Renaissance has achieved many milestones in our rich, almost 40-year history. What started as a local company in central Wisconsin has grown into a global leader in education. Today marks another significant step in our journey as we introduce our new brand identity, which embraces our history and mission to accelerate learning for all while also taking a forward-looking approach to the future.
Our new identity captures Renaissance as we are today, introducing our integrated solutions that champion a teacher-centered ecosystem and demonstrating how the right technology can help educators to truly see every student. Our refreshed brand highlights this with its new look, bold colors, and eye-catching photos, which are all reflections of a transformational change that has happened at Renaissance over the last few years.
In the past, you may have known us as “the Accelerated Reader company,” “the Star company,” or even “the company that now operates Nearpod.” Our new identity reflects how Renaissance has evolved into a trusted and reliable partner, providing you with a full suite of digital solutions to unlock personalized teaching and improve student outcomes.
At Renaissance, we believe in the magic of teaching and in a future where every student grows to their full potential. We also believe that teachers should always have the resources to do what they do best–teach.
We hope you visit our new US website to learn more about our transformation, and we hope you’ll join us on a journey over the next few months as we share more about how Renaissance can help you to truly, fully, See Every Student.
You can also read more about how our philosophy represents a much deeper and transformational change, and a renaissance in education technology, in this blog post from Dr. Gene Kerns, our Chief Academic Officer.
