IXL Learning Acquires NoRedInk, Used by 9 in 10 U.S. School Districts

San Francisco – October 19, 2026 -- IXL Learning has acquired NoRedInk, an English language arts platform used by 9 in 10 U.S. school districts since its launch, adding a writing-instruction product with near-national district penetration to its education portfolio.

The source does not disclose financial terms. Tucker Capital served as exclusive financial advisor to NoRedInk.

NoRedInk will keep its brand and operate independently under IXL

NoRedInk will continue as an independent brand, and teachers and students will see no disruption to the platform, according to the announcement. IXL Learning will back the business with its resources and scale to bring writing instruction to more classrooms.

IXL CEO Paul Mishkin said NoRedInk earned its place in classrooms through word of mouth from educators. NoRedInk founder and CEO Jeff Scheur said he is excited about what the two companies will accomplish together.

Temecula – October 13, 2026 -- Elite Academic Academy, a California public charter network for TK–12 students, is expanding teacher-led immersive learning through partnerships with Meta and Knoxlabs, according to a September 2026 cover story in The Enterprise World.

Elite runs three learning models backed by credentialed teachers
