Secondary Education
In a rapidly-changing world that depends on innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology, young people need more than passive content learning.
We designed our secondary school program, Quest Forward Learning, for students globally to achieve academic success while developing the mindset, habits, and skills they need to achieve sustainable, purposeful lives.
We also support all students through their post-secondary education with our Pathways Program — a unique and incredibly effective service to ensure our graduates succeed and thrive in further education and career.

Primary Education
Since 2005, Opportunity Education has supported over 1 million primary school students across 11 countries. Working directly with more than 5,000 teachers in 1,500 schools, we have provided a full range of effective learning materials, including TVs, DVD players, DVD-based classroom content for all primary school grades, student supplies, and more.
Our Primary Schools Program has enabled teachers worldwide to use media-rich curricular materials, often in settings where textbooks were rare. The Program also supported active, local teacher collaboration across schools and the development of successful professional learning communities.
