Our 10th year anniversary and a trusted brand on both sides of the Atlantic, with a combined total of over 12,000 subscribing schools! 

The UK team has moved to new purpose built premises with over 9.000sq ft of office space.

Applauded at the industry awards, nominated as a finalist for a BETT Award as well as two ERA Awards.

So far this year we have successfully added:

• Play Live - our new multi-player maths tournaments
• German Key Stage 1
• Topic Tools for Literacy
• Topic Tools for Maths

• Community forum
   

EducationCity.com started off 2008 in style, winning an ERA Award in its Early Years category.

New product launches included:

• Key Stage 1 Tests
• Activity sheets for whiteboard use

Our Chicago office moved to larger premises to facilitate their expansion to 30 staff members.

By the end of the year, EducationCity.com had over 9,000 schools subscribing to it and had generated revenues of £5 million.
 

Over the course of 2007, we successfully:

• Added the Tests module to its Key Stage 2 Maths product
• Launched its German and Spanish MFL modules
• Integrated phonics-based activities within its Foundation Literacy
• Enhanced its Curriculum Map to include new Topic Filter functionality
• Extended the scope of its activities with printable activity sheets

EducationCity.com met with success again at the awards, being nominated as a finalist by ERA and the Leicestershire Business Awards.

The US team moved to larger premises to support the growth of the company.

By the end of the year, it had over 5,000 schools subscribing to it.
 

By 2006, EducationCity.com was a well recognised name in the UK’s education sector. It had over 3,000 schools subscribing to it, and was both a 2006 BETT Award winner and double ERA Award Finalist.

Not one to rest on its laurels, however, EducationCity.com remained committed to its programme of ongoing improvement, evidenced in 2006 by the launch of its Homework module, designed specifically to help teachers deliver the Government’s “learning anytime, anywhere” vision.

2006 was also the year EducationCity.com took the key strategic decision to launch in the United States and opened offices in October in Illinois.
 

With the advent of the Government’s elearning strategy, EducationCity.com developed and launched its SuccessTracker module and myCity feature.

These ground-breaking developments took EducationCity.com to the next level, offering teachers much appreciated support in tracking their pupils’ performance, allowing them to differentiate the learning in their classrooms effectively - and making personalised learning a real possibility!

By the end of 2005, EducationCity.com had over 1,500 subscribing schools.
 

Building on its success in England and Wales where it now had 650 schools, EducationCity.com tailored itself to the Scottish curriculum in 2004 and started to market itself in Scotland.

At the same time, in response to requests from parents who were hearing their children enthuse about EducationCity.com after school, the company launched its home product. This not only facilitated learning in the home setting, it also enabled parents to get more involved too.
 

In 2003, EducationCity.com launched its Curriculum Map feature in response to feedback from its growing subscriber base of 250 schools.

Integral to its success, EducationCity.com’s new-found ability to link activities to the learning objectives enhanced the resource’s usability and made it a firm favourite with teaching staff.
 

In 2002, with a portfolio of over 100 Maths, Literacy, Science and French activities, EducationCity.com was launched into schools in England.

In 1999, initial work began by a team of 5 people on a 3 year development project to design online elearning content for primary schools.

The characters Stig, Sten, Manu and Klara are created (later receiving a facelift in 2008).

At the time the resource was called EducationCity.net (changing to EducationCity.com in 2003).
