Our History
What Education Needs
StudySync was founded in 2009, by Robert Romano and Jay King, creators of EDVantage Software, a highly successful EdTech company that was conceived and developed prior to the wide availability of CD-ROM drives in schools and was on the forefront of technology. EDVantage was purchased by Riverdeep in 2001, in the dawn of web-based application delivery and the ever-growing shift to digital education products. Applying over 25 years of educational publishing experience, StudySync has assembled an experienced and talented group of EdTech leaders, in marketing, engineering, professional development and academic design.
In 2014, StudySync partnered with McGraw Hill to provide a core 6 – 12 ELA solution to school districts in the United States. McGraw Hill is a digital learning company that draws on its more than 100 years of educational expertise to offer solutions that improve learning outcomes around the world. McGraw Hill is the adaptive education technology leader with the vision for creating a highly personalized learning experience that prepares students of all ages for the world that awaits.
In early 2021, StudySync joined the Imagine Learning family. Imagine Learning, the largest digital education company in the U.S., was founded in 2010 with the goal of creating a focused suite of digital curriculum capabilities and resources that enable teachers, administrators, parents and students to benefit from innovative learning technologies. Over the last decade, Imagine Learning has expanded its mission by investing broadly in the development of researched-based digital curriculum capabilities to engage and support PreK-12 students and educators.
