SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Edgenuity, a leader in online and blended learning solutions, today announced a major acquisition that will expand Edgenuity’s reach across the entire K-12 educational spectrum – empowering schools to achieve their academic goals and improve outcomes for all students. Edgenuity has acquired education software provider Compass Learning, creating the market’s most powerful and comprehensive suite of digital curriculum products.
“Quality education must start from day one and now is the right time for a provider that can span each critical stage of learning, from elementary to the middle grades to high school, and deliver improved student outcomes across the board,” said Sari Factor, CEO of Edgenuity. “Edgenuity is the leader in courseware for grades 6-12 and Compass Learning has enjoyed a long history in the market for intervention and skills instruction in K-8 math, reading and language arts.
