History

In 1925, M. R. "Robbie" Robinson founded the business he named Scholastic Publishing Company in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

In 1926 Scholastic published its first book, Saplings, which was a collection of selected student writings by the winners of the Scholastic Writing Awards.

For many years the company continued its focus on serving the youth market through the relatively low cost of magazine publication. So even with the later transition into paperback books, the company continued under the name Scholastic Magazines, Inc. through the 1970s.

After World War II, cheap paperback books became available. So then in 1948, Scholastic entered the school book club business with its division T.A.B., or Teen Age Book Club™ with classic titles priced at 25 cents.

In 1957 Scholastic established its first international subsidiary, Scholastic Canada, in Toronto.

The company published paperback books under its division Scholastic Book Services. These were offered to school students via classroom mail order catalogs, known as the Scholastic Book Club. Along with the New York and Toronto publishing locations, the division also expanded further internationally to operate in London, Auckland, and Sydney by the 1960s.
