About Educational Options
For more than ten years, Educational Options has helped thousands of students stay in school and become lifelong learners. Our mission is to create outstanding web-based educational products that support students and teachers inside and outside the traditional classroom.

Founded by educators, Educational Options set out to provide schools with more solutions to keep students engaged in the learning process. Today, our team of highly-qualified teachers and education professionals are proud to carry on this tradition. We are dedicated to helping students succeed.

What distinguishes Educational Options from other companies is our belief that the teacher is the single most important link in the learning process. Our goal is to support teachers with powerful tools to leverage their effectiveness and enhance their capabilities.  We collaborate with teachers, not replace them.

Educational Options is accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools and certified by the Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation.

Services Overview
Academic success is different for each student. On any given day, you encounter students who are struggling to make it to graduation, students who need more flexibility, or students who want to earn their GED. Meeting a broad range of academic abilities and goals in one classroom can be overwhelming, but there is a solution.

With Educational Options' Stars Suite, students can have the flexibility they need to connect with teachers and curriculum and to grow the skills necessary to succeed.

The Stars Suite is a comprehensive, web-based solution featuring adaptive technology and a rigorous curriculum designed to help middle school, high school, and adult learners reach their academic goals.

We believe teachers play the most important role in the learning process, and we provide the best tools to strengthen the student-teacher relationship.

With the Stars Suite of programs, you can give your students more options to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

No software to install. Our web-based products are available any time from anywhere in the world. With the Stars Suite, you never have to install our products, and we perform all of the updates. All you need is a basic internet connection.

Instant Feedback. Our automated system provides instant assessments, grading, and feedback, relieving most of your administrative burden. More one-on-one time with your students means an even stronger relationship in the classroom.

Personalized Support. From the moment you choose us, we provide personal support to ensure you have the best experience possible. On-site visits, online video training, and expert phone support are the pillars of our customer service. We're available when you need us!

How It Works. Students can either take the full course including lessons, submissions and a final exam, just like one of Novel's delivery modes or choose a second mode called “adaptive assessment.”

Within adaptive assessment mode, students take an initial assessment exam and then receive a prescribed course of study. Items students have mastered are marked as “complete,” while non-mastered topics are marked as “new.” Students work through the new concepts and take a follow up assessment, which covers all of the new topics as well as the concepts previously identified as “complete” to ensure the student truly understands everything.

The preparation programs will then regenerate a course of study based on the follow up assessment. Students will not be permitted to continue on to a new course of study unless they have mastered the concepts or an educator allows them to move on. Otherwise, the student can continue cycling through the program until all concepts are mastered.

While mastery levels are currently adjustable within our Novel product, the preparation products' (TestPak, High School Prep and GED Duo) mastery level is set at 80 percent and cannot be altered.
