About ADVANTAGES Digital Learning Solutions

In 2006, ADVANTAGES Digital Learning Solutions was founded by a small group of teachers and educators that wanted to develop a simple solution to offer kids everywhere, access to great academic content, regardless of their zip code. Our simple beginning consisted of weekly meetings in a coffee shop with free WIFI and decent lattes, where we began to build our own online school and digital platform allowing our vision to take shape.

Starting with the enrollment of a few displaced students that had nowhere else to go, we saw proof that kids could, and would, achieve success with our newly developed alternative to traditional school programming. With determination, sacrifice and enormous support from our families, our program was born. We left our salaried positions with the districts and universities we worked with, so we could devote our time to our new business. Initially, we wanted to affect change in our own community, but we quickly learned that our reach could expand the globe, taking us across all 50 states in the US, and into more than 30 countries to date.

The ADVANTAGES DLS mission is to assist all learners on their path to a high-quality education by providing tools and resources to personalize learning both locally and abroad. We do this by providing education institutions with the resources to manage all aspects of student information, curriculum management and learning management in a single integrated education management platform.

Today, ADVANTAGES DLS and our accredited online school, ADVANTAGES School International, are still owned and operated by the same passionate team of education professionals that started it. Since those early stages, we have been strategically designing and building digital components into a single system that would support our own students as well as provide flexibility in meeting the needs of our partners around the world. Our ASSIST Platform components work together seamlessly with our online school, to capture and manage information relevant to the educational workplace, student success and the desired outcomes. Our programs are designed to complement online, blended, or traditional school environments with innovative solutions and world-class support.

Headquartered now in Northern Nevada with our own coffee machine, our well-rounded team is comprised of experts in university admissions, curriculum development, program and platform implementation and school administration. Our team has become an authority on accreditation standards and compliance, teacher support programing with best practices, professional development, and school program design.

ADVANTAGES DLS and Advantages School International was developed by teachers, for teachers.

ADVANTAGES Digital Learning Solutions is an AdvanceED Accredited Program – now Cognia. Also approved as an NCAA, NCA, CASI, NWAC, SACS, CASI, and A-G course provider.

I love being able to personalize our courses and sections to meet the needs of our school. The system supports our rolling enrollment, which gives us the flexibility we need. My goal is for the students to be highly engaged in the learning process, and to remember meaningful work from exploring the courses as part of their journey as lifelong learners. ASSIST Platform is a major contributor to meeting this goal.

Advantages has been great for our students. They really customize each curriculum to the individual student, and our students are thriving. Online education provides an opportunity for students to move at their own pace while receiving individual attention. Advantages teachers and staff are very helpful in supporting our students so when they return to their home school, they are right on track.

My son is a competitive tennis player. The Advantages program has enabled him to travel and not miss a bit with his education. We have found the program to be challenging, thorough, and engaging.

I could not have hoped for a better working relationship with an online academy! I have truly appreciated the quick access. Knowing our students are being guided by teachers with a minimum of ten years teaching experience and a Masters Degree assures me that the teachers our students depend on are well qualified in their subject matter. The weekly progress reports are helpful to students and parents by allowing them to view quality of work and grades to date via email. Based on my experience, I would recommend Advantages Schools to anyone in need of online education!

We started with Advantages International a year ago, Grace's junior year. She did the research and pushed for this school. I cannot express how thrilled we are after completing our first year! Grace had her best grades yet and is on track with her riding. She felt not only supported, but challenged in a positive way by the curriculum. Her teachers and her guidance counselor were beyond amazing and supportive. They worked with us to ensure that Grace was meeting all the NCAA requirements. We are starting her senior year knowing that she will finish early and finish strong, giving us the opportunity to find the perfect college match. I have only one regret, and that is that we wasted time with other programs and did not enroll in Advantages sooner.

My daughter has homeschooled off and on throughout middle and high school. We have tried several programs. She is pretty self-disciplined and determined. With that being said, she has had various issues with curriculum and structure with programs. She is an equestrian athlete hoping to ride in college so her grades and her ability to practice and compete are very important. Over the years, we have felt that something had to suffer, either her riding or her academics.

As a student, I used ASI to compliment my high school experience. I stayed enrolled in my local high school for the social aspect and sports. I used ASI to get ahead, taking APs and foreign language. It was great to have such flexibility and rigor in my schooling.
