Apex Learning

Launched by Microsoft (MSFT) cofounder Paul Allen, for-profit Apex Learning got its start with tools that let school districts provide advanced placement (AP) classes that individual schools cannot provide. Apex has expanded to offer core high school courses for students who need make up credit or remediation in certain subjects. The company also caters to homeschool families.
