Our Story

Our Roots
In 2017, we grew out of two organizations – the Devereux Center for Resilient Children, a non-profit focused on creating resilient children, and Apperson, Inc, a for-profit focused on making sure educators have good data to make great instructional decisions. In order to realize their shared goals, a partnership was born: Aperture Education, a company rooted in the belief that our children hold the promise for a better tomorrow with an obligation to ensure that they have the skills and mindsets necessary to be good stewards of our future.
We encourage you to learn more about social and emotional learning and the positive impact it has on our youth. Check out our white papers, customer spotlights, webinars, and more for the latest information.
Our Mission
The mission of Aperture Education is to ensure that all members of school and out-of-school-time communities, both children and adults, have the social and emotional skills to be successful, productive, and happy.
Our Approach
We achieve this by providing teachers, out-of-school-time staff, parents and students with accurate and actionable data about their social and emotional strengths and needs. We pair this data with research-informed strategies and resources leading to improved outcomes.
