This facilitates easy access and provides content to teachers and students according to their individual and classroom needs.

Dr. Nathan Buhl, Chief Academic Officer for FocalPointK12 says, "School systems are hungry for digital tools that aren't one-size-fits-all but instead are able to seamlessly co-exist with technologies organizations have already adopted and are comfortable using. Our team is uniquely positioned to connect disparate systems and organize technology in a way that best meets the needs of their stakeholders - giving them what they need while at the same time delivering blended learning products that are user-friendly and lighten the burden on teachers.”
