Submission declined on 3 October 2025 by Pythoncoder (talk). This draft reads like an advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a platform for promotion or marketing. Drafts that are exclusively promotional may be deleted without notice. Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove: promotional language: see Words to watch; personal commentary: opinions or direct addresses to the reader; informal language. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. If you have a conflict of interest (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are being paid to edit, you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's Terms of Use.

• Comment: This draft is written from the viewpoint of the company, focusing on what the company says about itself. Corporate notability is based on what independent reliable sources have written about the subject.
  Not every business corporation is notable, and this draft does not establish corporate notability. You may ask for advice about corporate notability at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:24, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Savvas Learning Company is a U.S. based publisher of preK-12 educational textbooks, digital curriculum, assessments, and services.¹ The company is headquartered in Paramus, New Jersey.² The business was previously a subsidiary of Pearson Education, which in February 2019 sold its U.S. based K-12 curriculum division to Nexus Capital Management.³⁴ After becoming a newly independent company, it rebranded as Savvas Learning Company in May 2020.¹

Savvas Learning Company's roots trace back more than 125 years through educational publishers Scott Foresman and Prentice Hall, which eventually became part of Pearson Education.⁵

Scott Foresman, founded in Chicago in 1896, focused on elementary education and published the Dick and Jane reading primers.⁶⁷ It was acquired by Time Inc. in 1986, then by HarperCollins in 1989, and finally by Pearson PLC in 1996.⁶⁸

Prentice Hall, established in 1913, published trade, technical, and educational books.⁹¹⁰ After several acquisitions, it came under Pearson in 1998.¹¹¹²

In 2019, Pearson sold its U.S. K-12 courseware business to Nexus Capital Management.³⁴ The business provided K-12 educators with curriculum in core academic subjects, as well as supplemental and intervention programs.¹ The newly independent company was initially called Pearson K12 Learning until May 2020, when it officially rebranded as Savvas Learning Company.¹¹³ Since then, Savvas Learning Company has expanded its portfolio of digital learning solutions, online assessments, college and career readiness courses, and AI-related products.¹⁴

By 2023, the company had more than doubled its revenue to $1 billion.²

Savvas Learning Company is led by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and President Bethlam Forsa.¹⁵ Prior to being named CEO of the business upon its sale in 2019, Forsa served as the president of Pearson’s U.S. Learning Services business.¹⁵

In 2023, Savvas acquired Whooo's Reading and its AI-driven technology that assessed students’ writing and reading comprehension skills with its machine-learning algorithm.¹⁶

In 2024, Savvas acquired edtech startup Outlier.org, an online provider of dual enrollment and online college courses,¹⁷ and Pointful Education, an online career and technical education (CTE) company.¹⁸¹⁹
