Our K-12 Esports Programs in Action

See what our customers have to say about us.

“The biggest thing that I've learned through working with the students and going through the curriculum is building a team and working on communication skills. Those are skills that not only help them within the classroom but they can also take outside of school and into the real world.”

Steven Van Smaalen

Math Teacher, Santiago M.S.

“The kids are super excited esports. They love gaming together and esports has brought in this whole group of kids that don't normally get connected in those extra activities, and so we've really tapped into a new group of kids.”

Susan Denton

Academic Improvement Specialist,
Standard School District

“It's not just kids playing video games, there's more to it. Don't be afraid to try something new. It can really give students who don't have a place to fit in an area where this is their forte. Something that will help them connect in the education process.”
