The platform StaEllinika will be utilised by select schools of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, in collaboration with the Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs, the SNF Centre for Hellenic Studies at Simon Fraser University and supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).

The platform has been adopted as the official tool of the Greek Secretariat of Greeks Abroad, for learning and teaching the Greek language, mythology and elements of Greek culture in the Greek Diaspora.
A beta version was released at the end of April, targeting individual students, and within four weeks it reached 7,000 registered students from 106 countries. The final version of the platform will be available in the fall of 2020
