The only school that sees every learning gap the moment it appears
A report tells you what happened. The Smart School System™ uses real-time learning gap detection to help teachers act while there’s still time to help. Learners can message their teachers directly when they need help between lessons.
Direct teacher messaging, gap detection and personalised academic support are included with the three class options. Gap detection and personalised academic support are also available as a paid add-on with Without Classes.
