Arey Jones has Educational Technology Solutions for Schools—Over 35 Years of K-12 Expertise

For more than 35 years, Arey Jones has been a trusted leader in educational technology, partnering with schools to create the best possible learning environments. Founded over a century ago as a small stationery and typewriter shop, we’ve evolved into one of the nation’s premier K-12 technology providers, with over 95% of our business dedicated to supporting school districts—especially in the Southeast and West. Under the Scarpella family’s leadership for more than 50 years, we’ve built a reputation for exceptional service, deep industry expertise, and unwavering commitment to our customers.

Our mission is to help transform teaching and learning through tailored solutions that foster creativity, collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking. We understand the unique challenges schools face in today’s fast-changing technology landscape, and we work closely with each district to design and implement 21st-century learning spaces that empower students and educators alike. 

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.

The rich heritage of Arey Jones continues today with a dedicated executive team and staff who are pioneers in educational technology solutions.

The Executive Team and Scarpella Family believe in the value that is created in having a strong workforce that focuses on putting the customer first. Our team’s commitment to our customers is responsible for the success we have in meeting the differing needs of school districts nationwide.

Arey Jones strongly believes in the idea having qualified and well trained employees on all aspects of our business that can provide the best possibly customer service to the District at every level. Arey Jones has a strict policy regard all background checks on employees and keeps current all necessary fingerprinting or registration for employees. We understand the importance of having trustworthy employees working with schools.

Our senior staff not only includes the executive team, but also all of our management team have been with us for over 10 years. The Scarpella family makes up the executive team, and Michael, Peter, David and Mattie Scarpella have all worked in the K-12 education technology market since the late 1980’s. The other members of the senior staff have between 10-20 years in K-12, and work closely with the Scarpella family in all facets of the business.

Our teams will give a personal connection allowing Districts to place a face with the name who is very familiar with the district environment. Unlike the average computer reseller teams, the dedicated teams work strictly with education clients allowing them to better understand the special requirements of working with school districts. Educators hold one of the most important missions in the world while balancing new opportunities and challenges in the classroom every day. Arey Jones knows that it is critical that the technology is being used every step of the way to increase the effectiveness of education and make it reliable, practical, and inspiring.
