• What is Verizon Innovative Learning Schools?

    At Verizon, digital inclusion is about ensuring the benefits of technology are realized by all. Right now, millions of under-resourced students here in the U.S. are lacking the connectivity, technology and skills required for success in today’s digital economy. That is why, since 2012, we have been working to help foster digital inclusion through a transformative program called Verizon Innovative Learning.

    All children should have access to new technology and quality STEM education. Through Verizon Innovative Learning, we turn belief into action. Our program provides free technology, free internet access and a next-gen, technology-infused curriculum delivering a new way of learning. We work hand in hand with nonprofit partners and our team of education and technology experts to build and administer STEM-focused programs that create the kinds of transformations that change lives. We carefully measure and refine our programs to ensure we are making a difference – and we have. Our programs drive real academic improvements, such as increased proficiency in STEM and student engagement as compared to non-Verizon Innovative Learning schools.

    Digital Promise collaborates with Verizon to equip every student and teacher at select middle and high schools across America with a device and up to a four-year data plan and provide students without reliable home internet access with a mobile hotspot. In addition to free technology and access, Verizon Innovative Learning Schools receive extensive teacher training, support, and the opportunity to engage in a unique, immersive curriculum to leverage technology in their classrooms.
