WHO WE ARE
We are a team of high schoolers with a passion for sharing what we know. Each of us has teaching experience, high academic marks, and strong scores in the subjects we teach.
“Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
OUR MISSION
We are dedicated to helping our fellow students prepare for AP exams, achieve higher SAT/ACT Scores, and get higher grades in school. We formed Pixel Learn with the goal of providing free online education for high school students whose schools may not offer access to certain advanced, standardized testing, or AP classes. For no charge, Pixel Learn will help students learn the content of these courses.
Note: Our courses do not grant academic credit at this time.
Why increase your SAT/ACT score?
-
Top colleges are more likely to accept high school students with higher standardized test scores.

Did you Know?
You can take AP exams without taking the course in school! If your school doesn't offer a particular AP exam at your school, you can take that AP exam at another school.
Benefits of taking AP exams:
-
Show college admissions committees your hard work & knowledge!
-
Save time; lets you get a degree faster
-
Save money on tuition

They're fun, rewarding, and let you explore a subject!

OUR COURSES
Full-year courses designed to prepare students for AP exams & success
GOALS
NON-PROFIT
We are currently seeking 501(c)(3) status so that our donors can take tax deductions on their contributions. While we work on that, we’d still greatly appreciate donations as they help maintain our operations and provide free laptops, textbooks, robots, etc. for our students.
SUCCESS & EXAMS
We want students to master their respective passions, succeed in their AP exams, and create projects they can be proud of throughout their Pixel Learn experience.
GROWTH
There are a lot more courses and APs we want to teach, but we aren’t quite there yet. In the future, we hope to expand the number of programs that are available to students!
SPREAD
Pixel Learn seeks to provide a new learning model, giving broad access to advanced learning opportunities. We hope other organizations will adopt this model and collaborate with us!
REACH
We want to help as many students as possible! Everyone from anywhere is welcome!
