Our Story

History of ESCO

Educational Sales Co. (ESCO) was founded in 1993 in Tempe, AZ. From the beginning, ESCO was committed to the private high school market, acting as the textbook supplier for campus bookstores in private schools. Over the years, ESCO has served thousands of schools and parishes across the United States, supplying everything from textbooks and paperbacks to religious education products and reference books.

In response to growing demand, the company launched the ESCO Online Bookstore-and Internet based bookstore tailored for individual schools. We give each school its own website for students to order their books online. We ship directly to their homes and give the school a portion of the earnings generated by the website.
