What Catapult Learning, Inc. does

Catapult Learning, Inc. (legal entity Catapult Learning, LLC) is a Philadelphia-headquartered provider of K-12 educational services operating as a division of FullBloom. The company delivers high-impact tutoring, academic intervention, summer programming, mental health and life-skills supports, and specialized services (speech, occupational and physical therapy, English-language learner support) to public, charter, and private K-12 schools and districts across 42 states. Catapult claims nearly 50 years of in-school experience and serves approximately 160,000 students annually through a deployed network that the company reports as 15,000+ education professionals.

The company's product portfolio centers on evidence-based instructional services aligned with the Science of Reading and MTSS frameworks, supported by proprietary platforms including PDNow (an on-demand professional development platform with 70+ courses and approximately 200 hours of self-paced content) and EmpowerU (a coaching and mental-health platform with 120+ online lessons and real-time progress-monitoring dashboards). Tutoring is delivered through structured high-dosage models with up to 40 hours of pre-service tutor training and 5+ formal observations per year, and instruction is supported by third-party tools including the Pearl instructional platform and Renaissance Star Assessments for diagnostics and progress monitoring.

Catapult generates revenue primarily through multi-year managed-services contracts with school districts, funded by federal Title I, II, III, and IV allocations, IDEA special-education funding, and state/local grants. Pricing is negotiated per district based on program scope, student count, and implementation model; a Massachusetts DESE Early Literacy Tutoring program is offered at no cost to participating districts pending state budget approval. The company reaches district buyers through direct enterprise sales, content marketing (white papers, webinars, case studies), and industry-conference participation (e.g., NEASS), and operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries including Catapult Learning West, LLC, NonPublic Education Services, Inc., and Newton Alliance, LLC.
