Rosetta Stone is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Cambium Learning Group, a leading provider of education software, to purchase the company.

For the past 25+ years our mission has been to change people’s lives through the power of language and literacy education and we believe joining Cambium brings us even closer to that goal.

Today’s announcement has no impact on our customers and there’s no change to your Rosetta Stone account team at this time. We remain focused on providing outstanding products and service for you. If anything, we feel that being part of Cambium will enable us to better serve you.

With a portfolio of award-winning brands, Cambium’s digital and blended curriculum, professional learning, and assessment solutions drive proficiency, equity and other learning outcomes in classrooms everywhere. The addition of the Rosetta Stone product lines further enhances Cambium’s highly unique continuum of digital products. Cambium is backed by Veritas Capital, a leading investment firm with deep industry expertise and over two decades of experience investing in companies that provide critical products and services to government and commercial customers worldwide.

As a result of the agreement, Rosetta Stone will no longer be a publicly traded company when the transaction closes later this year. You can read about the acquisition here.

If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact your sales representative.
