About us
Mission
Our mission is to ensure universal access to quality, holistic education for children across Ethiopia. We achieve this by building and deploying a dynamic, technology-enabled learning ecosystem that seamlessly blends in-person and virtual instruction. Through our customized Learning Management System (LMS), we deliver a rich, blended curriculum—integrating core subjects like math, English, and reading from both Ethiopian and US educational traditions—to students anywhere, regardless of location.
Vision
Our vision is to create a suitable learning environment for children in Ethiopia through the integration of a Learning Management System (LMS), facilitating both in-person and virtual educational experiences. This approach will enable them to learn math, English—drawing from both Ethiopian and US curricula—reading, as well as other subjects, while developing their personal, social, linguistic, and intellectual capacities to their full potential.
