About Scholastic Group
Scholastic was founded in 1920 by M.R. “Robbie” Robinson, father to the current Chairman and CEO, Richard Robinson. Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company, has a corporate mission supported through all of its divisions of helping children around the world to read and learn. Recognizing that literacy is the cornerstone of a child's intellectual, personal and cultural growth, Scholastic has created quality products and services that educate, entertain and motivate children for nearly 90 years. Scholastic products are designed to help enlarge their understanding of the world around them.
Scholastic continues this successful history by remaining focused on encouraging children to learn to read and love to learn, helping teachers carry out their important jobs and supporting parents in their role as their child’s first teacher.
Today, Scholastic is a public listed company on NASDAQ, with sales revenue of over $2 billion and more than 10,000 employees worldwide. Scholastic creates quality educational and entertaining materials and products for use in school and at home, including children's books, magazines, multimedia products, teacher materials, television programs and toys.
Scholastic has international operations in Australia, Canada, China, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, The Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and the United Kingdom. As the world grows smaller and interconnected, Scholastic will continue to develop materials that span cultural and national boundaries and serve the needs of parents, teachers and children worldwide.
