History

Pansophic was founded in 2014 by Ronald J. Packard, who had founded Stride, Inc. in 1999. A 2015 acquisition made Pansophic the largest charter school operator in Ohio, with twelve schools and 3,286 students. It took over White Hat Management's vendor operated school contracts. In 2014, the company bought the International School of Berne (Switzerland). The company supplies the curricula for six schools operated by the Aurora Academies Trust in the United Kingdom.
