Our take
Age of Learning creates and distributes digital educational material to schools, educators, and families. The company's programs have been used worldwide to educate millions of children through a range of stories and games, many of which feature its main character ABCmouse.
As with many trends, the move to digitise education was accelerated by the global pandemic, with how children are taught reshaped by at-home classes and remote learning. Age of Learning has capitalised on the eagerness of parents and schools to continue embracing new technologies, launching its Personalised Mastery Learning Ecosystem for schools, which enables teachers, families, and administrators to focus on the individual learning needs of students and accelerate literacy and maths skills through technology and learning science.
And this approach to education hasn't gone unnoticed, with the company named one of TIME's Top EdTech Companies of 2024 alongside making the GSV 150 list of Most Transformational Growth Companies in Digital Learning and Workforce Skills. Strengthening the company's reputation, Age of Learning is ready for continued growth and to shape the future of digital learning.
