Curriculum Associates Named One of the 50 Fastest-Growing Private Companies and One of the Largest Private Companies in Massachusetts by the Boston Business Journal

North Billerica, MA, May 24, 2018

The Boston Business Journal announced that Curriculum Associates has been named on their 2018 “Fast 50” list of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in Massachusetts for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, Curriculum Associates was named the 44th Largest Private Company in Massachusetts by the Boston Business Journal for the third year in a row. In 2017, Curriculum Associates placed 48th on the list.

The Fast 50 winners were selected and ranked based on a formula that counts revenue growth in the preceding three years. Approximately 130 privately held companies applied for inclusion by submitting nominations that included financial performance, and the Boston Business Journal's Research Department and CPA firm Withum, a Fast 50 partner, evaluated the figures provided to determine the rankings. Only those firms with a headquarters in Massachusetts and revenue of at least $500,000 in 2014 and $1 million in 2017 were considered. Companies that did not show growth from 2016 to 2017 were excluded. The Boston Business Journal announced the rankings at an awards reception on Thursday, May 17, at the W Boston.

For nearly 50 years, Curriculum Associates has been on a mission to make classrooms better places for teachers and students. With a focus on reading and mathematics, the company offers an integrated print and digital solution for K–12 diagnostic assessment and K–8 instruction, making blended learning a reality in the classroom. Curriculum Associates provides more than seven million K–12 students in all 50 states with the best adaptive assessment and personalized learning materials to prepare them for success. Today, Curriculum Associates is one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry, with revenues quintupling since 2012.

“It's an honor to be recognized by the Boston Business Journal as one of the largest and fastest-growing private companies in Massachusetts for the third and fourth years in a row, respectively,” said Rob Waldron, CEO of Curriculum Associates. “Our growth is a testament to the outstanding work done by our team and their tireless dedication to placing children and teachers first.”

The Boston Business Journal's 2018 list of the 100 largest private companies in Massachusetts represents a veritable “who's who” of the Bay State's most-recognizable brands and industry powerhouses, along with a number of fast-growing newer entities. Together, they account for more than $134 billion in revenue in 2017.
