A Message from our CEO
Dear Educators and Families,
First and foremost, I want to commend and thank all of the educators, healthcare workers, support services, and families that have put 200% of themselves into adapting to the upheaval of our way of life in 2020. In one way or another, everyone has been on the front line battling this pandemic each and every day this year. On the education front, the abrupt change from a structured school day and classroom setting to e-learning at home has left many of us spinning, even after a full semester of school.
Since the shutdowns began last spring, Adventure 2 Learning has been 1000% committed to adapting to the needs of teachers and families across a variety of settings. We have fielded thousands of calls and emails from educators around the globe, all with a common need — QUALITY educational and enrichment programs for kids — both at home and at school.
Over the last 9 months:
- We launched Roku, AppleTV, FireTV, and Comcast streaming apps, allowing students and families to easily watch and learn from our videos right in their living rooms for free.
- We rolled out multiple options for free access to teachers and families directly on our website and we’ve opened up 60 days of free access again with code LEARN60 on Monthly plans. Click here to redeem.
- We rapidly developed guides to help parents use our content in alignment with their children’s curriculum requirements.
- We added thousands of new educational videos to our on-demand library including new content in Grammar, Literacy, Math, Science, SEL, and Fitness.
- We launched A2L LIVE, which combines live instructional virtual lessons from world-renowned experts with our on-demand content. This has been a godsend to so many families who wanted to fill in the gaps in education and ensure their learner wasn’t falling behind or missing out on much needed enrichment content such as art, music, sports, yoga, mindfulness, world languages, and more.
What’s coming for 2021:
- Continuation of A2L LIVE weekly virtual classes to offer additional enrichment and support for students and families
- Offering free Mindfulness, Yoga, SEL classes, and professional development webinars
- Adding new and additional on-demand content to our library based on needs
- New and exciting library features such as an improved user experience; playlist share feature for students and parents; assessment and personalization feature for students; and much more!
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU AS PARENTS AND EDUCATORS! What do you need most right now and what can we do to help? Are there any specific subject areas that you need to be addressed? Are you using other programs that you would like to see added to our platform? Please tell us.
On a final note, I’m incredibly proud of my team for their extensive hard work, selflessness, and commitment to our mission of helping educators and students with engaging tools. While no one anticipated a situation like this, my team’s ability to adapt to these ever-changing needs has been truly amazing and I’m very excited to see how we can help even more in 2021!
Please do not hesitate to share your ideas or contact me directly at michael@adventure2learning.com. We sincerely thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to supporting you in the new year!
Stay safe, stay healthy, and happy holidays!
Michael Rhattigan
