About Medley Learning

Medley is a software solution that fosters inclusive, rigorous classrooms. Medley allows a classroom of diverse learners to all access the same grade-level content, with scaffolds designed specifically for multilingual learners and students with disabilities. Teachers control what supports are provided, but Medley does the time-consuming work of scaffolding to match each student's needs.

This is AI done right: not creating lots of new low-quality content, but instead adding just-right supports to existing grade-level content. After a successful spring pilot, Medley is now being used by dozens of schools. We designed Medley to ultimately support the more than 5 million multilingual learners in U.S. schools, and our early pilots are validating that trajectory and are expanding to support students with disabilities, ultimately helping more than 20% of U.S. K–12 students.

We're proud to have the support of Workshop Ventures, a venture studio building and investing in startups in climate and education. Medley is guided by leading advisors including Eleanor Laurans (SimpliSafe co-founder, former CFO of Boston Public Schools), Dr. Margo Gottlieb (WIDA co-founder), Dr. Timothy Boals (WIDA co-founder), and district ML leaders who are actively shaping our pedagogical strategy.
