We empower districts with accredited middle and high school original credit, credit recovery, and multilingual courses that meet the needs of today’s learners and educators.
Our platform was built from the ground up based on extensive feedback from educators and team members who understand firsthand the challenges of teaching todays digital-native students. Teachers told us they needed better ways to engage students, track progress effortlessly, and improve district-wide outcomes—and we listened.
Through close collaboration with educators, we developed features that directly address their most pressing needs: bite-sized, engaging video content that captures student attention, flexible language support to serve diverse student populations, comprehensive homework help, seamless progress monitoring tools that save teachers time, and comprehensive analytics that help districts boost graduation rates and student success metrics.
Backed by top accreditations (Cognia, WASC) and approvals (UC-AG, NCAA, College Board), Subject delivers measurable results that administrators can trust. Our partner districts report increased student engagement, improved completion rates, and stronger academic outcomes.
Ready to transform learning in your district? Lets discuss how Subject can help you achieve your educational goals.

Were redesigning mental health care through a digital platform and in-person experiences, integrating empathy, design, and progressive care to build the most elevated end-to-end product, while also improving the quality of care itself. We’re not simply “normalizing” mental health care; we’re celebrating it.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR JOB SEEKERS -- PLEASE READ
Unauthorized individuals claiming to be Real employees are extending false employment offers to steal money and personal information from job seekers. They are using legitimate websites and social media platforms and may use an unauthorized Real logo and employee name. Do not engage if you believe communication is fraudulent.
Real employees communicate using email addresses that end with **@join-real.com.**
**Real will never request money or credit card information or ask for personal details like address, social security number, bank information, or tax documents early in the interview process.**
If you suspect you’ve encountered an instance of recruitment fraud:
- To report a suspicious email or job ad, hi@join-real.com and include as much detail as possible (any documentation will assist us).
- Report the email address as “Phishing” through your email provider. This will help get the email account shut down.
- If you believe you have been a victim of online recruitment fraud, contact the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at [ic3.gov](https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx)
Real takes this very seriously and we hope by sharing this information we can prevent potential jobseekers from interacting with these scams.
