## Summary

Imagine Learning sells digital-first K-12 curriculum and services — spanning core, supplemental, assessment, and courseware products including **Imagine Language & Literacy** for multilingual learners
([official site](imagine-learning-official-website.md)). The company's **corporate headquarters** is now **100 S Mill Ave., Suite 1700, Tempe, AZ 85281**
([contact page](imagine-learning-contact-page.md)); its careers page lists additional offices in Austin, Petaluma, Rock Rapids, Glasgow, and Bangalore, and does **not** name Provo or any other Utah location
([careers page](imagine-learning-careers-page.md)).

The Utah lineage is historical. A 2014 *Deseret News* report describes Imagine Learning as a **Provo-based** language and literacy company acquired by **Weld North Holdings**, with officials saying it would **remain in Provo**
([Deseret News, 2014](deseret-news-imagine-learning-weld-north-2014.md)). Current captured official pages place headquarters in Arizona instead; the wiki does not have a document establishing how many employees, if any, remain in Utah today.

## Impact

The original product wedge — game-based language and literacy software aimed at English learners, struggling readers, and early elementary students — matched a real district need in high-ELL states like Utah. The 2014 article quotes a West Valley City principal describing conversational English gains after adopting the program
([Deseret News, 2014](deseret-news-imagine-learning-weld-north-2014.md)).

Since then the company has grown through acquisition into a broader digital curriculum provider. Its homepage now markets a wide product portfolio and displays self-reported scale statistics — **18 million students**, **38,000+ U.S. schools**, **50% of U.S. districts** — which the company states on its own site and which this wiki records as **company-stated**, not verified against a federal adoption registry
([official site](imagine-learning-official-website.md)). The 2014 article's **6,500 schools** figure is likewise attributed to company officials in news reporting and is dated.

**Bet:** that owning the English-learner literacy niche in Utah gave Imagine Learning a foothold it parlayed, through Weld North's roll-up strategy, into one of the larger U.S. digital curriculum portfolios — even after the corporate center of gravity left the state.

The honest counterweight: headquarters and named offices no longer anchor the company in Utah; whatever Utah footprint remains is undocumented in the captured sources. Impact on Utah schools may still be large through deployed software, but that is customer adoption, not corporate presence.

## Utah Context

Imagine Learning is a Utah-founded edtech company whose identity has largely decoupled from the state administratively. Conventionally this is an out-of-state entity with an **unknown** Utah employment footprint until a primary record names a current Utah office or headcount. Utah school use is attested anecdotally in 2014 reporting (Stansbury Elementary, West Valley City) but no current Utah district adoption count has been pulled from a government record.

## What They Need Now

The careers page describes a remote-friendly, hybrid workforce hiring across curriculum, engineering, sales, and instructional services nationally
([careers page](imagine-learning-careers-page.md)). Specific Utah-based openings were not captured.

## Open Questions

- **Current Utah headcount and offices.** Neither the contact nor careers pages list Provo or another Utah city. A Utah DWS filing, a current job-posting cluster, or a state incentive record would establish what remains.
- **Corporate history after 2014 is thin here.** Weld North's subsequent acquisitions (StudySync, Edgenuity, and others commonly reported in trade press) are not documented on this page; a Weld North or Imagine Learning primary filing would tighten the chain.
- **Adoption scale lacks independent records.** Homepage statistics (18 million students, 50% of districts) and the 2014 "6,500 schools" figure are self-reported or company-attributed. NCES, state procurement, or USAspending pulls would be needed before treating any adoption number as fact.
- **Wayback archives unresolved** for these captures during ingestion; live URLs were retrieved successfully on 2026-08-11.
