Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company (HMH)

HMH (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company) is an American learning technology company dedicated to providing K-12 educational content and technology solutions. Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, the company's core mission is to deliver integrated solutions that engage learners, empower educators, and ultimately improve student outcomes.

HMH offers a comprehensive suite of K-12 learning solutions, encompassing core curriculum, supplemental materials, intervention programs, assessments, and professional learning services. These offerings span subjects such as reading, literature, mathematics, science, and social studies, all delivered through a streamlined digital platform. The company's reach extends globally, serving over 50 million students and 3 million educators across 150 countries. In April 2023, HMH further strengthened its assessment capabilities through the acquisition of NWEA, a non-profit academic assessment company.

In 2022, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company transitioned to private ownership following its acquisition by Veritas Capital, a New York-based private-equity firm, in a deal valued at approximately $2.8 billion. Jack Lynch serves as the company's President and CEO. This acquisition followed the 2021 sale of its Books & Media division to HarperCollins, a strategic move that allowed HMH to sharpen its focus on a digital-first approach within the K-12 education market.
