Age of Learning: Our Story, Our Approach
Age of Learning was founded in 2007, led by a team of successful technology
entrepreneurs and education experts who worked for nearly four years developing
the revolutionary education product ABCmouse Early Learning Academy. Launched
in November 2010, ABCmouse quickly became the leading digital learning product
for young children, serving millions of families and teachers and earning numerous
prestigious awards. ABCmouse is now regularly ranked as a top children’s learning
iPad®, iPhone®, and Android™ app in both the Kids and Education categories. In
multiple large-scale studies, ABCmouse helped significantly improve children’s early
reading and/or math skills.
Our Approach to English Language
Learning (ELL)
Since 2011, Age of Learning has been working with
early learning centers and private kindergartens
in China to help children develop and improve
their English ability with ABCmouse. Now, a new
language learning product has been developed
that provides young students around the world with
a developmentally appropriate English language
immersion experience. ABCmouse English Language
Learning Academy teaches English in a natural way,
beginning with listening
and speaking activities
that help children quickly
develop vocabulary
and conversational
skills. Once students
have learned to speak
and understand simple
English, they progress
to reading and writing.
Each ABCmouse lesson
is introduced with an
engaging animated
story that centers around
an American teacher and six children in an
international school.
ELL_Enterprise_6pgFlyer_42_ISTE.indd 4-6
with an animated episode featuring a class of
young English learners, and continues with a series
of engaging activities, each of which has specific
learning objectives related to the conversations
that are modeled in the animation.
