Renzulli Learning

What Renzulli Learning does

Renzulli Learning, Inc. is a privately held K-12 educational technology company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Connecticut, built on more than 50 years of Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) research conducted by Dr. Joseph S. Renzulli and Dr. Sally M. Reis at the University of Connecticut. The company operates a SaaS-based personalized learning platform that combines four proprietary assessments (Renzulli Profiler, Cebeci Test of Creativity under US Patent 12,087,176, Renzulli Executive Function Assessment, Renzulli Leadership Assessment, plus the newer Critical Thinking Assessment) with a curated database of 40,000+ standards-aligned enrichment activities. The platform personalizes instruction by automatically matching activities to each student's interest and learning-style profile, supports seven Project-Based Learning pathways, a Personal Success Plan portfolio for durable-skills evidence, and an ELLA module for English Language Learners in 20+ languages. The product is accessible via standard web browsers, with no software installation required, and integrates with Google Classroom, Clever, ClassLink, OneRoster, and SAML 2.0 SSO across all major K-12 LMS platforms.

The company's commercial model is subscription-based at $15 per student per year for full platform access, supplemented by separately priced custom professional development services. GTM is hybrid: enterprise field sales target K-12 districts via phone and quote requests, while a product-led, no-credit-card 30-day free trial and QuickStart training capture individual teacher demand; webinars and free UConn-accredited PD courses (9 contact hours) drive mid-funnel conversion. The company operates dedicated Spanish- and Portuguese-language offices in Santiago, Chile and Curitiba, Brazil, alongside a flagship UNIR university partnership for Spain and Latin America, and aligns to G&T and career-readiness frameworks across all 50 U.S. states. Renzulli Learning is founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional or venture funding, and reports 251-500 employees. Customer base spans classroom teachers, G&T programs, ELL/dual-language programs, MTSS teams, and school and district administrators in the United States and selected Latin American markets.
