OUR MISSION
Without high-speed Internet access at home, Americans can’t send their children to school, work remotely, or access healthcare, job training, the social safety net, or critical government services. EducationSuperHighway’s mission is to close the digital divide for the 17 million households that have access to the Internet but can’t afford to connect. We focus on America’s most unconnected communities, where more than 25% of people don’t have Internet.

A HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE
Approximately 28.2 million of the 122.8 million households in the United States do not have high-speed broadband.
Nearly two-thirds of unconnected households have access to a home broadband connection but are offline because they cannot afford to connect. Closing this broadband affordability gap has become a national priority.
47 million students are connected, and 99.3% of America’s schools have a high-speed broadband connection.
