Many schools and programs share a similar challenge: they’re interested in project-based learning (PBL), but moving away from traditional providers like Edgenuity or Edmentum can feel like a major leap. That hesitation is understandable, shifting instructional models is a significant decision that impacts students, staff, and systems.
Instead of asking schools to overhaul everything at once, there’s a more practical approach: start small, evaluate clearly, and scale with confidence.
The 5-Student PBL Challenge
- Replace just five full-time seats from your current provider
- Try five Centric Learning full-time asynchronous seats
- Typically cost neutral
- Experience a completely different learning model
This low-risk pilot creates space for real comparison without disrupting your existing structure.
What Makes the Comparison Valuable
- Project-Based Learning
Students demonstrate mastery through authentic projects instead of passive video modules - Higher Engagement
Designed for alternative education, credit recovery, and students who need more meaningful learning experiences - AI Thought Partner
Built-in academic support that helps students think, reflect, and stay on track—while teachers remain central - Flexible Pacing
Students progress when they demonstrate mastery instead of being limited by seat time - No-Risk Pilot
Five seats allow for a true comparison without system-wide disruption
What Schools Are Seeing
- Clear side-by-side comparison with current providers
- Improved student engagement
- Stronger completion rates
- Higher quality student work
