"The MWC and its member institutions are excited to provide this educational tool to teachers and over six million students," said Craig Thompson, MWC Commissioner. "It is critical for young people to realize that athletic success can only be achieved when it is preceded by academic success. This is essential to the development of our future student-athletes."

Students love the program because it truly makes learning fun. Teachers love the ''user-friendly' program features and the fact that it's a quality learning program students are actually excited about using.

"Using Kid's College has helped us prepare for High Stakes testing in a fun and engaging way."

"As technology coordinator, I have been impressed with the reaction of the students to Kid's College. They become excited about doing the math and language exercises and complain when they have to leave, even if it is for recess!"
Anne Marie Hauber, Lake Ridge Elementary School, Magna, UT

"What a find Kid's College has been for us! Students are seeing unbelievable results. They work in pairs, assisting each other with questions (teamwork!), and, with the help of the state standards curriculum design of your program, these former unmotivated students are realizing improvement and excellence in academics. Within each area of study, students move to higher levels of proficiency, and they are congratulated and awarded certificates. This is truly a positive experience. The collegiate theme of your program complements what we are working hard to instill: a love of learning and the promotion of higher education."
Pamela Anderson, Rancho Cucamonga Middle School, Rancho Cucamonga, CA

"I have found the web site easy to use as I set up the various classes and curriculum. Teachers appreciate this customization as they can select the grade level of material appropriate to each student as well as the state standards where students need improvement. Teachers have found the reports invaluable as they can print class reports, student reports and reports by state standard. The student reports show students and parents how the student is progressing in that state standard. We know benefits will be seen when we see our CSAP results next school year!"
Joan E. Grant, Bristol Elementary School, Colorado Springs, CO
