What Education Galaxy does

Education Galaxy, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Richardson, Texas, is a private K-12 edtech company that built an online and mobile assessment and practice platform for elementary students. The platform delivers interactive games and standards-aligned practice tools across English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, with subject coverage expanding from an initial K-5 focus to the full K-12 grade band. Its product enables students to track their own progress for self-evaluation, addressing educator needs for engaging assessment preparation content.

The company sells on a subscription basis — likely per-student or site-license terms typical of K-12 edtech — to schools and districts across the United States. Its go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct website lead capture and contact forms with self-serve web login access, and the product has historically been described as trusted by schools and districts nationwide. The Education Galaxy brand has been retired and its platform fully integrated into a consolidated successor product, Progress Learning, with web traffic redirected from educationgalaxy.com to progresslearning.com. Operating status is recorded as acquired/merged, indicating the original entity is now part of a broader educational platform. Leadership comprises founder and CEO Jeremy Verret, COO James Childers, and CTO Nathan Day.
