Both Anderton and FlashAcademy® were recognised in the prestigious EdTech 50 report earlier this year for efforts in making language as accessible as possible for a student population speaking over 30 different languages. Judges for the report commented at the time that “[FlashAcademy® and Anderton] identified a problem and helped develop a technological tool to solve it.
