Archipelago Learning is a leading subscription-based online education company. We provide standards-based instruction, practice, assessment and productivity tools that improve the performance of educators and students via proprietary Web-based platforms. Study Island, our core product line, helps students in kindergarten through 12th grade, or K-12, master state-specific grade level academic standards in a fun and engaging manner. During the 2009-2010 school year, Study Island products were utilized by approximately 10.0 million students in nearly 22,000 schools in 50 states. These students answered over 3.2 billion practice questions.

In June of 2010, Archipelago Learning acquired EducationCity, which provides an online K-6 educational program that includes instructional content and assessments in language arts, mathematics and science. EducationCity is used by 8,200 schools in the U.K. and 4,800 in the U.S. EducationCity and Study Island work in tandem to introduce, extend, enrich, remediate, and reinforce the learning process through proven, research-based content that ensures every learner can be successful in mastering the most rigorous standards of learning. In addition, Archipelago Learning introduced new online post-secondary programs last year through its Northstar Learning product line.
