“The expert is the student" and it’s our responsibility to build learning that reflects their world. Superintendent Antonio Shelton, Ed.D. of Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District said it best during our recent visit to Santa Monica High School. For years, he’s led with one mission: create belonging, build real relationships, and deliver the best public-school experience possible. And hearing how Subject is helping move that mission forward? Powerful. Huge thank you to Superintendent Shelton and the entire SMMUSD community for trusting Subject to be part of your students’ journey.

It’s Thanksgiving week, so there’s no better time to share one of my favorite stories about giving back . A few weeks ago, we surprised a high school student from Chandler Unified School District with the ultimate Homecoming experience.... Pulling up in a Lamborghini. We’re building more than a platform. We’re creating experiences that remind students what learning shouldfeel like: opportunity, community, and moments that stay with you. More to come. 💙

At Forest Hills Public Schools, Subject didn’t just fill course gaps — it helped more students graduate. Through our Teacher of Record (TOR) AI program, students gained access to accredited teachers, flexible support, and personalized pathways that kept them on track. The results speak for themselves: ☑️ Enrollment growth from 47 → 123 in one semester ☑️ Median scores increased to 86.1% ☑️ Completion rates improved across cohorts ☑️ $300K+ funding retained through stronger persistence and performance Behind every number is a student who stayed in school, earned credits, and moved closer to graduation. We're grateful to Jeff Rapelje, Jon Gregory, and student-athlete Cora Lee for sharing their experience. 💙
