective than ever before, much like how Netflix revolutionized entertainment," said SUBJECT CEO and Co-Founder Michael Vilardo.
Besides the Cognia® accreditation, SUBJECT has earned accreditation from the WASC Accrediting Commission for Schools, the College Board, and National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA). SUBJECT's effectiveness is evident in its widespread adoption by numerous school districts, where it has achieved an impressive 94 percent course completion rate, playing a crucial role in helping school districts boost their graduation rates.
"Michael and the full Subject team are building an incredible education platform built for the future of learning. We are excited to see how its content and technology can unlock engaging accredited courses for both teachers and students," said Pete Amaro, managing partner at L'ATTITUDE Ventures, a recent investor in SUBJECT.
As part of its accreditation, SUBJECT must have a continuous process of improvement and submit to internal and external reviews. This online educational platform, like accredited traditional schools, has been found to be in good standing and can maintain its accreditation for a six-year term.
