McGraw Hill, Inc. is a prominent American educational publisher and technology company. Recognized as one of the "big three" educational publishers alongside Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Pearson Education, the company provides a comprehensive suite of educational content, software, and services. Its offerings span multiple academic levels, from kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12) to higher education, as well as professional development settings.
Beyond traditional textbooks, McGraw Hill has increasingly focused on digital learning tools and adaptive technology designed to customize and enhance learning outcomes. The company also maintains a robust portfolio of reference and trade publications tailored to specialized professional fields, including medicine, business, and engineering. These resources serve students, educators, and professionals worldwide.
Originally a division of The McGraw Hill Companies (which later became McGraw Hill Financial and is now known as S&P Global), the educational division was divested in March 2013 when it was acquired by Apollo Global Management for $2.4 billion in cash. In 2021, the company was sold to Platinum Equity for $4.5 billion. Today, McGraw Hill is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, continuing its long-standing role as a major force in global education and professional publishing.
