Curriculum Associates has been making classrooms better places for students and teachers since 1969. Today, the company serves more than 17 million K–8 students across all 50 states through its flagship i-Ready platform, which delivers personalized assessments, instruction, and data tools that help educators meet every learner where they are.
With nearly 2,500 employees globally—including offices across the United States; Dublin, Ireland; Sydney, Australia; and Bengaluru, India—Curriculum Associates operates at the intersection of education, technology, and human connection. Roughly 40% of its workforce is in service roles, reflecting a company built to support educators day in and day out.
The company's growth tells its own story. Under current CEO Kelly Sia, Curriculum Associates has nearly doubled revenue while expanding its family of companies through acquisitions including Ellevation Education (serving multilingual learners), SoapBox Labs (voice AI for children's literacy), and Stile Education (middle school science curriculum). Each acquisition was chosen for shared mission alignment, not just market opportunity.
What makes Curriculum Associates stand out as an education employer is its ability to hold two things at once: a 55-year legacy of mission-driven stability and a forward-thinking approach to how work gets done. Its "double bottom line" philosophy—doing well as a business while driving equity and outcomes for students—shapes everything from product development to people strategy.
