Overview
Digital Reference Research & Literacy Grades K–12

Britannica Education is a suite of digital encyclopedia, media, and instructional-reference resources. It is intended primarily for K–12 learners and educators using age-adjusted reference content, with students, teachers, librarians, multilingual-learner staff, and families using it to support research, background knowledge, informational literacy, media literacy, and cross-curricular inquiry.

Users search vetted articles, images, video, primary sources, biographies, and learning resources at different reading levels and languages. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.
