History
The language arts curricula produced by IEW are based on a method of teaching originally developed through the combined works of Dalhousie University professor Dr. James B. Webster and Order of Canada member Mrs. Anna Ingham. The Institute for Excellence in Writing was officially founded in 1996 by Andrew Pudewa, who used Webster and Ingham’s teaching methods with permission to create the language arts education resources produced and sold by the company. IEW was initially established as a company in California and later relocated to its current headquarters in Locust Grove, Oklahoma, in 2009.
