The story

In June 2010, Archipelago Learning (Nasdaq: ARCL), acquired EducationCity.com. EducationCity was planned to remain a stand-alone business unit of Archipelago. Its headquarters were to remain in Rutland, U.K. and Naperville, IL.

On 1st August 2025, EducationCity was retired. All user and teacher data was deleted, all contracts were terminated, and access to the software was completely removed. All pre-existing blog posts and links to anywhere within the website now redirect to the parent company Edmentum's website, at edmentum.com. Schools and users were given some time to download any worksheets or videos from the site, but, from that date onward, the software ceased to exist. Furthermore, the parent company's FAQ made it clear that they no longer wish to provide UK-aligned education software.
