American multinational publishing, education and media company that publishes and distributes comics, books and educational materials for schools, parents and children. Products are distributed through retail and online sales and through schools via reading clubs and fairs.

Scholastic is the world's largest publisher and distributor of children's books and print and digital educational materials for pre-K to grade 12.

According to CEO Richard Robinson

Scholastic’s mission is to help the individual child learn and grow. Every day, we start with the life of the child who we’re trying to reach with our work. We think about what that child is experiencing, what they might know or not know, and what might be most inspiring to them. To help them, we must know who they are. Each day we try to reach to the very heart of what each child will uniquely respond to—what will change the way they think about themselves and the world, and what will give them the tools and skills they need to navigate their own individual future, and collectively, the future of the 21st century.
