ACT/SAT Prep ($$)
The eKnowledge SAT/ACT Prep Program was recently selected by the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) as their official SAT/ACT Prep course for all 19,500 member high schools and 12 million students. Official Press Release here. Our mandate is to help as many students and families as we can reach. Since 2005, we have amassed 300+ partner groups and organizations and have helped over 250,000 students and families. The Project donates the full retail value of the SAT/ACT PowerPrep programs ($350-$1500). The student pays only a nominal student-fee between $19.99 and $49.99 to offset some of the streaming and support expenses. All Student-Fees are reinvested to continuously improve the program and reach more families. The Project does not create a profit.

Waybuilder.net
In late 2018, Waybuilder.Net absorbed the content of a pair of 20-yr-old free education sites, Free-Ed.Net and Sweethaven.Com. Whereas the two original sites were modeled after contemporary schools and colleges, the newer version is designed for people who have a need or passion for actually learning new material and skills over a lifetime. The goal of this emerging structure of education is not to pass exams and to get certified, but to grasp the essence of particular areas of knowledge for a variety of purposes … ideas that are meaningful and of awesome value. Worthwhile learning experiences are personal adventures that last a lifetime. Formal education is a structured experience that is most relevant for a relatively short period of time.
