Our first U.S. school is right here in Fairfax County. We plan to have 15,000 kids in the U.S. by the end of the Summer break. Our training in this area is focused on using technology to support all subject areas including English, Foreign Language, and Social Studies.

They wanted to upgrade their program, but they didn t have the funding or the expertise to do it.
