The radical notion that teaching and learning can feel fun, like play.

What is Histrionix Learning?

Histrionix Learning is a Houston-based, teacher-owned instructional design company that provides engaging standards-aligned programs, games and classroom support services.

Histrionix Learning programs and products cover core content and build important new 21st century skills, like design thinking, creative problem-solving, strategic planning and prototyping — among others.

We support students as creators, teachers as designers and education as experience.

Professional. Classroom. Support.

Teachers are among the only professionals without support staff to help them with their many daily tasks and responsibilities both big and small - until now.

Histrionix Learning offers teacher retention solutions that provide professional classroom support services designed to stem the tide of the K-12 educator exodus by pairing them with experienced experts who help lift their burden and build their practice at the same time. That way, teachers get professional classroom support from experienced experts who are there to help them see sustainable student success and bring down daily stress levels.

From lesson planning, coaching, co-teaching and customized content creation, and more, our Pro Teacher “solutionists” help their teacher clients get where they want to go and bring their best ideas to life.

Are you the next great world leader?  Test your skills with Historia, a choose-your-own-adventure-styled social studies simulation and strategy game that covers 4,000 years of world history from ancient times to modern day.  In the beginning, student teams travel through time to start their very own civilization from scratch - as a real, working government - by investing smartly in the economy, education, military and science & technology. 

Along the way, they will discover the people and places that make Historia happen - like the Persian Empire, the Roman Empire and ancient China - among many others  As the story unfolds - and student governments solve problems and make decisions - the team’s history is made round by round through interactive game play. And yes, it is as fun as it sounds.

Historia is coming soon, so if you are interested, join our community of beta testers for the coming school year. Game on!

Historia Is History-In-The-Making

“We learn best by experience and when we enjoy what we are doing. So games and game play are right there at the nexus of these two pedagogical pillars – which is what makes game-based learning such a powerful approach to education.”
