Excelligence Learning Corporation
Discount School Supply® had its beginning in a small retail store that sold educational products. Founder Ron Elliott connected with enthusiastic educators and parents of young children, and he had creative ideas about how he could supply more and better products to respond to their needs. In 1985, he decided to extend the store’s reach, so he produced a 16-page black-and-white catalog of Arts & Crafts materials. The Discount School Supply catalog was born.
The original focus was simple: offer the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices, supported by an extraordinary level of service.
A true entrepreneur, Ron knew that there was a much larger audience who could benefit from that focus.
Today, you’ll find that focus has not changed.
The Discount School Supply® catalog has grown to over 400 pages with more than 6,000 products from over 25 different categories. The established leader in Arts & Crafts products, Discount School Supply also offers broad assortments in other categories, including Dramatic Play; Active Play; Infant & Toddlers; Furniture, Storage & Equipment; Math; Science; Language; and Special Needs. In addition, we publish a number of specialty catalogs to expand our most popular categories.
The Discount School Supply® Web site offers the most comprehensive presentation of our products in addition to a wide variety of content resources for teachers and families.
As a developer and manufacturer of products, Discount School Supply® brings to customers innovative proprietary products you’ll find nowhere else – including Colorations®, “The Brand Teachers Choose™,” our line of top-quality Arts & Crafts materials; and BioColor® paint, “Creativity in a Bottle.” Discount School Supply also carries popular brands such as Crayola®, Elmer’s®, Fiskars®, Lego®, HighScope®, Angeles®, Carpets for Kids®, Children’s Factory®, and Jonti-Craft® .
