Who is EdisonLearning?

For more than a quarter of a century, EdisonLearning has been at the forefront of some of the most dramatic changes in America’s public education system. Throughout our history, we have provided a broad range of educational services to many schools across the United States.

Our outcomes are not solely based on student test scores – but on graduation rates, college acceptances, and meaningful jobs. We believe success is not solely about achieving academic results, it’s about securing futures.
