Proximity Learning Inc., an ESS Company and the pioneering provider of synchronous virtual instruction for K-12 education, announced it will acquire Coursemojo’s virtual learning book of business for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Moving forward, Coursemojo will concentrate exclusively on advancing Mojo, its promising, AI-powered assistant teacher, and delivering on the potential of AI-powered tools to foster joyful, inclusive and effective learning experiences for all.
Led by industry veterans Dacia Toll, former CEO of Achievement First, and Eric Westendorf, former CEO of LearnZillion, Coursemojo previously partnered with more than 30 school districts across the U.S. to provide virtual learning alternatives and expand course options for high school students. Following the acquisition, school districts will migrate to Proximity Learning’s synchronous virtual learning platform, a solution trusted by hundreds of schools throughout the U.S. Proximity Learning helps school districts fill open positions with certified educators and empowers superintendents to introduce specialty courses for their students.
“Proximity Learning has proudly served more than 500,000 students throughout our history,” said Evan Erdberg, president and founder of Proximity Learning. “We understand the power of surrounding students with a holistic education and know that filling teacher vacancies with certified educators is critical to building a successful learning ecosystem. We are excited to expand our reach to new school districts and superintendents through today’s acquisition.”
“In Proximity Learning, we found a partner that matches our passion for innovative education technology and robust customer support—we are confident our school partners will thrive on their platform,” said Dacia Toll, co-founder and co-CEO of Coursemojo. “We are eager to focus our efforts going forward on expanding Mojo’s capabilities as a comprehensive learning companion. We have received very positive feedback on the ability of Mojo to provide differentiated support for both students and teachers, and we are excited to work with our school partners on our curriculum-aligned tools.”
