Paramus-based Savvas Learning Co., a leading provider of next-generation learning solutions across all K-12 grade levels and disciplines, acquired Rubicon Publishing, the developer of Canada’s most widely used all-digital math program, according to an announcement earlier this week.
Headquartered near Toronto, Rubicon is the provider of MathUP, an inquiry-based math program for students in grades K-8 that has become the best-selling online math product in Canada.
“With its hugely popular online math program, MathUP, Rubicon has evolved into a cutting-edge digital learning company that has transformed math education in Canada,” said Bethlam Forsa, CEO of Savvas Learning Co. “I look forward to building upon Rubicon’s successes and becoming the solutions provider of choice for educators on both sides of the border.”
“I am very happy and excited that Rubicon is now part of Savvas Learning Co. I have deep respect for Bethlam Forsa, a passionate and innovative publisher who shares my vision of education, and I am confident that she will turn the Savvas-Rubicon company into a powerhouse in the Canadian market and beyond,” said Maggie Goh, who founded Rubicon in 1987.
Since its founding, Rubicon has grown into a company recognized today for its powerful digital solution for math, as well as its diverse catalog of nearly 5,000 titles of engaging K-12 literature (including adaptations and translations) read by students around the world. The beautifully illustrated books combine effective instructional design with captivating content across all curriculum areas.
