SchoolAI
AI that connects teachers with every student
By SchoolAI · 4.0/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- K-12 districts that want teacher-designed, guardrailed AI learning Spaces with real-time visibility into every student's thinking.
- Schools rolling out AI district-wide through existing LMS, SSO and SIS rostering (Canvas, Google Classroom, Microsoft, ClassLink).
- IT and curriculum leaders who need FERPA, COPPA, SOC 2 Type 2 and 1EdTech evidence before approving classroom AI.
- Instructional coaches and teachers who want to save planning and feedback time while keeping students on task.
- District PD teams that want professional learning, certifications and ESSA-validated research alongside the product.
Ideal size: School to district-wide people · District with IT/rostering support and a PD plan for adoption
Not for
- Teams wanting a general-purpose chatbot rather than AI confined to teacher-designed experiences.
- Organizations outside K-12 and higher ed, such as corporate L&D or B2B support desks.
- Districts unwilling to complete SSO/rostering, DPA and professional-development steps that rollout requires.
- Buyers who need published per-seat list pricing before talking to sales.
- Programs seeking a fully autonomous AI teacher with no educator oversight.

Bottom line
SchoolAI is classroom AI for K-12 and higher ed: teachers design guardrailed Spaces, students work with an AI Sidekick named Dot, and Mission Control shows who is stuck and what to do next. It deploys through Canvas, Google Classroom and Microsoft with SSO, SIS rostering and a browser extension. Districts get standards alignment, professional learning, audit logs and LLM audit traces. Teachers can start free; Pro and Scale are quoted. SOC 2 Type 2, FERPA, COPPA and 1EdTech compliant, ESSA Level III validated.
Frequently asked questions
How is SchoolAI priced?
The Free Trial lets teachers safely explore AI across 5 free trial Spaces per year at no cost. Pro and Scale are quoted by SchoolAI sales for schools and districts; no per-seat list price is published. SchoolAI is ESSA Level III validated, which the vendor says qualifies it for Title I, II, III and IV-A federal funds.
Does SchoolAI train AI models on student data?
No. SchoolAI states on its trust page that it does not sell student data, does not share it with advertisers, and does not use it to train AI models, and that its contracts with every AI provider prohibit those providers from doing so either. Student data is used only for student well-being and the advancement of learning.
What does a district rollout involve?
Deployment runs through integrations districts already have: LMS embedding (including Canvas and Google Classroom), SSO via Google, Microsoft or ClassLink, and SIS-powered rostering through 30+ partners. Paid tiers add district custom instructions, preferred standards, learning frameworks, a DPA and professional learning for educators.
Which compliance certifications does SchoolAI hold?
SchoolAI states SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and 1EdTech and Common Good certification, plus FERPA and COPPA compliance. The trust and safety page lists continuous control monitoring and lets districts request the SOC 2 Type 2 report, incident response summary and penetration test executive summary.
How much administrative visibility do leaders get?
Pro and Scale add audit logs of administrative actions, LLM audit traces of every AI model interaction for compliance review, usage reports, student chat observability and critical alert routing so conversations that flag safety concerns notify admins and backup staff.
