Jonathan Grayer

Empowering educators with digital curriculum to achieve better student outcomes — that’s the heart of Jonathan’s work at Imagine Learning. He founded the company in 2011 with the purchase of e2020 and grew it to what is now the largest digital curriculum provider to U.S. K–12 schools, serving 18 million students. The power of Imagine Learning’s data-driven personalization helps teachers better tailor lessons and lets families and administrators better understand student progress. In 2016, Jonathan established the Grayer Family Foundation, whose mission is to help underserved young people gain access to better education, housing, and nutrition. The foundation has given millions of dollars to social entrepreneurs dedicated to making societal improvements that reach beyond their neighborhoods. In 2022, he launched the Imagine Learning Foundation, created to foster the well-being of learners and the people who support them at home and in their communities. In addition, he serves on the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center board, where he chairs the Patient Care Committee. Prior to Imagine Learning, Jonathan was Chairman and CEO of Kaplan, Inc., the largest division of Graham Holdings, formerly the Washington Post Company. He transformed it from an $80 million test prep business to a $2.3 billion global leader in higher education and professional training, supporting learners in pursuit of their academic and career goals. Jonathan holds an AB and MBA from Harvard University.
