Saxon Math Renewed for Publication

The popular math program developed by John Saxon has been renewed for digital and print publication.

August 2023

Many customers have asked us about the future of Saxon Math. We have good news to share with you. Saxon Math has been renewed for publication digitally and in print.

For a couple of years, rumors and reports have circulated that Saxon Math would no longer be available. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), the company that owns the publishing rights for Saxon Math, is shifting more of its offerings to digital programs and away from print programs, so Saxon Math, along with several other programs, had been scheduled for retirement.

The good news is that HMH has just approved a proposal to continue selling the currently available editions of Saxon Math for both school and homeschool use. HMH will sell the printed versions through June 30, 2025, and HMH will offer digital licenses through December 30, 2024.

Furthermore, we expect to have more details about future Saxon Math offerings once those plans are finalized. Watch this page for future updates.

Saxon Math remains in print four decades after its founding because of the amazing loyalty of the teachers and parents who choose Saxon for their students. We share your passion for the success of your students, and we are immensely gratified by your continuing support.

August 2023 Correction: An earlier statement made in May 2023 indicated that "firm plans are underway to keep the program available indefinitely beyond 2025 in both digital and print versions." While this was our best understanding, the details of a future offering are still developing, and we will have more to share after those plans are completed.
