Close The Achievement Gap (K12):
We provide schools, parents and organizations that have youth programs with additional resources. We prepare students for the high demands of their future academic and professional pursuits by providing a remote arena to improve their math, reading and writing literacy. We have also gamified learning to increase their educational knowledge in math, languages arts, science, and social studies. In addition to mentoring students, IIF engages and incentivizes students to take back control over their self-directed learning and set their own goals for prizes.
