Supplier management
Our value chain runs from upstream printers and teaching faculty to a complete K-12 learning platform for students and families.
Value chain

Core activities span course design and development, enrolment and marketing, teaching and tutoring, assessment of student outcomes, and parent and student relations, supported by teaching-resource R&D, digital-platform development, human resources, operations and brand strategy. Downstream sits a complete K-12 learning platform.

- FY2024 annual audits completed for the top 20 suppliers, all fully passed.
- Environmental and social impact assessments found no negative-impact suppliers among screened printers or faculty.
- No suppliers required remediation, and no contracts were terminated.
