The corporate mission of Scholastic is to encourage the intellectual and personal growth of all children, beginning with literacy, the cornerstone of all learning. With more than 90 years of experience supporting the learning lives of children, today Scholastic remains committed to providing quality, engaging educational content in digital and print formats for the next generation of learners, and the families and educators who guide them. Through each of Scholastic?s divisions, from book publishing and distribution to media, from educational technology to classroom magazines, literacy remains the cornerstone of all that they do. Because now more than ever, literacy ? the ability to read, write and understand — is a necessity, not only to succeed but to survive.
