Curriculum Associates Acquires Stile Education, Expanding Access to High-Quality Science Instruction
NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Curriculum Associates (CA), the makers of i-Ready®, announced today the acquisition of Stile Education, an Australia-based provider of interactive middle school science curriculum aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). This strategic move expands CA's core instructional offerings by adding science to its well-established portfolio in assessments and mathematics and English language arts instruction, delivering more comprehensive and engaging learning experiences for educators and students alike. It will also allow CA to enhance its own instructional materials with Stile's highly customizable, interactive in-class teaching and learning platform.
Stile's inquiry-based approach to science, delivered through its intuitive and powerful digital platform, aligns with CA's mission to improve student outcomes through evidence-based solutions. "Expanding into science is the next obvious strategic priority for us, especially as a rich STEM education is an increasingly crucial component of every student's school experience," said Kelly Sia, CEO of Curriculum Associates. "Stile's proven impact makes them an ideal partner. Their philosophy around supporting educators and their approach to instruction align seamlessly with our commitment to service and data-driven instruction. Together, we're excited to offer educators a more cohesive and connected learning experience as well as best-in-class service and support."
CA and Stile both share a deep alignment in mission, culture, and commitment to classroom impact. The future work of the two companies will be driven and informed by a belief that all students deserve access to rigorous, relevant, and joyful learning.
"Joining [CA] allows us to bring Stile to millions more students across the US, leveraging CA's trusted brands and well-established district relationships across the country," said Daniel Pikler, co-CEO and co-founder of Stile. "We've had tremendous success so far in Oregon and North Carolina, and with CA we can really accelerate that continued growth."
Stile will continue operating independently in Australia and expand its reach to US classrooms as a part of CA. Together, CA and Stile are poised to deepen their collective impact, innovate boldly, and support teachers in delivering exceptional instruction across subject areas.
"We are excited to collaborate with the CA team and lay out plans for our joint product roadmaps," said Byron Scaf, co-CEO and co-founder of Stile. "This isn't just about two companies joining together; it's a chance to innovate together and to redefine core curriculum as we know it."
