How GL Assessment grew GL Assessment to $8.4M revenue with a 76 person team in 2025.

GL Assessment is a global leader in education technology with a clear mission: to accelerate learning for all children and adults of all ability levels and ethnic and social backgrounds, worldwide. GL Assessment, which has been a Renaissance company since 2023, has helped teachers assess students’ strengths and challenges in learning, identify and support children with additional educational needs, and provide schools with evidence of progress for over 40 years. Today, schools in over 100 countries rely on our assessments to make informed decisions about their students' educational journey. From its beginnings in 1986, Renaissance has grown to become a global leader in education technology. Each year millions of books are read and online assessments completed by tens of thousands of schools around the world using Renaissance solutions. Together, GL and Renaissance are creating something new: a connected suite of products that help teachers accurately identify student needs and adapt teaching to ensure all students build the skills they need for success. And all of this is based on technology that allows schools and school groups to deliver accelerated learning. Our combined strengths allow us to give schools exactly what they need, when they need it. Teachers trust our established products – from CAT4 to Accelerated Reader – because they work. We can offer more support, better solutions and deeper analysis of what makes a difference in education. Every solution we create still aims to make teaching more effective and learning more achievable. Our approach ensures schools get the support they need, when they need it.
