About the Kaplan Inc. family
About Kaplan, Inc.
Kaplan, Inc. is a leading international provider of education and career services and a subsidiary of Graham Holdings.
Kaplan began over 75 years ago, when Stanley Kaplan started tutoring students in the basement of his parent’s home. Many of his students were from immigrant families, who wanted to learn English to pursue higher education and become a success in America.
From these humble begins of one man teaching in one room, Kaplan, Inc. now has 31,000 employees in 600 locations worldwide. We reach more than one million students around the globe through our various branches of the company.
