Schoolhouse.world is an online platform that connects people around the world to free, small-group tutoring sessions. It currently offers tutoring in high school math and SAT prep, and aims to expand to more ages and topics soon.

RIDE opened registration for the ACN last week, with triple the number of course offerings than the previous year, on a statewide educational access portal, EnrollRI. Students can register now for Schoolhouse tutoring at EnrollRI.org/ACN.
There is no deadline to register, and there are no limits to the number of Rhode Island students that can apply.
