PARAMUS, NEW JERSEY — Savvas Learning Company, a leader in next-generation K-12 learning solutions, is pleased to announce that Outlier by Savvas, its dual-enrollment online course offering, has been named to TIME World's 2024 list of Best edtech Companies. Outlier by Savvas was ranked 73rd in this new global ranking of the top 250 edtech companies conducted by TIME in partnership with Statista, a market research and statistics company.
Savvas recently acquired Outlier, an educational technology startup that has created a portfolio of online asynchronous dual enrollment courses, with real transferable college credit opportunities from a top 50 university, allowing high school students to earn dual credits without having to leave their school building. . Offering a diverse catalog of award-winning college courses with film lectures from top-notch instructors, Savvas Outlier offers high school students multiple pathways to college and careers.
“We are thrilled that Outlier has been recognized on TIME's list of the World's Top edtech Companies 2024,” said Bethlam Forsa, CEO of Savvas Learning Company. “Just as remote work is commonplace today, school district leaders are embracing online learning to bring college courses to the high school environment. “Outlier by Savvas meets this need by offering high-quality online dual enrollment courses that broaden students’ academic horizons from the comfort of the high school classroom.”
Research shows that dual enrollment programs can increase both high school graduation rates and college enrollment rates. Dual enrollment online courses can expose students to a broader range of subjects that their high school or community college may not offer, allowing them to discover where their passions lie and giving them a boost for college or a future career. Taking college courses in high school helps students get a “taste” of the college experience in a safe, familiar learning environment.
Another key benefit of earning high school and college credits simultaneously through dual enrollment courses is the reduction in the cost of college tuition.
“Earning transferable college credit at no cost to the student in high school can substantially reduce the burden of paying for college for many families,” Forsa said. “As student loan debt skyrockets and the cost of college tuition increases, the need to increase access to dual enrollment opportunities for high school students is greater than ever.”
The World's Top edtech Companies 2024 list recognizes companies that focus on developing and providing educational technologies, products or services. To support the research, data was collected from company applications, annual reports, media monitoring and other public sources. The ranking is based on research and analysis of companies in two focus areas: financial strength and industry impact. Companies with the highest scores that demonstrate extraordinary impact on the educational technology industry along with strong financial performance were included in the list.
