Ellevation Education: The Tech-Savvy Sages of the Schoolyard

Ellevation Education, a spry 11-year-old company, has been busy building a thriving business with a real mission: to empower educators in their quest to support English Learners (ELs) at public schools across the United States. They've been so successful that over 1,500 school districts have turned to their software to manage their EL programs.

The Mission: Elevating English Learning

Ellevation is all about developing world-class software that helps educators serve the fastest growing population of K-12 students: English Learners (ELs). Their product suite includes a best-in-class data and instructional planning platform, resources to build teacher capacity, and student-facing programs to teach academic language. They're not just in it for the tech, they're in it to transform Multilingual Learner programs and ensure all students can achieve their highest aspirations.

The Growth: Scaling New Heights

Ellevation is a rapidly growing, mission-driven technology company. They've partnered with over 1,500 school districts and more than 2 million current and former English Learners. And they're not slowing down. Over the next five years, they plan to double the number of ELs they serve and drive measurable outcomes for students. In 2021, they merged with Curriculum Associates to accelerate impact for Multilingual Learners, but continue to operate independently, well-capitalized to support their ambitious social and financial objectives.

The Culture: A Different Class of Workplace

Ellevation is a mission-driven organization where team members are empowered to make a significant impact. They're all about DEIB-focused groups and building a culture of belonging. With professional development and growth opportunities, company and team offsites across the United States, and a collaborative workspace in the heart of Boston, they've created a space where productivity can flourish. They're not just about work though. They also host remote and in-person engagement opportunities, including happy hours, themed events, and competitions, and wellness programming to support the team’s mental and physical wellbeing.

The Commitment: Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Belonging

Ellevation champions diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging. They strive to build a team that reflects the diverse communities they serve, creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values a range of ideas and opinions. They're proud to have been recognized as “Best Tech Workplace for Diversity” by the Timmy Awards and are committed to continuous learning and feedback across the company.

The Benefits: More Than Just Apples for Teachers

Ellevation offers great benefits and competitive salaries. Benefits eligible employees (and qualifying dependents) are covered by medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance. Employees can enroll in the company's 401(k) retirement plan and receive an employer match. They also provide flexible paid time off for vacations, additional paid company holidays, generous parental leave benefit, back-up childcare or eldercare, and a variety of other perks to support the health and well-being of their employees.

In short, Ellevation Education is a tech-savvy sage of the schoolyard, dedicated to elevating English learning, growing rapidly, nurturing a diverse and inclusive culture, and providing a host of benefits to its employees.
