Question 1

How is Circles different from other approaches?

Accepted Answer

Circles creates small learning communities of 2-5 people who learn together. Our technology facilitates meaningful connections while maintaining the flexibility of online learning. Each group sets their own schedule, and our platform guides them through structured learning activities.

Question 2

What types of courses work best with Circles?

Accepted Answer

Circles excels in programs that benefit from discussion, peer learning, and practical application. This includes leadership development, communication skills, teaching methodologies, and technical skills.

Question 3

What results can we expect?

Accepted Answer

Our programs achieve completion rates above 90%. The group's social commitment creates accountability and motivation that last throughout the program. Live sessions, a steady weekly rhythm, and instructor support keep participants engaged from start to finish — nobody has to push through alone.

Question 4

How does it work logistically?

Accepted Answer

Participants join the platform and form learning groups of 2-5 people based on shared availability and interests. Each group sets a fixed weekly meeting time. Our platform structures their learning journey through weekly guided sessions, where groups meet virtually or in person. Participants receive feedback from instructors after each session.

Question 5

How does group formation work?

Accepted Answer

Circles operates as a social network where participants "match" with peers of their choice, sharing interests, schedules, and preferences as if they were learning in person or online. We can also support organizations with pre-assigned groups.

Question 6

What is Circles' learning approach?

Accepted Answer

We believe effective learning happens through active engagement and meaningful human connection. Our platform guides small groups through structured activities that combine individual preparation, group discussion, and practical application. Rather than passive content consumption, participants learn by doing, teaching others, and receiving personalized feedback.

Question 7

How do I know Circles works?

Accepted Answer

Over 5,000 teachers across 400+ schools have learned with Circles. Our approach is grounded in the principles of social learning, active learning, and continuous feedback. We can organize a pilot program so you can experience our methodology firsthand with a group from your institution.

Question 8

Who builds your content?

Accepted Answer

Our content is developed by subject matter experts in collaboration with our learning design team to ensure it takes full advantage of our small-group methodology. We combine academic expertise with practical industry experience to create engaging, relevant learning experiences.

Question 9

Can my organization build and deliver custom content?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer two options: We can work with your subject matter experts to adapt existing training materials, or our learning design team can develop custom content based on your requirements. Our platform includes tools that make it easy to create and modify content while maintaining the engaging, social learning experience.
