About Us

Gallopade makes teaching easier and learning fun. 

Located in Peachtree City, Georgia, Gallopade is a people-first, diverse organization that empowers educators, engages students, and fosters the joy of reading. Our dedicated team of experts, researchers, and editors are continuously evaluating to respond to the needs of schools and students, ensuring 100% alignment with state standards to support educators in several states, with more on the horizon. 

Founded in 1979 by author Carole Marsh, Gallopade has spent over 40 years building a reputation as a trusted source for products that teach social studies, history, geography, and science, with curriculum resources correlated to state standards and supplemental materials, software, and many other resources in editions for all 50 states and Canada. 

Gallopade Curriculum improves the teacher experience and impacts learning through innovative methods, putting students on a path for continued success throughout their school years and beyond. And, of course, we create books! - with thousands of titles that go hand-in-hand with our educational materials and various other topics of interest for readers of all ages!

At its heart, Gallopade is a family company that cares. Our employees' children have been featured characters in our mysteries and stories, and children that grew up reading our books now work here. We have a commitment to our staff, our customers, our community, and to the world outside our doors to provide best-in-class products and services that are educational, entertaining, inclusive, and representative of everyone and every heritage around the globe. 

At Gallopade, we always ask customers, "What do you need to be successful?" Our answer is, "We can do that for you," – and we mean it.

Equity in Education Commitment

For more than 40 years, Gallopade has made an organic and innate commitment to equity in education. Providing resources for a non-biased, inclusive, aspirational, and inspirational education (in school and out) has been a hallmark and cornerstone of our family-owned business from the beginning to the present. Gallopade has always focused on historical truth, honesty, clarity, and comprehensiveness by including all aspects of a subject so that students understand the actions, contributions, and perspectives of diverse people as part of the whole cloth of the historical narrative. 

Our Products Do More Than Educate

They develop the competencies, confidence, and aspirations that equip and inspire students to become lifelong learners, independent thinkers, and architects of their future.

Our Opportunity to Make a Difference

Today, we are excited by the opportunity to bring even more equity and inclusiveness to education as our country rethinks answers to the question, “What is American history?” Gallopade is collaborating with diverse educators, organizations, and writers to share the histories, experiences, and perspectives of diverse, underserved, and disadvantaged groups of people so that the stories and perspectives that have been omitted from traditional accounts of history become an integral and integrated part of the American experience and history that all students study and learn. This history is not just the story of the past, but it is the foundation we build upon with the next generations of Americans.

Our Commitment

We are committed to helping this and future generations develop the knowledge, skills, empathy, courage, grit, determination, and confidence that equips, motivates, and empowers them to make their community, state, country, and the world a land of opportunity, justice, safety, inclusivity, and true freedom for all.
