The Self-Directed Student is a personalized learning software that was intentionally designed to empower students of all ages to learn independently.. Students rarely have any say in what they learn, leading many students to slowly losing their curiosity and critical thinking skills.
Whether you are looking to support students in your school district or you’re a homeschooling parent, the SDS will help empower your students to learn on their own.

The Self-Directed Student is a personalized learning software that empowers your student to learn what, when, and how they want to learn. Regardless of if you are buying licenses for an entire school district or just your children that you homeschool, the process is the same.
In essence, the Self-Directed Student enables students to create their very own course to take.
Your students will begin by setting up their own Learning Plan. They will self-select topics and learning goals of high interest, and then search for resources that help them achieve their goals. Once they schedule out their learning, they will then begin to learn using their own Learning Plan.

How does the SDS work?
Students so rarely have a voice in their learning, leading many to checkout, underperform, or hyperfocus on testing. We believe education is fundamentally a human right and that all students should be able to learn in a manner tailored to their needs and interests.
Too many students are skilled at getting by in school, while so few students truly know how to learn on their own. The SDS intends to empower students to learn on their own, while also setting them up for a lifetime of learning.
The Self-Directed Student is the first and only true personalized learning software. Students are fully in control of their learning, selecting when, what, and how they want to learn.
