Who We Are - Renaissance Australia

Renaissance Australia is part of a global education community, but our focus is right here, in classrooms across Australia and New Zealand.

We work alongside schools, education departments and community partners in every state and territory. Our goal? To give educators the tools and insights they need to help every student grow, with solutions designed for real classrooms, not just policy papers.

What we believe

Our work is grounded in three simple ideas:

  • Every student can grow when they’re supported in the right way
  • Teachers need accurate, connected data they can trust
  • A clear picture of each learner leads to better teaching and fairer outcomes

Our Story

Renaissance was created in 1986 in Judi and Terry Paul’s home in Wisconsin, USA. Then and now, we believe more than anything that teachers shape student outcomes. They are catalysts of every learning experience, creators of ‘lightbulb moments’, engineers of open minds, and master curators of the curriculum.

Our founders aimed to enable dynamic practice through a new digital platform, and we continue that tradition today. Like teachers, we are problem solvers in the service of learning. For us, innovation is rooted in purpose: to provide relevant, responsive solutions for teachers and their students.

Partners & Schools

We’re proud to work with schools and education departments across Australia—public, Catholic, and independent—and to support educators from early years through to secondary. Our partners include:

  • Primary and secondary schools 
  • Multi-campus and system-level leaders
  • Education departments, literacy associations, and reading programs
  • Government and community partners in equity, wellbeing, and intervention

These schools use Renaissance tools not just for tracking data but to transform it into action that lifts engagement, achievement, and inclusion.
