NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., Dec. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Curriculum Associates was recently named the 2017 Company of the Year in the Enterprise category in the SIIA Company CODiE Awards. Curriculum Associates was chosen by SIIA's team of experts based on its significant growth in revenue, strong company culture, and demonstrated commitment to the community over the last year.

"This dedication fuels our growth and inspires our talented team to work to make classrooms better places, and we are honored to be recognized for our accomplishments and leadership in the industry."

Over the course of its nearly 50-year history, Curriculum Associates has transformed from a small print workbook provider to a cutting-edge leader in the educational technology space.
