It all started with a shared dream. Two friends wanted to give their children (and all children) a better English learning experience than they had.In 2017, Novakid was born, with a mission to grow a global community of young English learners who'll feel at home anywhere in the world.
In 2017, Novakid was born, with a mission to grow a global community of young English learners who'll feel at home anywhere in the world.
But that was just the beginning. Driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to excellence, our founders continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in English learning.
They believe that every child deserves the best, and that's why they're always exploring new ways to make Novakid even more engaging, effective, and fun.
