Carnegie Learning joins a select national cohort piloting research-driven solutions to support teachers and boost student outcomes nationwide.

Carnegie Learning, a leader in AI-driven technology, curriculum, and professional learning solutions for K-12 education, today announced that its high-impact tutoring program won a competitive Evidence for Impact (EFI) grant from Accelerate, a national nonprofit working at the nexus of policy, research, and practice to scale high-impact tutoring.

Accelerate received over 160 strong applications, and Carnegie Learning’s proposal stood out as one that has the potential to improve student outcomes and advance the field of individualized instruction. This is the second grant the company has been awarded from Accelerate, having received a Call to Effective Action (CEA) grant last year to support high-impact tutoring services for middle and high school students.

With the University of Michigan’s Youth Policy Lab, Carnegie Learning is launching a rigorous Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) in the 2025–26 school year to measure the impact of its high-impact math tutoring program on middle and high school student achievement. The study will include at least 350 students across two schools. It will examine overall math gains and outcomes for special populations such as students with IEPs, multilingual learners, and economically disadvantaged students.

“We are deeply committed to empowering every student with the mathematical proficiency and ELA skills they need to succeed," said Barry Malkin, CEO of Carnegie Learning. "This study underscores our unwavering dedication to evidence-based education and our belief in the transformative power of high-impact tutoring. We’re excited to demonstrate high-impact tutoring’s impact on student achievement – particularly for those who need it most – and use those findings to inform educational practice.”

High-impact tutoring and effective classroom technology deliver major gains for underserved students, but schools often lack resources to scale them effectively. This funding provides stronger evidence on both interventions while helping states and districts implement these proven strategies.

“States need solutions they can use now. With CET and EFI, Accelerate is putting proven tutoring and classroom technology to work in public schools and giving leaders clear answers about what works for which students, so they can scale it with confidence,” said Kevin Huffman, CEO of Accelerate.
