NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 22, 2025 Branching Minds, a leading K–12 education technology company that helps districts streamline and scale best practices in Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), has been recertified as a Certified B Corporation™, earning a B Impact Score of 137.6—the highest score across educational support companies globally and well above the 80-point threshold for certification.

Certified B Corporations (B Corps) are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

To maintain B Corp status, companies are required to undergo a rigorous third-party assessment by the non-profit B-Lab to ensure that they are continuing to meet verified high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Since the prior recertification process, Branching Minds’ impact score rose by nearly 8 points, with exceptionally high scores in:

  • Customers – Recognizing the company’s commitment to delivering positive outcomes for students, protecting data privacy, and empowering educators with research-backed tools.
    Workers –
    Reflecting Branching Minds’ strong focus on employee well-being, financial security, work-life balance, and engagement in a remote-first environment.

Branching Minds has been a Certified B Corporation since 2015 and continues to deepen its investment in creating lasting social impact.
