Cheers to a Decade! Shaping the Future of Learning with Kognity
Ten years ago, Kognity began with a simple, yet profound ambition: to revolutionize education. Born from a family of educators and a passion for delivering real educational value to students, the journey started with a belief that technology could unlock meaningful learning experiences for every student, everywhere.
Today, as we celebrate our 10th birthday, we invite our incredible community of educators and students to look back at the milestones that have shaped our path, and forward to the exciting future we’re building, together.
Our Journey Begins: The First Five Years of Digital Transformation
Kognity’s story officially began in 2015 with the launch of our first curriculum, the IB Diploma Programme (IB DP). This marked Kognity as a pioneering digital-first resource, setting the stage for how technology could transform high school learning.
Building on that foundation, 2017 saw the launch of Cambridge IGCSE, expanding Kognity’s reach and reinforcing our commitment to international education. This was quickly followed by IGCSE endorsement in 2018, solidifying our credibility in the global education space.
By 2019, Kognity was already being used in over 100 countries, a testament to the universal need for engaging, effective digital learning.

Pioneering New Milestones in Education
Kognity’s journey reached exciting new milestones in 2022.
Kognity became the IBO’s first and only digital first publishing partner. This landmark collaboration underscored our deep commitment to the IB community and positioned us at the forefront of digital curriculum development.
The launch of High School Science also marked Kognity’s entry into the U.S. market with NGSS-aligned content. The focus on science was deliberate – driven by a passion for cultivating critical thinkers and “intellectual explorers,” and addressing the long-underserved needs of science education with phenomena-based learning.
Kognity’s Driving Purpose: Impact for Every Learner, Everywhere
Beyond commercial growth, Kognity was founded with a deep ambition to make a real difference in the world, with a belief that every child deserves a quality education, regardless of their background or location.
From affluent schools to underserved communities across 120+ countries – from Rwanda to China, the Middle East, North and South America, and across Europe – Kognity’s goal is to inspire every student.
Across the global educational landscape, immense challenges persist: issues like student disengagement, the inefficiency of “one-size-fits-all” approaches, and the ever-present challenge of teacher workload.
This is why Kognity set out to rebuild the textbook experience from scratch, delivering an interactive web application designed for the 21st century.

The commitment to teacher-driven enhancements and a student-centric experience has firmly established Kognity as one of the top EdTech companies in the world today.
