FOR SCHOOLS & DISTRICTS

Same teachers.
Same curriculum.
More impact.

You’ve already invested in your teachers and your curriculum. Missions help both pay off in every classroom.

Your portrait of a graduate, measured.

Everyone promises human skills: collaboration, critical thinking, initiative, and resilience. In a Mission, the class uses them to solve a real problem together, and every student gets a report on how well they did.

The skills a school promises its graduates, practiced in a Mission, and measured on every student’s report.

Promised

Your portrait of a graduate

  1. Takes initiative
  2. Collaborates with anyone
  3. Thinks critically
  4. Keeps going when it gets hard

Practiced

Students crowded around their laptops in the middle of a Mission, some seated, some standing to see.

Nobody gets through a Mission alone.

Measured

4 Beyond · 3 Proficient · 2 Progressing · 1 Beginning

Each report covers the skills that Mission is built to capture.

That’s our demo student. He’s still working on two of them.

“Students who don’t like to participate and share in class often are the students that take the most initiative and share the most during missions.”
Jennifer Jellum, South Kearns Elementary, Granite School District, UT
TALK TO US

It rides on the curriculum you already bought.

A district license maps Missions to the units your teachers already teach, one by one. The lesson becomes their preparation; the Mission is where they use it.

“After we have learned about a standard my students are able to apply their acquired knowledge to complete a mission together.”

The more Missions a class runs, the more students grow.

In a study of 1,039 fifth graders, funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences and conducted by Instructure, students who ran Missions knew more, wrote better, and were more engaged.

About the study

A quasi-experimental study of 1,039 fifth graders in 53 classrooms in one district, 2025-26, by Instructure (Bautista et al., 2026). It meets What Works Clearinghouse baseline equivalence standards. The favorable effects were concentrated in classes where a STEM teacher ran Missions on rotation; classes where the core teacher ran them showed no significant favorable effects. The content test was co-developed by Mission.io and Instructure.

Either way, your teachers get the same Missions.

Every purchase gets questioned. This one has answers.

Asked about screen time? Most screen time makes kids look down, alone. A Mission makes the whole class look up: at each other, at the problem, at their teacher.

Forwarding this to your business office? This is the row.

Try it with your staff before anyone signs.

  1. A free faculty Mission

    Run one at your next leadership or staff meeting. Your team works through it as a crew, the way students do.

    RUN A FACULTY MISSION
  2. A full-school trial

    Any time of year, we’ll set up a trial for your whole staff before anyone signs anything, so your teachers run Missions with their classes and you see the impact for yourself.

Do we need a new curriculum?

No. Missions map to the curriculum you already teach. The lesson becomes your students’ preparation; the Mission is where they use it.

How much prep do teachers need?

5 minutes. Watch the Teacher Preview and you’re ready to lead. Missions typically run 30 to 45 minutes.
