TEL is a non-profit organization committed to providing equitable access to college-level learning to everyone.

At TEL, we create a catalog of highly engineered, online, general education courses. We partner with colleges and universities to offer these courses for college credit at affordable prices.

Our Focus

Our work is centered on the belief that all students, regardless of where they are from, their age, and the institution where they are studying, should be able to access high-quality, foundational courses with an expectation of learning the same information and skills as other students in comparable courses at any institution. In addition, students should have an opportunity to demonstrate or provide proof of their learning in formats that are widely recognized and accepted by employers and institutions of higher education.

Our Worldview Statement

TEL courses are designed to be fact-based and non-politicized. We do not focus on any specific worldview, either secular or Christian, but rather provide students with the key, factual information and skills they will need for academic and professional success. This approach is also part of our larger mission to provide a single affordable curriculum that can reach the greatest number of learners – homeschool, private, and public high school students – and offer them college credit from both private and public institutions.
