Schools Online is the educational division of Relief International. It is a public benefit 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to help students gain access and use the communication and information resources of the Internet for learning and cross-cultural dialogue. We accomplish this by providing appropriate technology and Internet access, developing locally-driven and sustainable Internet Learning Centers, facilitating teacher professional development, cultivating online cross-cultural projects, and sharing our knowledge and experience. Since 1996, over 5,700 under-served schools in the US and over 400 schools in 35 other countries have received equipment and support necessary to get online.

Schools Online assesses the state of connectivity in each local environment and works with each country's telecom providers and local businesses to provide affordable lease-lines, ISDN and wireless technologies, where possible. Students work together on collaborative projects over the Internet to solve problems affecting their every day lives. Teachers are trained to take steps beyond their traditional experiences in education to identify, use and share their most effective practices to maximize Internet use.

With access to the Internet and World Wide Web, 9,000 teachers and 250,000 students are pushing beyond early industry tools, using state-of-the-art yet easily maintainable technology.
