To further boost its capabilities and better serve diverse educational needs, School Specialty acquired FlagHouse in early 2023, a trusted provider of physical education, special needs, and sensory room solutions, further enhancing its ability to deliver comprehensive resources for educators and students alike.

Through this exciting acquisition School Specialty has expanded its product portfolio, strengthens its presence in Canada, and enhances its offerings with FlagHouse’s renowned Snoezelen sensory room solutions.

By integrating FlagHouse’s expertise and operations into its own, School Specialty is better positioned to provide comprehensive, inclusive resources for educators, healthcare professionals, and recreational facilities, empowering institutions to support health, wellness, and dynamic learning-environments.
