We're making digital education more affordable, accessible, and innovative.
Text messages are the future of education.
Studies conducted by Stanford University, Jadara University, Penn State, and Accenture all show that text messages keep students interested, engaged, and generally better at learning and retention.
Why? Texts break down and condense information, leaving only the most important and relevant content. They also meet students where they're at: on their phones.
Working with professors at Babson College and USC, Arist launched the world's first text message course in May 2018. We're pioneering a more relevant and novel approach to learning for students of all kinds.
Arist is launching a full set of courses (and our new platform) in January 2019. Stay in the loop.
