ABOUT LEARN-NOW
Learn-Now was established in 2002, with Ministry of Education eLearning research and development funds.
Its roots began in 1997 and later became an award winning programme for its style & outcomes. In more recent years, it's been further endorsed by several MOE reps, including ERO, principals, tertiary sector 'shoulder taps' and this year, by teams as far as Asia.
​
Initially, it was similar to being an online school - it had its own teachers, curriculum, resourcing and students (and unlike schools - its own research base).
​
Now, while it'll maintain its learn 'now' ethos, it moves into a phase which partners with the Sustainable Development Goals with the UN - within 'KidzClubz'. That's its programming base - and the creatively interactive factor we facilitate for the kids.
