Our Journey

Off2Class has been providing high-quality digital ESL curriculum and support to teachers working with English Learners for over 10 years. We believe passionately that teachers are the key to better serving ELs, and our work is rooted in our desire to save teachers time and enable them to help their students thrive.

We started our work in 2014 as a small group of ESL teachers struggling to find teacher-guided lessons to use in our virtual classrooms. We wanted resources for teaching English in a digital environment so we could harness the power of the 21st-century classroom. So, we built a website for our lessons from scratch and watched as a community of teachers facing the same issues grew.

Today, Off2Class provides a robust lesson library containing over 1500 lessons, in addition to a wide array of scaffolding tools, assessments, and data dashboards, to thousands of teachers who support English learners in middle & high schools and adult contexts. We are part of the fabric of over 200 K-12 districts in the United States and internationally; we serve teachers in over 180 countries! We employ a team that speaks 14 languages. We remain just as passionate about saving teachers time, delivering great digital lessons and improving language outcomes for English learners today as when we started this work 10 years ago.

Our Mission

Our vision is a world where the English language is accessible to all and creates opportunities for everyone.

Our mission is to empower teachers to deliver excellent English language instruction. By providing high-quality instructional materials and comprehensive teacher training, every day we enable thousands of educators to teach confidently, engage meaningfully, and inspire deeply.

Off2Class’ leadership team believes that everything we do is in support of these commitments and beliefs. Our work is guided by our core set of values. Our team members possess diverse and personal connections to the work we do. When we make an update to our platform, problem-solve with a teacher during office hours, plan a sustainable implementation alongside a district administrator, or build a lesson that will ultimately become part of an EL’s school day, we ensure these values are reflected in our work.
