Renaissance was born in 1986 when educator Judi Paul turned to computer software as a tool for motivating her students to read. Since then, Renaissance has grown to serve more than 17 million students in 100+ countries across 6 continents.
With offices in the UK, China, Australia, and the United States, our workforce of educators and professionals remains passionate about the Renaissance mission: To accelerate learning for all children and adults, worldwide.
