Istation Celebrates 25 Years of Improving Education and Learning

 

Improving education is a journey, a transformative process that shapes the minds of young individuals and prepares them for the world. It’s a journey that begins the moment a child steps through the school doors, their eyes wide with curiosity and potential. This potential is not just seen, but deeply felt by those who dedicate their lives to nurturing it – the teachers, the parents, and the creators of innovative learning platforms like Istation. Over the past 25 years, Istation has been inspired by the resilience and determination of students, leading them to create exceptional learning experiences that have touched millions of lives.

As the company celebrates its 25th Anniversary, their dreams for better learning experiences remain as vibrant as ever. Dick Collins, the CEO of Istation, and co-founders Robert Rubin and Bill Lowry, promise to keep looking to the future of Istation and the future of education.

Dick’s Thoughts:

“From the moment you walked through those school doors, we knew that someday you would change the world. Whether learning to read, learning along the vision, or learning another language, we saw your potential and then we dreamed of a way to help you reach it. For 25 years, kids like you have inspired us to create exceptional learning experiences for millions of students. And when things got tough, you didn’t let anything stop you from becoming your best. Your teachers believed in you, your parents believed in you, and we believed in you. We’ll always believe in you. Today as we celebrate 25 years, we’re more committed than ever to help you and generations to come excel day after day, year after year. And someday, when you walk your own child through these school doors, we will still be here, dreaming of ways to make learning better for them and for you. Hi, I’m Dick Collins, the CEO of Istation, here with our co-founders Robert Rubin and Bill Lowry, and we are excited about your growth and your future. The best is yet to come.”
