Challenge: The Department of Defense requested an online program to help children of military parents succeed in their education.
Solution: The Princeton Review, Houghton Mifflin, and KSI created a student program to test student skills and help students improve where needed. The SOAR tool offers a plethora of resources to parents and children.
KSI created a dynamic online access portal for military parents, providing access to hundreds of resources for parents to help their children succeed, including an online forum for discussion between registered members, state specific information links, and video tutorials to help parents navigate the student tool.
