Quad Learning is a venture-backed startup, headquartered in Washington, DC with community college collaborators in Washington, Indiana, Texas, and New Jersey. Quad Learning collaborates with community colleges to offer the American Honors (AH) program.
American Honors is a selective program for students who want to transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree from a top college or university. The program includes honors courses, a dedicated advisor, and a strong community. AH advisors work with students to help them pick the right classes, map out transfer options, define career goals, and identify financial aid options. Earning a degree from the American Honors program comes with the distinction of graduating from one of the most prestigious community college honors programs in the country. This enables students to take on life’s challenges with confidence and a fresh set of skills.
Quad Learning and AH have been featured in The New York Times, Inside Higher Ed, All Things Digital, the Washington Post and more.
Students have long used community college as a steppingstone to a four-year degree. American Honors has invented a new model. An honors education that prepares students for the rigors of a four-year college. Dedicated advisors who help establish a transfer strategy from day one. An innovative learning platform designed to keep students on track. And a growing network of four-year colleges who actively recruit program graduates – and, in some cases, guarantee admission.
AH encourages students to consider broadening their prospects, even if ultimately decide a local college is the right choice. AH students have been accepted at Stanford, Cornell, Michigan and dozens of other top schools.
Quad Learning was developed with social interaction in mind. As the hub of the American Honors experience, Quad has created a kind of connectivity and involvement that won’t be found anywhere else – in the classroom or on another platform. The Quad innovative social learning platform gives students the opportunity to have one-on-one conversations with instructors, to check in regularly with honors advisors and interact with peers to work on projects – or simply to socialize.
Quad integrates the entire academic life, helping students get ready for every day, providing easy access to syllabi, assignments, course materials, notes, grades, deadlines, tools, e-portfolios, transfer plans and more.
Just a few of the features include:
While many honors classes are on campus, students also have the opportunity to participate in others using the live video conferencing system integrated with Quad. At scheduled times, students join a virtual classroom, which feels very much like having a front-row seat in a small seminar where everyone participates in the exchange of ideas. Students see the faces of other students – not the backs of heads, and have the flexibility to join class from home, campus – or wherever else suits them.
Quad provides an easy, organized format to help students plan, track and assess their progress in relation to course credits and requirements. Advisors work with students every step of the way, alleviating the daunting task of planning a transfer to a four-year college.
Transfer schools number over fifty; to name a few: Gonzaga University, Purdue University, The University of Arizona, Brandeis University, UCLA, and Swarthmore College.
American Honors’ mission and vision is supported wholeheartedly by its workforce culture. Students are always put first; every team member focuses on helping students realize their potential to change their lives through access to high-quality college education.
