THE THREE PILLARS OF OUR CULTURE

These foundational pillars shape our culture and help us come together to lead, create, and innovate to better serve you, your students, and your community.

High Purpose

Our rich history makes us storytellers, but our far-reaching impact on millions of lives makes us story-changers. It is through learning that people create a better world—and we spread learning. This is our High Purpose.

High Performance

PEOPLE SUCCESS + CUSTOMER SUCCESS = COMPANY SUCCESS
