Our Mission
The single factor that has the highest impact on the prosperity and well-being of humankind is education. Still, technology has not yet delivered on any of its promises for better learning. At Kognity, we have set out to change this. Our Vision is to radically improve learning for the world’s 1.5 billion school students.
Kognity is a cloud-based platform that redefines learning by increasing student engagement and allowing more progressive teaching methods. It is used in over 1100+ schools across 110+ countries and provides curriculum-aligned textbooks for IBDP and Cambridge IGCSE™️ curricula. However, this is just the beginning of our journey.
