- Norris University is a new innovative online learning platform that offers a wide range of course curriculums and educational resources on familiar interfaces. We believe that online programs only work when parents are available, so choose a program that works when you are available. Our platform provides learners with access to high-quality content with familiar interactive learning tools, and a user-friendly interface at their convenience. Whether you're a student, a working professional, or someone looking to expand your knowledge, Norris University has a curriculum for everyone.
The landscape of education is undergoing a transformative shift, and homeschooling isn’t a viable choice for everyone. Norris University and advancing technology have introduced a brilliantly straightforward approach to enhance study time, harnessing familiar software that most students in grades 1-12 are already accustomed to, such as Khan Academy and YouTube University. Our approach involves designing a curriculum and content on a platform that students are already well-acquainted with, as opposed to grappling with intricate software that often comes with glitches and places undue burdens on parents.
CEO & Founder
In my capacity as the C.E.O. of Norris University and Advancing Technology, I want to underscore that my mission isn’t driven by a desire for immense profits. But to address a distinct issue – one that involves grappling with glitches, freezes, financial penalties, and other complications. Drawing from my experience as a 21-year educator, I am fully attuned to the evolving nature of education. Norris University and Advancing Technology can appreciate that not all families adhere to conventional schedules, and we are committed to solving this unique challenge. A new study tells us why we should be embracing new models of education.
Transforming education: Why K-12 education could look very different in the near future
One-size-fits-all education is still the default, and that needs to change. We’re committed to promoting individualized content curriculums across the board, because individualized education is needed now more than ever.
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed major problems with the education system, especially the lack of options tailored to every learner. It’s a problem that stretches back decades — and the time has come to solve it. Norris University and Advancing Technology is addressing parents’ issues with creating the correct academic content- in a sequential order- that maximizes study time. We do this by emphasizing an individualized content curriculum in the simplest way, and by using software that most students are familiar with.
