2025 Wrapped: Lenny Learning
A year of expansion, scale, and evolution
Hello, and Happy New Year!
Recently, we were looking back at our 2024 Wrapped and noticed something that made us pause.
Last year, we shared a wish for 2025: to reach 500,000 students.
We’re incredibly grateful to say that we more than doubled that goal.
In 2025, Lenny supported 14,098 educators and counselors, reaching 1,057,350 students across the country.
That reach was built educator by educator and school by school.
We’re grateful to the teachers who showed up every day, the clinical advisors who helped raise the bar, and the funders who made this growth possible, especially Google.org, whose belief in this work helped us launch a free version of Lenny and reach students at an entirely new scale.
More than growth, this year marked a clear shift in how schools are using Lenny and what the platform has become.
Here’s a look back at the year.
1,057,350 students reached
This year, Lenny was used in classrooms, counseling offices, intervention rooms, and planning meetings nationwide, supporting over one million students based on district enrollment data and educator reach.
What’s different from years past is how schools are using Lenny.
While mental health and SEL remain core use cases, educators increasingly rely on Lenny across all K–12 subjects, including:
ELA, math, science, and social studies lessons
Tier 1 classroom instruction and differentiation
Tier 2 and Tier 3 academic and behavioral interventions
IEP-aligned supports and small-group instruction
Safety, prevention, and life skills education
Lenny has evolved from a point solution into a flexible creation platform for the work educators are already doing every day.
14,098 educators using Lenny
This year, over 14,000 teachers, counselors, interventionists, and school leaders actively used Lenny.
Some discovered Lenny on their own.
Some were introduced through school or district rollouts.
Many became champions inside their buildings, sharing resources and setting new norms for how work gets done.
Across roles and regions, the pattern was the same: educators wanted tools that respect their time, adapt to their context, and actually work in real classrooms.
40,600 lessons and interventions created
Educators created 40,600 lessons, activities, and interventions with Lenny this year.
These weren’t static resources. They were adapted, remixed, and reused across grade levels, student needs, and subjects, often in real time.
Teachers and support staff used Lenny to respond quickly when:
A class needed a reteach
A small group needed targeted support
A student required individualized materials
A district needed consistency across schools
What stands out most isn’t the volume, but the practicality: these were materials created to be used immediately, not stored away.
121,800 hours saved
By reducing planning time and administrative lift, Lenny helped educators save an estimated 121,800 hours this year.
That time went back where it matters most: to students, to instruction, to support, and to breathing room in an otherwise overloaded system.
For many educators, Lenny isn’t just a tool; it’s how they make the job sustainable.
What changed this year
2025 marked an important shift.
Lenny expanded beyond being primarily associated with SEL or mental health and became something broader: a platform for creating what students need, across subjects, tiers, and settings.
To support that shift, we launched major new tools, including:
Lenny Lite, a free way for educators to create lessons and get started on Lenny
Curriculum Developer, for teams and districts building full programs
Survey Creator, to gather real-time student and caregiver insights
These releases weren’t about adding features. They were about meeting educators where they already are and supporting the full scope of their work.
Looking ahead to 2026
Last year, we set a goal that felt ambitious at the time: reach 500,000 students. We ended up reaching 1,057,350. That outcome doesn’t just make me proud, it makes something very clear: we can aim higher, and we should. Not just for more reach, but for deeper, more durable impact.
The question we’re holding going into this year is simple, and hard: what does it mean to consistently deliver the right resource at the right time, so more students get what they need to succeed, and educators feel genuinely supported in doing that work?
So our north star for 2026 is not “more users” or “more reach.” It is becoming a truly transformative tool for educators, and proving that transformation inside real systems.
Right now, most educators using Lenny are on our free tier. That access matters. It’s how teachers and counselors discover Lenny, experiment, and start using it immediately in real classrooms.
At the same time, we’ve seen that the greatest and most consistent impact comes through district-level partnerships. Today, we work with 20 districts through paid contracts, where Lenny is implemented top-down and used across schools. In these environments, educators aren’t working in isolation, and students and families experience more consistent, aligned support.
That’s why our primary goal for 2026 is clear: to grow to 100 district partnerships (5x growth) where Lenny is a core tool for supporting all students across subjects, tiers, and settings.
To every teacher, counselor, leader, advisor, partner, and supporter who trusted us this year, thank you.
We’re grateful to be building this alongside you.
