Imagine Learning Recognizes Top Schools in 2026 Imagine Nation Awards

Annual Awards Celebrate Innovation, Dedication, and Exemplary Implementation of Imagine Learning Solutions.

Tempe, Arizona — May 4, 2026 — Imagine Learning, the nation’s leading provider of PreK–12 curriculum solutions, today announced the winners of the 2025–2026 Imagine Nation Awards. These annual awards recognize schools and districts across the country for their exceptional use of Imagine Learning programs and their commitment to supporting student growth. 

More than 42,000 schools and districts were eligible for this year’s Imagine Nation Awards. Of those, 293 schools and districts have been honored as Imagine Nation Schools of Excellence or Districts of Distinction, representing best-in-class implementation and meaningful engagement with Imagine Learning solutions. 

New this year, Imagine Learning has introduced the Apex District Award, recognizing a select group of districts that demonstrate the highest level of success across multiple schools and Imagine Learning programs. Apex districts represent the pinnacle of implementation and impact — either having three or more Imagine Learning products earn Imagine Nation Award recognition or five or more schools achieve the School of Excellence Award — reflecting exceptional program implementation, strong usage, and measurable student success. Six districts will receive an Imagine Nation Apex District Award.  

“What stands out most about this year’s honorees is not just what they’re using, but how they’re using it,” said Kinsey Rawe, Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer at Imagine Learning. “We’re incredibly proud to celebrate these schools and districts — they’ve put in the work to implement with intention and consistency, and it’s making a real difference for students. Their success shows what’s possible when strong instruction, high-quality curriculum, and actionable insight come together in the classroom.” 

Based on extensive research, Imagine Learning has found that consistent program use and strong implementation practices link directly to gains in student achievement. The Imagine Nation Awards highlight the schools and districts that have gone above and beyond to ensure students gain the full benefit of the digital solutions they’ve adopted. 

Each recognized school or district will receive a banner to commemorate its achievement and inspire continued momentum in the year ahead.

Imagine Learning Introduces Enhancements Across Curriculum, Assessment, and Services for Back to School 2026

New capabilities make student learning more visible and progress more measurable.

Tempe, Arizona — April 16, 2026 — Imagine Learning today announced updates across its curriculum, courseware, assessment, and services portfolio. The enhancementshelp educators work more efficiently, better understand student learning, and extend support where it’s needed most — bringing curriculum, insight, and support closer to the daily work of teaching.

Across the portfolio, these updates are built for the moment of instruction, making student learning more visible and helping schools drive sustained progress.

In Imagine IM®, ClassMate™ brings Curriculum-Informed AI™ into the lesson experience, aligned to instructional intent and pacing. Teachers can generate targeted practice, build lesson plans, and draft communications all within the curriculum.

Additional updates make student thinking easier to see during instruction, with real-time visibility into how students approach problems and where misconceptions are forming. Streamlined grading and in-lesson editing reduce preparation time, allowing teachers to stay focused on teaching.

Updates to Imagine Edgenuity® and Imagine EdgeEX™ enhance visibility and flexibility across classrooms and districts. A redesigned Family Portal brings progress, attendance, and coursework into one place, while consolidated reporting simplifies tracking for educators and administrators.

New capabilities in EdgeEX extend ClassMate™, providing deeper insight into student progress within courses and helping educators identify where support is needed.

Course offerings continue to expand, including AI Literacy I, English Language Development (Level 3), and updated middle and high school courses across math, ELA, science, and personal finance. These additions are supported by more than 5,000 refreshed instructional videos across 800 Imagine EdgeEX lessons, strengthening day-to-day learning while improving clarity and consistency. Platform enhancements extend LMS integrations, improve reporting access for teachers, and support more flexible assessment options.

Imagine Learning is also expanding district support through enhanced Exceptional Education Services. SPED-certified teachers, coordinators, and specialists deliver instruction, support IEP and 504 implementation, and help manage compliance requirements.

Looking ahead, Imagine Learning will launch Imagine+ Math this fall, a new supplemental solution for grades K–8 that brings practice, intervention, and enrichment into a single experience. Purpose-designed learning pathways driven by assessment data allows the program to adapt to each student’s needs while helping all learners engage with grade-level mathematics and beyond. In intervention, nearly 1,000 K–12 math practice lessons are being added to Imagine MyPath®, along with answer rationales and embedded supports that make student thinking more visible and instruction more targeted.

For literacy, Imagine Sonday System® introduces a redesigned Reporting Hub that provides a clearer, more usable view of placement, usage, growth, and mastery.

Enhancements to Imagine+ Assessment expand Benchmarks for grades 3–8 math and extend Formatives into grades 9–12, keeping assessment closely connected to classroom instruction.

To support implementation with greater flexibility, Imagine Learning is introducing a subscription-based professional learning service with on-demand courses, expert guidance, and ready-to-use resources.

Across its core curriculum portfolio, Imagine Learning continues to expand a comprehensive set of programs across grades K–12. Dragonfly™ introduces a next-generation K–5 literacy program grounded in the science of reading and knowledge building. StudySync® 2027 strengthens a fully aligned ELA experience for grades 6–12. Twig® Science continues to grow with enhanced integration and classroom-ready resources, while Traverse® expands flexibility with a new mobile app for offline learning, simplified printing tools, and expanded Spanish-language support for multilingual learners.

“These updates are designed to help schools turn insights into measurable progress,” said Kinsey Rawe, EVP & Chief Product Officer at Imagine Learning. “When curriculum, data, and support work together in the flow of instruction, educators can clearly see how students are learning and respond without losing time. That changes what’s possible for both teaching and outcomes.”

Imagine Learning Foundation Announces 2026 Signature Grant Cycle to Expand Well-Being of Learners Beyond the Classroom

New funding priority will support nonprofit partners empowering K–12 youth as leaders and contributors in their communities.

Tempe, Arizona — February 24, 2026 — The Imagine Learning Foundation (ILF) today announced the launch of its 2026 Signature Grant Program, continuing its commitment to expanding meaningful opportunities to support the well-being of students and their support groups nationwide — at home and throughout the communities where they live and grow. 

The 2026 grant cycle will prioritize nonprofit organizations that engage young people in authentic, age-appropriate service experiences rooted in their homes, neighborhoods, and community spaces. The focus reflects ILF’s continued evolution toward supporting programs that build connection, confidence, and purpose to support academic growth and achievement. 

For the 2026 cycle, the Imagine Learning Foundation will prioritize nonprofit partners who intentionally design service opportunities where youth can lead, collaborate, reflect, and succeed. 

ILF seeks programs that: 

  • Activate a student’s full support ecosystem: families, caregivers, mentors, and community members
  • Integrate reflection and skill-building into service experiences
  • Center youth voice and leadership
  • Foster connection and a strong sense of purpose
  • Extend enriching learning environments beyond the classroom 

Unlike traditional volunteer initiatives, ILF’s 2026 focus is on service as a meaningful learning pathway — not just participation, but ownership and growth. 

“Young people want to make a difference,” said Chris Graham, Chairman and President of the Imagine Learning Foundation. “When we create space for them to lead and serve in their own communities, we’re supporting more than just academic learning — we’re helping them discover their strengths and their sense of purpose.” 

By supporting community-rooted, youth-centered service, ILF seeks to help students grow in a manner that will expand into everyday life, empowering students to flourish beyond the classroom, which improves learning outcomes. 

How to Apply 

Eligible nonprofit organizations are invited to apply for the 2026 Imagine Learning Foundation Signature Grant Program, with applications due by April 9, 2026, at 11:59pm PST. Award decisions are expected to be announced in June 2026. 

For eligibility requirements, application guidelines, and deadlines, visit www.imaginelearningfoundation.org.

Imagine Learning Partners with Modern Classrooms Project to Drive Stronger Math Outcomes Through Improved Implementation 

New partnership supports districts in deepening instruction and accelerating student growth in math.

Tempe, Arizona — February 23, 2026 — Imagine Learning today announced a partnership with the Modern Classrooms Project (MCP) to help districts accelerate student achievement in math through stronger curriculum implementation. The partnership enhances support for Imagine IM, Imagine Learning’s K–12 problem-based math curriculum, by equipping teachers with clear systems for differentiation, pacing, and small-group instruction. 

Districts nationwide are demonstrating that sustained curriculum implementation, paired with ongoing professional learning, leads to measurable growth in math achievement. Schools that maintain consistent lesson structures and invest in teacher support are seeing improved proficiency rates and stronger student problem-solving skills. 

“When teachers have the right support, students make real gains,” said Krysia Lazarewicz, Vice President of Professional Learning & Customer Success at Imagine Learning. “This partnership strengthens the daily classroom systems that lead to stronger outcomes in math.” 

Building Classrooms That Deliver Results 

In schools where Imagine IM is implemented well, students tackle meaningful problems, work together, and explain their thinking. Teachers guide discussion and connect ideas — keeping learning centered on student reasoning. 

Sustaining that level of instruction requires systems that help teachers manage diverse learning needs without losing momentum. 

The Modern Classrooms Project provides those systems through: 

  • Blended instruction that creates time for targeted small-group support 
  • Flexible pacing so students move forward when they demonstrate understanding
  • Embedded mastery checks that generate clear, actionable next steps 
  • Ready-to-use materials aligned to a high-quality curriculum 
  • Year-long mentorship and coaching to ensure strong implementation 

These supports work alongside Imagine IM and can integrate directly into Imagine Learning’s platform. 

After using Modern Classrooms Project’s tools and resources, one educator shared, “The Modern Classroom program is a transformative approach that empowers teachers to create more flexible and student-centered learning environments. This training equips teachers with valuable tools and strategies to increase student engagement and success, and the ongoing mentorship ensures that teachers feel supported throughout the process. It’s a great investment in both teacher development and student achievement.” 

Sustaining Growth 

This partnership is designed for districts in year two and beyond that want to deepen differentiation, expand small-group instruction, and strengthen classroom consistency. 

By combining Imagine IM with MCP’s support model, districts gain a clearer path from curriculum adoption to sustained student growth. 

“Effective math instruction requires both strong materials and strong systems,” said Kareem Farah, Co-founder & CEO at Modern Classrooms Project. “We’re excited to support teachers using Imagine IM and help them meet the needs of every learner.” 

About Imagine Learning

Imagine Learning creates K–12 learning solutions that support the boundless potential of students in more than half the districts nationwide. Empowered with data and insights from educators, we innovate to shape the future of education with a robust, digital-first portfolio of school services and core, courseware, and supplemental solutions.

Tempe, Arizona — January 21, 2026 — Artificial intelligence is no longer a hypothetical for schools — it is already shaping how students learn, teachers teach, and employers hire. Today, a coalition of national K–12 education leaders, researchers, practitioners, and students announced the launch of Beyond the AI Inflection Point. The initiative explores three plausible futures for K–12 education and is designed to equip education leaders with the clarity and tools to shape a future that best serves students. 

“I’ve seen too many schools respond to AI by swinging to extremes,” said Amanda Bickerstaff, co-founder and CEO of AI for Education. “Some try to ban it, while others rush to adopt GenAI tools without a plan. In both cases, students lose. This project exists because we still have the power to choose a more intentional path forward.”  

AI will shape education whether leaders act or not. What remains undecided is whether that future is shaped by intention or by default. 

The project emerged from a national convening in summer 2025, co-hosted by AI for Education and Imagine Learning, that brought together 20 experts and student voices to consider how AI is already impacting schools and disrupting learning. Inspired by the futurist AI 2027 project, the work moves beyond abstract debates to surface three plausible futures for K–12 education that are already taking shape: 

  1. A return to familiar fundamentals, where schools respond by restricting AI and doubling down on proven practices, often limiting students’ ability to engage meaningfully with new tools 
  2. An over-reliance on technology, where efficiency and automation outpace human judgment, learning, and agency 
  3. Intentional integration, where schools deliberately combine strong instruction with responsible, human-centered use of AI 

“This work pushes us to ask a more fundamental question about AI in schools,” said Sari Factor, Chief Strategy Officer at Imagine Learning. “What is the purpose of learning in an AI-enabled world, and how do we build classrooms and systems that actually serve that purpose and prepare students for their AI-enabled futures? When technology is used intentionally, it can support teachers and students in deeper learning, stronger agency, and outcomes that matter long after graduation.” 

Rather than offering prescriptions, the initiative provides a research-informed narrative and practical frameworks to help district and state leaders move from reactive policies to forward-looking strategies. The moment to choose is now.
