About Us
Promethean's aim is to unlock the potential of human achievement in education and training at all ages around the world. It does so by creating, developing, supplying and supporting leading edge, interactive learning technology and by encouraging the growth of the world's largest online teacher community in this field. In these ways, Promethean is helping bring to life the promise of 21st century learning, improving engagement and results for learners and teachers alike.
Leading Edge Teaching Solutions
Promethean is a world leader in the rapidly growing global market for interactive learning technology. Like our namesake, Prometheus, we strive to bring the light of knowledge to the world. Our success is the result of a sincere desire to encourage and create innovative education solutions. Our ActivClassroom is an industry-leading, comprehensive 21st century classroom solution.
Proven Ideas, Driven by Technology
Everything we do at Promethean begins with two basic premises:
1 - No one understands teaching better than teachers.
2 - The best way to engage tech-savvy students is through technology.
By thoughtfully combining these two simple ideas, Promethean is revolutionising the way education happens.
Promethean leverages the real-world knowledge that these former educators bring in developing all of our products, solutions and support services. They help guide our specialised engineers in the creation of innovative, relevant, user-friendly education solutions -- solutions that work together to form an holistic education environment that we call The ActivClassroom.
