📚 Back to school means new students, new schedules, and a lot to keep track of. Your certification platform shouldn’t be one more thing to worry about.

Knowledge Pillars has had a Back-to-School Refresh, and we’re excited for teachers to see what’s new! 🎉

From updated curriculum and customizable practice tests to hands-on coding and WordPress labs, real-time results, and new tools to support your students, we’ve been working to make your experience even better.

Already using Knowledge Pillars? Your classrooms, student accounts, and previous results are right where you left them. Just log in and keep going!

👀 Take a look at what’s new, what’s staying familiar, and what’s coming soon.

Back to school season is officially here! 💙

We had a great morning in the Expo Hall at Seminole County Public Schools' CTE PD Day, connecting with the CTE teachers who are welcoming students back for the 2026-2027 school year.
Thank you to SCPS ePathways for having us. To all of the teachers we met: we are excited to be part of your year, and we are looking forward to celebrating a lot of students earning their Knowledge Pillars certifications.

Have a fantastic school year, Seminole County!
