Fulfilling our promise of achievement
After 17 years of proven experience driving academic results in the classroom and providing superior educational value and cost effective solutions, the education management company formerly known as Edison Schools, is now EdisonLearning™. This company transformation is only one part of a series of major initiatives and acquisitions designed to position EdisonLearning as the leader in technology and innovation at the service of public school educators.
EdisonLearning
With the acquisition of pioneering education software company Provost Systems®, based in Santa Clara, Calif., EdisonLearning extends its client base, serving over 350,000 children in 21 states and in the United Kingdom. The purchase of Provost Systems, the creation of a new innovative school design, and the formal launch of The EdisonLearning Institute™ – the company’s research and development arm – combine to strengthen EdisonLearning’s capacity to deliver a greater number of research-driven solutions for current and new online clients with improved efficiency and effectiveness.
EdisonLearning Online
There is no single solution to addressing the diverse learning needs of all K-12 student populations across all demographics, and public educators demand a range of products and services to meet their needs. With the addition of Provost Systems, EdisonLearning combines its 17 years of experience and core competencies in teaching and learning with a fully integrated online and Web-based technology solution that can dramatically achieve universal student access to a genuine, individualized learning experience. The acquisition also builds upon the company’s strategy of offering school designs and achievement services to a broader array of clients.
The EdisonLearning Institute
The EdisonLearning Institute will be responsible for developing research-based, customizable school designs that focus on improving quality of instruction and creation of high achievement cultures. The EdisonLearning Institute will deploy an open innovation strategy for identifying and vetting new concepts with educators, researchers, foundations and governments, both in the U.S. and globally.
The Next Steps
The recently announced strategic decisions are great accomplishments for EdisonLearning, and they ensure that we will continue our powerful legacy and proud tradition of educational leadership. They also fulfill an important promise to our clients, to our investors and to ourselves – to be the preeminent partner in providing innovative achievement management solutions that deliver superior learning outcomes for all children.
