Who We Work With

Who We Build Education Software For

A school buys software to cut administrative hours. An EdTech startup buys it to grow completion and retention. Those are opposite problems with opposite architectures, so we scope for which one you are before designing anything.

Schools and Institutions

Management systems, student information, and LMS platforms that reduce administrative hours instead of adding a second system for staff to maintain.

EdTech Startups

Consumer learning products from MVP to funded platform, built around retention and completion mechanics from the first sprint rather than after the metrics disappoint.

Corporate Training Teams

Internal learning platforms with compliance tracking, certification paths, and reporting that holds up in an audit.

Coaching and Test Prep Providers

Exam preparation platforms with question banks, timed mock tests, adaptive difficulty, and performance analytics per student and per cohort.

Trust
Student Data Protection

Student Data Protection, Built In From Day One

Education platforms hold records belonging to children. That is a different standard from ordinary consumer software, and it cannot be retrofitted in the week before launch. Here is what we build in from the first architecture session.

FERPA-Aware Record Handling

Student education records held with access controls and disclosure logging appropriate to US institutional requirements, so an institution can answer who accessed what and when.

COPPA Handling for Under-13 Learners

Verifiable parental consent flows and restricted data collection where the platform serves younger learners, including limits on behavioural tracking and third-party analytics.

GDPR and Regional Compliance

Consent capture, data residency, and deletion rights handled for UK, EU, and India-based institutions, with retention windows defined per record type rather than left open-ended.

Role-Based Access Across Four Audiences

Teachers, administrators, parents, and students each see only what their role permits. A parent sees their own child. A teacher sees their own cohort. Neither sees the institution.

Full Audit Trail on Sensitive Actions

Grade changes, record edits, permission grants, and data exports logged with a user and a timestamp, because in education a disputed grade change has to be reconstructable.

Encryption in Transit and at Rest

Student records, assessment data, and identity documents encrypted throughout, with keys managed outside the application layer.

No Real Student Data in Test Environments

Staging and QA run on anonymised or synthetic data. Real cohort records never leave production, which is where most education platform breaches actually originate.

Parental Consent and Visibility Controls

Consent state stored against the learner record and enforced at the data layer, with a parent-facing view of what is collected and how it is used.

Safeguarding-Aware Communication Features

Where the platform allows teacher-student or student-student messaging, it is logged, moderatable, and scoped by role, because unlogged direct messaging between adults and minors is a safeguarding liability.

Data Export and Portability

Institutions can export their own records in a usable format on request. Your data is not held hostage by the platform, and portability is a legal right in several of the regimes above.

Defined Deletion and Graduation Policy

What happens to a record when a student leaves is decided during scoping rather than discovered years later with a decade of unpurged minors' data on the server.

Third-Party Sharing Held to the Same Standard

Analytics, notification, and video providers reviewed against the same requirements. A compliant platform with a non-compliant analytics SDK is not compliant.

See all 12 data protection practices

We build the platform, and we will tell you when you do not need one. If your delivery model fits what Moodle, Canvas, or Google Classroom already assumes, an off-the-shelf platform plus integration work will cost less and launch sooner, and we would rather say so on the first call. Compliance regimes in education vary by country, state, and learner age, and they change. We build to the requirements your institution or counsel defines and will flag where a feature you have asked for is likely to sit badly with them. Completion rates depend on your content and your teaching as much as on the software. We can build the structure, the nudges, and the progress visibility, but we cannot make a weak course worth finishing.

The Problem

What Education Apps Usually Get Wrong

We have shipped enough learning platforms to know where they break, and it is rarely the course content.

The Problem

Course completion collapses in the first two weeks

Most learners abandon early. Without progress visibility, structure, and timely nudges, the platform becomes a library nobody returns to and your retention numbers never recover.

Grading consumes the teaching week

Manual assessment burns hours that should go to instruction, and it scales linearly with enrolment, so growth makes the problem worse rather than better.

The platform forces a new workflow on staff

Off-the-shelf systems make institutions redesign around the software. Teachers and administrators keep a parallel process, and the data in the system stops being trustworthy.

Integrations get deferred to phase two

A platform that cannot exchange data with your existing SIS, LMS, or content standards creates double entry for exactly the staff it was meant to help.

Our Approach

Completion mechanics designed into the first sprint

Progress visibility, streaks or milestones, resumable lessons, and re-engagement prompts scoped as core product rather than added after launch metrics disappoint.

Automated scoring with human override

Objective assessment scored automatically, judgement-based work routed to a teacher with the context already assembled, and cohort analytics showing where the class is struggling rather than just individual marks.

Workflow mapped before design

We sit with how your teachers and administrators work today in week one, and build to that. If your model genuinely fits an off-the-shelf platform, we tell you.

Standards and integrations scoped up front

SCORM, LTI, and SIS requirements decided during architecture, so roster, grade, and content exchange is part of the build rather than a later project.

Pricing
Investment

Education App Development Cost

Cost here is driven by how many user roles and integrations are in scope, not by lesson count. Here is what shapes the estimate so you can plan before the first call.

Build TypeTimelineWhat's Included
Education MVP6-10 weeksCore learning or assessment flow, one user role set, one platform
Full LMS or school system12-18 weeksMulti-role access, course management, admin dashboard, reporting
Integration and compliance add-onsVariesSCORM and LTI, SIS integration, FERPA and GDPR scope, load testing

What moves the price: number of user roles, whether SCORM or LTI compliance is required, SIS or existing LMS integration depth, offline content support, and the compliance regime your institution operates under.

Week 1

We map how your teachers, administrators, and learners actually work today before designing anything.

02

Architecture and Data Protection Review

Weeks 1-2

Student data handling, role permissions, and audit logging designed at the architecture stage rather than retrofitted before launch.

03

Build in Sprints

Weeks 3-12

Iterative delivery with working demos throughout, not a single reveal at the end of term.

04

Role and Compliance QA

Before Launch

Role-based access tested from each audience's perspective, audit trails verified, and a data protection walkthrough completed before go-live.

05

Launch and 30-Day Support

Post-Launch

We stay on for 30 days, which in education means through your first real cohort, and we schedule launch around your academic calendar rather than through mid-term.

They don’t just execute tasks they ask the right questions, provide thoughtful suggestions, and help refine the overall direction of the product. Their involvement went far beyond development. They contributed strategic insights, improved workflows, and ensured that both the user experience and backend integrations were properly aligned. That level of ownership truly makes a difference. Timelines were respected, communication was clear and consistent, and every discussion felt productive and solution-focused. Instead of working with an external agency, it genuinely felt like we had added a committed product team to our side. Their attention to detail, UI clarity, structured approach, and proactive mindset gave us confidence throughout the entire journey. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a dependable team that genuinely cares about both execution and long-term product success.”

Book a free call

Should I build a custom LMS or use an off-the-shelf platform?

Custom is the better call when your delivery model does not match what Moodle or Canvas assumes, or when the platform is your product rather than your infrastructure. If your model fits, an off-the-shelf platform plus integration work will cost less and launch sooner, and we will say so. We have shipped a full LMS, so the recommendation is not a sales position.

How do you improve course completion rates?

Progress visibility, resumable lessons, defined paths rather than an open library, milestone feedback, and timely re-engagement prompts, all scoped in the first sprint. We also instrument drop-off from day one so you can see which lesson loses people rather than guessing after launch.

How do you handle student data privacy?

Access control, encryption, and audit logging are designed in at the architecture stage. We build with FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR requirements in mind depending on where your institution operates and how old your learners are, and we do not put real student data in test environments.

Do you support SCORM, LTI, or SIS integrations?

We build to learning standards and student information system integrations so your platform exchanges course content, grades, and roster data with existing systems rather than duplicating them.

How long does it take to build an education app?

A focused MVP with one core flow takes 6 to 10 weeks. A full LMS or school management system with multi-role access and reporting runs 12 to 18 weeks. We can also schedule launch around your academic calendar so you are not cutting over mid-term.
