Affordability

Catalyst was founded by educators committed to lowering the cost of high-quality learning. Our team helped lead early adoption of open educational resources, built textbook-independent digital tools, and pioneered affordable content bundles that saved students and institutions significant costs. Today, we continue that mission across disciplines. 

Catalyst is the largest publisher of open-access lab manuals, with 300+ versions of 150 experiments, and a partner of OpenStax and LibreTexts. Our platform delivers engaging, customizable instruction at a fraction of the cost of traditional course materials. 

Accessibility and Compliance

Accessibility is at the heart of our mission. Our founder was inspired by his mother, who returned to college at 42 despite being nearly deaf and went on to earn her PhD. Her determination shapes everything we do. 

Our platform is audited twice a year by ABLR and meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards, which will be federally required in April 2027. We are proud to be Title II compliant and committed to building tools that empower every learner and educator.
