Company mission
To make the world a more knowledge-rich place.
Our take
Founded in 2007, Great Minds is an ed-tech company that develops K-12 curricula. It currently supplies five programs across Math, English and Science; Eureka Math, Eureka Math², Wit & Wisdom, Geodes and PhD Science.
The company's programs stand out for being centered on building knowledge, rather than just skills - with content designed to foster lasting understanding instead of focussing on memorizing facts. On top of this, Great Minds also promotes equity in education with its Universal Design for Learning (UDL), which builds engagement, representation, and action and expression into its curricula, empowering teachers to proactively remove learning barriers.
Having secured $150 million in investment in 2022, the company has the means to embark on its next stage of growth, and has been building out its leadership team to this end. Its programs are well-regarded by education materials reviewer EdReports, and Great Minds is certainly an organization to keep an eye on.
