Scale university-grade learning outcomes with elite university curriculum and AI-driven credentialing.
edX for Schools, powered by 2U, represents the enterprise-grade extension of the global edX marketplace, specifically architected for K-12 systems, higher education institutions, and government bodies. As of 2026, the platform leverages the Open edX micro-services architecture to deliver a modular, API-first learning experience that integrates seamlessly with existing Student Information Systems (SIS). The technical core is built on LTI 1.3 standards, allowing schools to 'plug and play' content from over 250 elite global partners including MIT, Harvard, and Oxford directly into their local LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle). A critical component of the 2026 roadmap is the edX Xpert AI assistant, which utilizes RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) against course-specific datasets to provide 24/7 academic support. The platform is positioned as a bridge between traditional academic degrees and the 'skills-first' economy, offering verified MicroMasters, Professional Certificates, and Executive Education tracks that can be mapped to internal credit systems. Its infrastructure supports multi-tenant deployments, enabling large-scale school districts to manage disparate learner cohorts while maintaining centralized administrative oversight and data privacy compliance.
