MIT launched the MIT4America Calculus Project in 2025 to address the lack of calculus access in US high schools, partnering with underresourced schools through long-distance tutoring by MIT students and alumni.

Santana Cruz, a high school student in Bristol, Virginia, earned over 100 college credits and two associate degrees through CLEP exams, which allow students to demonstrate mastery in 34 subjects. Steve Klinsky founded the Modern States Education Alliance to provide free online courses aligned with CLEP exams and expand access to college credits. CLEP exams, unlike AP exams, offer flexibility but lack tied coursework, prompting initiatives to address this gap.
