SchoolAI

School was awesome today

SchoolAI provides safe, classroom-ready AI where students learn within teacher-designed, guardrailed experiences, and educators get real-time mastery data showing whether students are actually achieving the outcomes that matter.

We believe schools should be able to see how every student is doing and know what to do next, in real time.

Our platform helps schools improve everyday learning by using safe, teacher-guided AI that adapts to how students learn best, shows educators what's working and what's not, and helps focus attention on who needs help right now.

Our mission is to make school awesome for students and the people who support them by finding out what they need and making it happen.

Our Founder, Caleb Hicks, started his career in a middle school keyboarding lab full of blank stares and repetitive typing drills. He changed the assignment. Instead of drills, he gave students challenges that matched their interests and made them feel like someone actually noticed them. The blank stares went away. Students started taking ownership of their learning and surprising themselves. Those early experiments became the seeds of SchoolAI. Today, the same belief drives everything we build: every student deserves to feel known, and every teacher deserves to reconnect with why they chose education.
