Who we are:

Elevate K-12 is a fast-growing edtech company focused on solving the crisis-level teacher shortage in US K-12 schools. We are changing the way classrooms work by creating a brand new category of live, synchronous classroom instruction that gives students access to high quality, certified teachers who help them prepare for the world of the future!
