Every day, great teachers are making a difference, but not everyone has access to a great education. With the global reach of the web and the power of software, DreamBox Learning delivers the effectiveness of great teachers to benefit any student, anytime, anywhere. We are successful educators, entrepreneurs, technologists, and creative designers. We’re also parents with a passion for helping our children — and all children — succeed through effective web-based learning.
We have five core beliefs that guide our vision:

* Children learn best when they are engaged and having fun
* Children learn best when instruction is individualized to their learning needs
* The teaching strategies of effective teachers can be captured in software
* The personalization used in ecommerce should be applied to improve online education
* Kids’ interest in computer games should be leveraged to enhance learning
