Managed classroom accounts
Create students, teachers, librarians, parents, and admins manually today. CSV, Clever, ClassLink, and Google integrations are setup paths, not payment gates.
Tendril
Primary focus · for schools & districts
Everything in Tendril was designed around how K–12 teachers actually work — rostering, parental consent, dashboards, standards alignment, FERPA-safe data practices. Then we made the learning free.
