We founded our model over 30 years ago based on the research of Dr. Karen Bishop, Oxford University and the University of Chicago. Since then, over 19,000 students and graduates have found a better way to learn.
After researching the concept of individualized instruction and mastery learning at Oxford University, Dr. Bishop developed her vision of a one-to-one instructional model. She believed in the potential of every student to learn and achieve if instructional content and pace were tailored to each student’s ability and preferred learning modality.
Her educational model was supported by the research of Dr. Benjamin Bloom from the University of Chicago who found that students who received instruction tailored to their learning pace, in a one-to-one setting, outperformed 98% of the students in a traditional classroom setting. In 1985 Dr. Bishop founded the school in San Diego. We are extremely proud of our 19,000+ students and graduates and our transformative teachers.
