On Global Courses
A standards-screened course library institutions can use on day one. Teach it as-is, or use it as a base and build your own lessons on top. 7 subjects, Grades 3 to 12, 100+ languages.
The gap
A school in a remote district with no national textbooks. A refugee center serving four nationalities in one room. A francisation cohort with no adult-level material. The classroom is there. The curriculum is not. Global Courses is the library we hand them so the teaching can start now, not next year.

How to use it
Some institutions need a curriculum on day one. Others bring their own and want a scaffold to build on. The library does both. Use it straight, or treat it as the starting point your teachers edit, extend, and make their own.
Mode A
Lessons, worked examples, exercises, assessments, teacher guides. All ready, all aligned to public standards. Place a student at the right grade and they start learning, with no prep on your end.
Mode B
Every course is a starting point. Teachers edit any lesson in the platform, swap in your own assessments, or mix Global Courses with your own syllabus. The library becomes scaffolding your curriculum sits on.
The screen
We don't write our own standard. Every course is mapped to the public frameworks the ministries and examiners we work with already use.
