EXPLANATORY NOTE

Scholastic Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 (the “Original Filing”), which was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 19, 2024 (the “Original Filing Date”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to supplement the Exhibits contained in Item 15(a)(3) of Part IV of the Original Filing to include Exhibit 19, Insider Trading Policy under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which was inadvertently omitted in the Original Filing.

This Amendment is an exhibit-only filing. Except as described above, no changes have been made to the Original Filing and this Amendment does not modify, amend, or update in any way any of the financial or other information contained in the Original Filing. This Amendment does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the Original Filing Date.

Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Similarly, because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment, certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been om itted.
