Lemnis™ is a public charity that harnesses transformative change to expand learning for all. We are committed to Lemnis honoring NWEA’s 40+ year legacy* by embracing the core values of partnership, commitment to learning, and keeping students as the focus.We envision a future of the unlimited learner, where every young person can thrive in a time of dramatic change, fully embraced by their communities. A future where learners are connected to experiences that are uniquely relevant to their needs and desires, and where they feel empowered to pursue fulfilling work and a life of purpose.Our mission is to invest in next-generation solutions that make learning more just for all of us, personal to each of us, and adaptable in a fast-moving world.Lemnis is adapted from the word “lemniscate”. A lemniscate is a curve similar to the infinity symbol. The symbol is a figure eight on its side that represents the concept of something that is unlimited, endless, or without bound.*NWEA sold substantially all its assets to HMH in April 2023. NWEA changes its name to Lemnis as of March 2024.
