Annual Report

Dear Shareholders,
With 25 years of pioneering educational choice behind us, we re proud of how far we ve
come. Since 1999, Stride has offered real choices to more than 3 million families, and
today, demand for our programs is at an all-time high. Now, we look ahead to the next 25
years, remaining deeply committed to delivering Tomorrow s Education Today.
Leading With Choice
In any industry, customers want choices and education is no exception. A 2025 National
School Choice Awareness Foundation survey found that more than 60% of parents
considered switching schools last year. Of those, 27% explored a full-time online school.
Just ask our more than half a million graduates what that choice meant to them. Countless
families share remarkable stories of how our online programs helped when they needed an
alternative. We were there when it mattered.
Recognition Reflects Impact
That impact has not gone unnoticed. Stride has recently received numerous honors,
including Best EdTech Company from the Global EdTech Awards, 2024 Company of the
Year from BIG Awards for Business, and Gamified Digital Learning Solution of the Year
from EdTech Breakthrough Awards. We also earned the Tech & Learning 2024 Back to
School Award of Excellence in Secondary Education, four Digital Education Awards, and
two Gold Stevie Awards.
Stride s merit was also recognized in our recent accreditation review by Cognia, where we
earned an Index of Education Quality score of 327, above the global average of 296.
In our end-of-year survey, 94% of parents said their school gave their child what they
needed to succeed, offered an engaging learning experience, provided academic benefits,
prepared their child for future success, and delivered the flexibility they needed. These
parents are increasingly fueling our organic growth through strong satisfaction and
referrals and we don t take it for granted.
