Founded in 1897 in San Diego, California, Arey Jones began as a small stationery and office supply business serving the administrative needs of local schools. In 1972, the company was acquired by Broadway Typewriter Company, owned by the Scarpella family. Under their leadership, Arey Jones evolved into Arey Jones Educational Solutions and expanded its reach nationwide.
Since the early 1990s, we have specialized exclusively in the K-12 educational market—providing hardware, software, integration, configuration, service, and support to hundreds of school districts. This singular focus gives us a unique understanding of the challenges and opportunities school districts face, and positions us as a trusted technology partner across the country.
Every member of our team brings hands-on experience serving K-12 customers, backed by decades of established relationships and contracts nationwide. Arey Jones operates offices in California (San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco), Alabama (Mobile), Georgia (Atlanta, Savannah), Florida (Fort Lauderdale), Tennessee (Memphis), and North Carolina (Raleigh). The Scarpella family remains actively engaged in the day-to-day operations, ensuring that our commitment to complete customer satisfaction continues to guide everything we do.
