Research-Based School Education Programs That Strengthen Retention
Simple Solutions partners with individual schools — public and private — across the country to address a persistent challenge: students forget most of what they learn within weeks of instruction. Our school education programs use proven cognitive science strategies to change that pattern, helping students build lasting understanding rather than temporary memorization.
Whether you’re a small private school or a large public elementary, our supplementary materials integrate seamlessly with your existing curriculum and schedule. Reach out to our team for specific information, or learn more below.

How Our School Education Programs Work
Simple Solutions school education programs use three cognitive science strategies proven to strengthen long-term retention:
- Retrieval Practice — Students actively recall information rather than passively reviewing it. This mental effort strengthens memory pathways and builds automatic recall—the difference between knowing material temporarily and truly mastering it.
- Spaced Practice (Spiraling) — Concepts reappear systematically throughout the year at strategic intervals. Students encounter important material repeatedly in different contexts, preventing forgetting and ensuring skills remain accessible months later.
- Interleaving (Mixed Practice) — Each lesson combines different types of problems and concepts, forcing students to identify problem types and select appropriate strategies. This develops the flexible thinking needed for assessments and real-world application.
Just 10-15 minutes daily using these strategies produces measurable results: stronger retention, improved test performance, and students who remember in May what they learned in September. Learn more about the research behind our approach.
