On December 10, the Tyler, Texas-based Mentoring Minds announced it had acquired SchoolSpire, which is located just 100 miles away in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The former provides a variety of standards-aligned curriculum packages to schools aimed at fostering critical thinking skills among students. The latter provides what they call an Instructional Management System—a digital platform that hosts digital content, delivers assessments, and provides analytics for a K-12 context. Details of the deal were not made public.
Both companies were founded in the early aughts. Over the years, Mentoring Minds serves over 1.3 million students annually. SchoolSpire has been deployed widely in the U.S. and internationally. Outside of the U.S. alone, the company has been used by over 3 million learners.
