About Grand Canyon Education, Inc.

Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOPE) is a U.S.-listed company traded on the NASDAQ market in the United States, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. The business was formed in 2008 around the growth and operational transformation of Grand Canyon University, a Christian institution founded in Arizona in 1949. Over time, GCE evolved into a specialized education services platform, leveraging online learning, campus support infrastructure, and scalable technology-enabled processes to serve postsecondary education providers. Management emphasizes more than 30 years of experience in delivering support services to higher education, positioning the company as an operating partner rather than a traditional university owner. ([investors.gce.com](https://investors.gce.com/shareholder-services/investor-faqs/)) Grand Canyon Education’s core model is built around a broad suite of outsourced and integrated services for partner institutions. These include marketing, strategic enrollment management, student counseling, financial services, information technology and technical support, compliance, human resources, classroom operations, curriculum development, and faculty recruitment and training. The company also highlights significant technological solutions, infrastructure, and operating processes designed to deliver these services at scale. In practical terms, this means GCE participates in the education value chain by enabling institutions to recruit, retain, and support students efficiently. ([investors.gce.com](https://investors.gce.com/shareholder-services/investor-faqs/)) From a competitive standpoint, GCE’s differentiation lies in execution quality, operational discipline, and its ability to support multiple university partners with a repeatable service model. In its most recent quarterly disclosure, the company said it currently serves 20 university partners as of the first quarter of 2026, reflecting a partner base that remains sizable even as individual relationships can change over time. The company also continues to expand off-campus classroom and laboratory sites for certain programs, while its online education footprint remains an important driver of scale.

The headquarters is located at 2600 W. Camelback Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85017. ([investors.gce.com](https://investors.gce.com/shareholder-services/investor-faqs/)) Recent developments indicate steady operating momentum. For the first quarter of 2026, GCE reported service revenue of $308.8 million, up 6.7% year over year, alongside growth in GCU online enrollments and continued expansion of off-campus sites. In late 2025 and early 2026, the company also reported quarterly results showing revenue growth and reaffirmed its focus on execution and partner expansion. For investors, the key watchpoints remain enrollment trends, partner additions or departures, and the company’s ability to convert its operating platform into sustainable revenue growth within the competitive U.S. postsecondary education market.
