Nerdy About Education. Small but mighty. Eager to Please.
We were nerds before it was cool.
From the beginning, we had one goal: make materials that help teachers teach and students learn. To us, that means making material intuitive and easy-to-use. It means providing exceptional support, cutting costs instead of corners, and preparing students to succeed where it matters most: their careers.
For the past 25 years, we've provided educators and students with better learning materials for Microsoft Office, QuickBooks & accounting, and computing fundamentals. Yeah, we know, we look good for our age.
Why Labyrinth Learning
Teaching and learning have never been easier. No, really.
Career-ready learning: Problems and examples based in reality to prepare students for the real world.
Customer support: An in-house support team of real people, not robots.
Exceptional value: Student budgets love us.
Our giving Program
Every student deserves the right to an education.
Making a real difference goes beyond what your team can do for students in the classroom. That's why we donate a portion of every sale to support our communities. We're continuing to support CFES Brilliant Pathways, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping students unlock their brightest futures. In addition, this year we're supporting the Hurricane Helene relief effort in Asheville, NC, where one of our authors currently lives. We're giving to Beloved Asheville and Fehl Art Studio in Asheville.
Freedom at Work

In addition to giving students and educators our very best, we also strive to do right by our employees. That’s why Labyrinth Learning is currently in process implementing organizational democracy through the Freedom at Work model. In 2024, we were certified as a WorldBlu Freedom-Centered Organization™.
Our continuing goal is to create a workplace that values both the organization and the human spirit. We are building an organization that fulfills each person’s need for community, connection, and individual voice; in short, we’re creating a place where people love to work.

good as a teacher; it makes me feel like I’m doing what I need to do to make them successful."

"Labyrinth textbooks are the best our students have used. The illustrations and examples are clear and to the point, and logically sequenced — truly, the best learning investment a student can make."

"I had a company training scheduled, and the day before the training I realized there were no books for the PowerPoint portion. I contacted Labyrinth, and even though my day was booked and I was hard to reach, they went through the extra time and effort to make sure someone got through to me. With the PDFs sent to me, I was able to conduct the class, and it turned out great! Labyrinth provided customer service at its best."
