Great Minds
Who We Are
Great Minds is a high-growth, mission-driven organization founded by educators in 2007. As a for-profit, Public Benefit Corporation, we believe all students deserve access to meaningful, challenging content—and all teachers deserve tools that are intuitive, effective, and built for the realities of today’s classrooms.
What We Build Our products—Eureka Math, Eureka Math², Wit & Wisdom, PhD Science, Geodes, and the newly launched Arts & Letters ELA—are trusted by thousands of schools and districts nationwide. These programs reflect high expectations, joyful rigor, and deep respect for educators and students.
Eureka Math is the most widely used math curriculum in the U.S., focusing on conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and application.
Wit & Wisdom® and Arts & Letters ELA™ anchor our reading strategy with content-rich, grade-level instruction integrating literature, history, and the arts, grounded in the science of reading. Geodes® complements our reading suite with decodable texts that pair phonics with meaningful content to support early literacy.
PhD Science is a hands‑on K‑5 science program that sparks curiosity as students build enduring knowledge of how the scientific world works.
Where We’re Headed Great Minds is entering a new stage of growth and product maturity focused on building connected, customer‑informed experiences across the educator journey—curriculum, professional learning, platform, and support.
