Delta Education was founded more than thirty years ago as a part-time business by Tom Richardson. Noting the shift taking place in science classrooms—from lecture and demonstration to active investigations by students—Tom started building kits for schools in his rec room. He concentrated on products that correlated with the curriculum instead of selling science supplies separately. As teachers began to recognize the importance of inquiry-based science—students learning scientific methods through investigations—Delta Education met the growing need for materials by building custom kits for school systems. As a result, Delta Education assumed a leading role in improving science instruction nationwide.In 1996, Richardson sold the business to Torstar, a Canadian publisher. Soon after, the new owners built a state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution facility in Nashua, NH. After only a few years, Torstar sold the business to focus on its core business in trade publishing. In August 2001, Delta Education was purchased by a partnership of The Wicks Group and Gary Facente and David Cruise, two experienced educational publishing executives. The new ownership gave Delta Education the leadership and support necessary to take the company to higher levels of performance.
