Our take

Renaissance Learning is one of the largest U.S. providers and a global leader in reading, math, and assessment solutions for K-12 schools. Through acquisitions and development, Renaissance Learning is the parent company of a slew of educational companies, such as Nearpod, Illuminate Education, KeyPhonics, Schoolzilla, and more.

Used in 40,000 schools in more than 100 countries around the globe, the company powers some of the most recognizable assessment programs in education, such as Accelerated Reader (to support individual reading practice), myON (increasing students' access to high-quality reading materials), and myIGDIs (for accurate assessment of early learning).

Renaissance has a valuable reputation for being a company that truly addresses a range of educational needs faced by students by providing educators with the tools they need to help learners of all levels succeed. Its continuous growth within the space has the company well set to maintain a strong market share in an expanding and well-funded sector.
