Enhanced media content, including Inspire Math videos and Family Support resources;
Flexible course pathways, providing accelerated middle school courses and both traditional and integrated high school mathematics options; and
Embedded interactive tools to enhance conceptual understanding.

Traverse is a digital-first social studies core curriculum solution designed to build civic literacy and historical thinking skills. Features include:

Library of more than 1,500 written, oral, and visual sources to provide a rich, multidimensional understanding of history;

A focus on equipping students with analytical, research, and communication skills essential for academic and civic success; and
