Budget cuts don’t make student needs disappear.

Students still need special education, multi-language instruction, advanced courses, and qualified teachers. But when enrollment drops and budgets tighten, keeping every position as a full-time hire gets harder.

So what happens when districts need to protect instruction without adding headcount?

There’s another way to staff the classroom.

A test score can tell you what has changed, but it can’t always tell you why.

That’s why we didn’t stop at the numbers.

One Geometry course showed 32% growth, giving us a specific result to look closer at alongside teacher reflection, instructional support, and what happens when students learn with a live teacher, not just a screen.

Because student growth isn’t just something to measure, it’s something to understand.

We won another one. 🏆

And this time, it’s been three years in a row.

Proximity Learning Inc. has been recognized in the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Back to School 2026!

This recognition highlights education technology solutions helping schools tackle real challenges, and we’re proud to be part of it.

But an award like this is never just about a company. It’s about the teachers who show up live for their students, the districts who trust us to help fill instructional gaps, and the people behind the scenes making every connection possible.

To our teachers, district partners, and team… this one belongs to you, too.

We’re grateful to keep doing work that helps schools deliver the instruction their students need.

The best libraries help every reader find the right book.

The best schools help every student find the support they need.

Proximity Learning's Special Education services are designed to help districts meet student needs with specialized instruction, evaluations, related services, and case management support.

Teacher shortages don't change student needs.

We're here to help districts meet them.

We said our virtual teaching could help students grow, so we put it to the test.

At Proximity Learning, we looked at how nearly 4,400 students progressed during instruction, and English Language Arts showed 18.58% growth across the courses assessed.

We didn't ask students to prove anything for us. We asked whether our virtual teaching was actually helping them move forward.

Because if we're going to say our virtual teaching works, we should be willing to prove it.

Dependability gets you through today. Forward thinking prepares you for what's next.

Henrico County Public Schools has found both in its partnership with Proximity Learning.

Robbi Moose says Proximity Learning has proven to be a dependable and forward-thinking partner.

Good teachers don't just teach lessons.

They read the room.

They notice confusion before a student raises their hand. They celebrate breakthroughs. They adjust when students need support.

That's impossible with a prerecorded video.

Live instruction creates real engagement because learning happens between people, not between a student and a play button.

The difference is simple:

Watching isn't learning.

Participating is.

What if the answer to teacher vacancies wasn’t hiring more teachers?

Appomattox County Public Schools took a different approach to a 30% special education vacancy rate.

The result? Zero vacancies the following school year.

A library full of empty shelves doesn't serve readers.

A classroom without a teacher doesn't serve students.

District leaders across the country are facing difficult staffing challenges, but learning can't wait for positions to be filled.

PLI provides certified, live virtual teachers who deliver real-time instruction, engage students, and keep learning moving forward.

Students deserve access to every chapter of their education, not gaps between them.
