Company Overview

We are the nation’s leading public school partner, working closely with schools and districts to raise student achievement and help every child reach his or her full potential. We do this by implementing a research-based school design, uniquely aligned assessment systems, indepth professional development, integrated use of technology, and other proven program features. Edison Schools students achieve annual academic gains well above national norms.

Founded in 1992, Edison Schools is a diverse organization made up of committed educators, innovators, and caring individuals from across the country and the U.K. who seek to improve public education. We partner with school districts, charter boards, and states to help create great schools and innovative programs that help students reach their potential.

Some of the ways that we accomplish these goals, working together with our partners in a variety of programs and services, is through our research-based school design and curriculum, achievement management solutions, intensive professional development, and extended learning programs.
