SAS inSchool—the name evokes our past, clarifies our present, and points toward our future.
We began, quite literally, in school. Our parent organization, SAS, was founded in academia. The world's largest privately held software company, SAS has maintained strong ties to the academic community.
Those ties grew stronger in 1996 when the company's founders looked back to the classroom and asked: Can the expertise we've developed over the past 25 years enable us to produce technologies that enhance learning?
The answer—an enthusiastic Yes—came only after deliberating with educators. Three qualities have been crucial to our success.
Our commitment to teachers.
Our products work in the classroom in large part because teachers shape every phase of the planning and production process.
Our focus on content.
Our approach is innovative, but our goals are traditional. Teachers, developers, artists and other specialists clarify content in the core disciplines. We target content difficult to convey with conventional methods—topics where doing and seeing provide information and encourage insights in ways that textbooks cannot.
Our approach to technology.
Our products make learning more profound and efficient, not simply more entertaining. Audio, visual, and interactive components all reinforce the educational objectives identified by teachers.
Year after year, SAS inSchool earns awards for educational technologies and, more importantly, we earn the support of students, teachers, and parents. |
