To maximize reach despite limited resources in schools, PERTS develops, tests, and scales evidence-based solutions, collaborating with hundreds of partner organizations. Based in San Francisco, California, PERTS was founded in 2010 at Stanford University and operates as a nonprofit focused on education. Its primary audience comprises educators worldwide, and it works with partner organizations to implement learning conditions that support engagement and accelerate learning outcomes.
