What NonPublic Educational Services Inc. does

NonPublic Educational Services Inc., doing business as Catapult Learning, is a K-12 educational services provider headquartered in Salem, Massachusetts, and operating as a division of FullBloom. Founded in 1975, the company delivers evidence-based academic intervention, high-impact tutoring, summer learning, mental health supports, specialized services (speech, occupational, and physical therapy), and professional development to schools and districts across 42 states. The company is differentiated by its scale - a deployed network of more than 15,000 education professionals and 350+ instructional coaches - and by independent validation from Johns Hopkins University under ESSA Level 2 evidence standards. The platform portfolio includes the PDNow on-demand professional development platform, the EmpowerU educator well-being and family engagement platform, and the CharacterStrong sub-brand for MTSS-aligned tools and character development.

The company's core product architecture is organized around MTSS-aligned frameworks, with built-in diagnostic and progress monitoring embedded in instructional intervention programs. High-Impact Tutoring is delivered in-person, virtually, or through hybrid models, with frequent, focused sessions on literacy and math. Mental health and life skills are structured into Tier 1-3 supports, addressing both students and educators. The CharacterStrong acquisition extends the platform into resilience screening and character development curriculum. Collectively, the solutions are positioned to address the full K-12 MTSS stack under a single contracting relationship.

Catapult Learning operates an enterprise go-to-market model, engaging school districts directly through multi-year contracts and aligning services with Title I and other eligible funding sources. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through professional services delivered by the deployed educator network, with no consumer-facing or transactional revenue model. The customer base is concentrated in K-12 public, charter, private, and nonpublic schools and school districts, with secondary end-beneficiaries being educators and families. Ownership is private, with FullBloom as the parent organization and CharacterStrong as a wholly-owned subsidiary brand.
