Engrade, based in Los Angeles, California, was founded in 2003 by a great team of successful internet entrepreneurs who wanted to use their talents to help the world. Over the years, Engrade has grown by leaps and bounds, being adopted by teachers and schools in all 50 states and in countries across the world. Today Engrade has more than 1,500,000 members. We're very proud to do our part to help educators improve the lives of students around the world. Our service is truly free and will remain free. We are able to offer Engrade free of charge because we have been fortunate in past businesses, allowing us to volunteer our talents and to pay for expenses out of our own pockets. In the future we may add optional premium services (for example, a service to send student transcripts to colleges) to help pay for costs, but we'll always keep the main features free. Many teachers ask us if their information will stay private and secure on our service, and we can assure you that it will. We take our users privacy very seriously.
