The edtech leader was named to GSV 150 for the sixth consecutive year and Cambium brands win in 5 categories at the 2025 CODiE Awards

Cambium Learning Group, the education essentials company, today announced it has been named to the GSV 150 list for the sixth consecutive year. This milestone recognition is awarded to the world’s most transformational growth companies in digital learning and workforce skills.

Using a proprietary rubric—including revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile—GSV evaluated more than 3,000 global companies to determine the 2026 GSV 150. For the first time, the list includes publicly listed companies—capturing all edtech leaders demonstrating top-line growth and generating at least double-digit millions in annual revenue. Collectively, the 150 companies surpass $50 billion in annual revenue, reach over 3 billion learners, and continue to strengthen profitability, with two-thirds now cash flow positive and collective EBITDA up 14% year-over-year.

"The K-12 community continues to face complex challenges, which require innovative tools and resources that help educators accelerate outcomes for students," said Ashley Andersen Zantop, chairman and CEO of Cambium Learning Group. "I'm honored to work with each member of the Cambium team dedicated to delivering solutions that make a real difference for students, teachers, administrators and families. Congratulations to our team members and to our K-12 community partners–we’re grateful for the opportunity to make a meaningful difference for the people we serve."
