Los Angeles Unified School District Chooses ClassVR from Avantis Education to Bring Immersive Virtual Reality Learning to Students

Chicago, (October 23, 2024) — Los Angeles Unified School District (Los Angeles Unified) has chosen ClassVR from Avantis Education, a global leader in educational virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technology, to introduce groundbreaking immersive learning experiences to students. With more than 16,000 ClassVR headsets deployed, this collaboration supports Los Angeles Unified’s Instructional Technology Initiative and is designed to provide the district’s students with access to cutting-edge VR and AR tools to enhance student engagement and enrich academic instruction.

ClassVR, designed exclusively for K-12 classrooms, provides an all-in-one immersive learning solution which includes all the hardware, software, training and support required to successfully deploy VR/AR. Through the collaboration, Los Angeles Unified educators can access ClassVR’s vast Eduverse library — housing hundreds of thousands of virtual reality and augmented reality resources — allowing teachers to create captivating, interactive lessons that engage students on a deeper level.

Empowering Schools with Immersive Technology

Avantis Education has been a trusted partner of Los Angeles Unified for two years, providing virtual reality experiences that spark curiosity and inspire learning across the district. Initially adopted by a few schools, ClassVR’s success has led to its rapid expansion. Many Los Angeles Unified schools now utilize their own ClassVR headsets for both in-class instruction and extracurricular enrichment programs, fostering a dynamic learning environment where students can explore everything from history and science to career and technical education, all through the immersive lens of virtual reality.

This latest collaboration will focus on enrichment programs before and after school, with significant potential for broader applications across a wide array of academic disciplines. The collaboration positions Los Angeles Unified as a leader in using immersive learning technologies to offer students, impactful educational experiences that enhance academic outcomes.

“Los Angeles Unified has demonstrated its commitment to being a pioneer in educational technology by placing students at the forefront of innovative learning tools,” said Huw Williams, CEO of Avantis Education. “Through our collaboration, we’re proud to help the district expand its use of VR technology in a thoughtful, strategic way, supporting the district’s vision of making learning more engaging and future-focused.”
