We exist to fight for fairness in education and create a world where everyone can discover and fulfill their potential.

Education has power—a power that changes lives forever. It creates opportunities that lift individuals and their families, and it sparks change that can positively impact the lives of learners for generations. ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍøwas born more than 65 years ago from the then-radical idea that all students can be prepared for college through classroom learning.  From the very beginning, ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍøhas strived to ensure that all students—regardless of their background or zip code—have the opportunity to know, build, and document their readiness to succeed after high school.

ACT’s true strength comes from sharing our expertise in research and the application of data, and then partnering with others to learn, adapt, and do what’s needed to ensure fairness and improve education and career outcomes for all students. 

Our mission is to help people succeed along their education and career journeys. We believe education can deliver success on an unlimited scale. We care deeply about every learner, and we strive to ensure everyone has the opportunity to fulfill their potential and become the heroes they know they can be. For budding minds, the thinkers and the doers, we help to reveal the answers they need and widen their understanding of where learning can take them. By playing our part, everyone can discover and fulfill their potential.

As we develop solutions across K-career landscapes, we empower educators and support learners at all stages of their journey. We help to create life-changing opportunities that breakdown barriers. The innovations and tools that ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍøbrings to the field are designed to open doors for learners and position ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍøas a catalyst for change that will transform and expand education and career opportunities.

We are committed to creating a world that supports and encourages individuals to reach their full potential, contribute to the health and success of their families, communities, and be part of the country’s cultural and economic well-being.
