Kaplan, Inc. is a global provider of educational services operating in more than 30 countries and serving over one million students annually. Founded in 1938 when Stanley Kaplan began tutoring students in Brooklyn, the company has expanded across multiple education verticals including test preparation, online higher education, K-12 services, professional training, language learning, financial education, and university pathway programs. Kaplan prepares students for more than 90 standardized exams worldwide.
The company's service portfolio spans the entire educational continuum, from secondary schooling through professional development. Its online higher education division delivers degree and certificate programs, whilst its professional training offerings serve career-focused learners. The language learning and financial education divisions extend Kaplan's reach into specialised skill development, and its university pathway programs help students transition into higher education institutions globally.
Kaplan operates as a subsidiary of Graham Holdings Company. The organisation traces its mission to its founder's original aim of helping children of immigrants access college education, a principle it describes as central to its operations today.
