Learning Is For Everyone!
Every learner deserves books and educational resources that reflect them—their interests, their abilities, their cultures, their families, their traditions—and inspire them to be curious and informed about the world around them. Learning Is For Everyone!
Through Capstone’s original content, students are immersed and completely engaged with a new character, point of view, idea, or experience. With their curiosity sparked, those students are empowered to independently find and understand facts about their newly discovered, real-world interest using PebbleGo.
For students to become successful learners and have fun in the process, they need to access a variety of reading materials in a variety of ways. Whether it’s printed, digital, audio, or visual, kids need options and resources to learn in the way that is right for them. They need to be immersed in stories and facts about the world around them and develop the critical thinking skills to make sense of it all. It is essential for kids to see themselves in those stories to feel connected and to grow and learn.

Where we started
Capstone's roots began in 1885 in the stone quarrying business, owned by the Coughlan family for four generations. If you look closely, you’ll find clues to reflect that heritage throughout our brands and imprints, for example: Pebble.
Over 30 years ago in 1990, Capstone Press was purchased by current owner, Bob Coughlan. A reluctant learner with an entrepreneurial spirit, Bob was inspired to ‘solve his own problem’ and dedicate Capstone to engaging students in a more powerful and meaningful way. To this day, Capstone is driven to make sure every learner achieves educational success.
