Who are we? That’s easy. Renaissance Learning, Inc. is a technology-based educational company with a primary focus on accelerating K12 learning—plain and simple. Our long line of nationally acclaimed products and professional development offerings make classrooms and schools better places to teach and learn. Students who use our products learn faster. Teachers who use our products teach more effectively. Administrators who use our products meet state standards and Common Core State Standards. Let the learning begin.

We are a classic American success story. Our founders, Judi and Terry Paul, began the company in the basement of a home in central Wisconsin. Over the years, their leadership, encouragement, and love of K12 education grew the company into a world leader with over 900 employees in six U.S. locations and subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom. In 2011, Judi and Terry announced the company’s acquisition by Permira. And while many things have changed since our humble beginnings, our mission of accelerating learning for all still burns ever so brightly.

“Our primary purpose is to accelerate learning for all children and adults of all ability levels and ethnic and social backgrounds, worldwide.”
