The Jacaranda difference
Personal. Effortful. Rewarding.
Students need learning tools that have been purpose‑built and perfectly pitched so they can understand, learn and progress.
Only when challenged can you truly learn deeply. Progress happens when you need to draw on knowledge and skills to come up with a solution.
Every student should have those ‘aha!’ moments, experience success and feel proud of their achievements.
Because both what and how students learn matter
JacPLUS provides premium teaching and learning resources that enable every student to take the next step, no matter where they are.
