About the name

Why “Integer School”

Integer/ˈɪn.tɪ.dʒər/adj., from Latin: Whole, complete, undivided. The root of integrity.
School/skuːl/n.: A group of people who share a way of seeing things, as in a school of thought.

Together: people who share one idea, the education of the whole person for a full life. Everything we publish is meant to serve that idea.

We are not a school in the institutional sense. Integer School LLC is not an accredited institution. It does not enroll students or grant degrees or credentials.

Who we are

Founded by Steffen Parratt

In 1997, as an MBA student at Wharton, Steffen wrote business simulations on the side. One of them, CorporateRaider, was used in a Wharton class that year. He shelved the games for a career and a young family.

Twenty-nine years later he returned to them. Homeworkware rebuilds the original games and finishes the library he had planned. Integer School LLC is the company behind that work and behind YourReadingJourney.
