THE ABCYA STORY

In 2004, Alan and Lisa started new jobs as public school teachers in New Jersey.
Like many teachers, they were excited to share the joys of education with their
classrooms. Unfortunately, like many teachers, they quickly discovered that
finding quality resources to help students succeed was a challenge, and that the
school’s budget was stretched too thin to purchase new learning software to
supplement their lesson plans.

The free online options weren’t a good choice, either. In Alan’s words, they
were “a never-ending labyrinth of sites for kids loaded with violence, difficult
navigation, and inappropriate ads!” However, Alan remained undaunted. His
self-taught knowledge of programming and previous experience as a graphic
designer prepared him to take matters into his own hands.

With a plan to gamify educational lessons, Alan developed several learning
activities for his computer classes. He came up with a fun domain
name—ABCya.com—to host his games, and began using them with his students. Before
long, he noticed that other teachers were also using his website in their own
classes, not realizing that its creator was one of their colleagues!

Alan continued to develop and perfect games for ABCya.com, eventually venturing
into the creation of stand-alone apps. In 2011, his Math BINGO app soared to the
top of the educational category in the iTunes store. It was also featured on
Apple’s website and installed on demo iPads at hundreds of Apple retail stores
across the U.S. Today, millions of users each month play ABCya’s desktop games
and apps, logging over a billion games played just in 2017.

As VP of ABCya, Lisa relies on her experience as an educator, and as a parent,
to keep ABCya dedicated to the company’s founding principles: creating
educational games that keep learning fun.
