Our Story

Built to serve readers, learners, and educators with excellence

Monarch Educational Services was founded with a larger vision than publishing alone. It was built to become a trusted educational company where families, educators, and schools could find what they need in one place: books they can trust, evaluations they can rely on, and curriculum and training rooted in faith, integrity, and professional quality.

What began with a passion for clean literature has grown into a multi-division company serving homes, classrooms, and educational systems. Monarch now stands at the intersection of literacy, special education, publishing, and faith-based educational leadership.
