Description: LRN Stride November 06, 2025

Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN) delivers a suite of technology-driven curriculum, software platforms, and educational services to K-12 schools, public-charter districts, and adult learners in the United States and abroad. Its offerings span virtual and blended school operations, subject-specific learning tools (math, English, science, history), and post-secondary career pathways through the Galvanize, Tech Elevator, and MedCerts brands, plus staffing and talent-development services for employers.

Key operating metrics from the most recent FY 2023 filing show total revenue of roughly $1.2 billion, with a 9 % year-over-year increase driven primarily by growth in its post-secondary career-learning segment (up ~15 %). Enrollment across its K-12 virtual schools remained steady at about 250,000 students, while the adult-learner cohort expanded to over 100,000 active users, reflecting broader demand for up-skilling in tech and health-care fields.

The education-technology sector is currently benefitting from two macro drivers: (1) sustained federal and state funding for digital learning infrastructure, which historically adds 3–5 % to annual EdTech spend, and (2) a tight labor market that fuels employer-sponsored up-skilling programs-both of which support Stride’s diversified revenue streams. Conversely, regulatory scrutiny of virtual school funding and the competitive pressure from large platforms such as Pearson and Coursera remain material risks.
