Mission:

We exist to educate and empower people to achieve their maximum God-given potential, so they can serve others and provide for themselves and their families.

Vision:

Our Vision is that every person attain the highest score their ability, knowledge and effort will allow, and that no person suffer an unnatural disadvantage due to inadequate opportunity for preparation. This vision, the more it is achieved, empowers individuals to overcome socioeconomic limitations to success, reduces residual bias in the testing process, and leads to better results for test-takers, educators, employers and society at large.

Execution:

We do this by creating and curating the world’s largest collection of educational materials for helping individuals pass high-stakes standardized tests. Founded as a new kind of educational publisher at the dawn of the online revolution in 2002, we utilize the power of the Internet to give much of our work away for free.

We trust that this generosity in helping others will enable us to earn a fair return for our creators and their families. We believe that people come before profits, whether our clients or team members, and that a long-term enterprise can be built only on a foundation of trust, fairness, and loyalty.
