Making a difference in education.
Throughout our 27-year history, Ballard & Tighe has remained dedicated to making a difference in education. A privately held company headquartered in Brea, CA, Ballard & Tighe publishes a highly regarded set of testing instruments designed to assess students with limited English proficiency, as well as a line of English language development instructional materials, a series of innovative social studies programs, and online professional development for educators. Our goal is to provide educators with the tools they need to help English language learners transition successfully into mainstream classrooms.

Currently, Ballard & Tighe provides testing, teaching and training materials and services to more than 2,200 state, regional and local school systems throughout the U.S. and internationally. We are perhaps most recognized for our pioneering IPT series, first developed in 1976 and known today across the world for providing accurate assessments of LEP students’ language skills.

As the needs of our customers evolve, we remain dedicated to developing, delivering and supporting exceptional educational materials to promote the academic success of today’s increasingly diverse student population. This commitment extends beyond our products to encompass our excellent customer service, product training, and support for teachers and local and state administrators.
