SCHL

Scholastic Corporation

One of the world's largest children's book publishers and distributors, Scholastic brings beloved series like Dog Man and Harry Potter to young readers, along with classroom magazines and literacy programs used in U.S. schools. It began in 1920, when founder Maurice Robinson launched a student newspaper from his mother's sewing room in Pennsylvania, naming it "Scholastic" for the students it served. The company is famous for its school book fairs, pop-up bookstores that have turned school gyms into childhood treasures since the early 1980s.
