Saylor Academy’s mission is to open education to all.

Saylor Academy’s mission is sustained by the continued evolution of an open educational ecosystem, and we are dedicated partners in this movement.

  • Open courses require more instructional supports for learners, so our current improvements focus on ensuring better and more frequent opportunities for Saylor students to practice what they’re learning.

Open Credentials: Adding New Opportunities and Bolstering Existing Ones
