Connecting every student to a world of learning

Software has the potential to empower teachers and create new ways to learn. But one thing must happen first. Everyone must be able to log in—quickly and securely.

Advancing education with technology that works for students everywhere

More than 110,000 schools use Clever, including 95 of the largest 100 districts. That’s 60% of US students logging in with Clever monthly! We are proud to work with the education community to bring our vision of accessible and secure technology to the world.

Inclusion and Belonging at Clever

At Clever, we know that becoming a truly inclusive organization where all can belong is ongoing and intentional. So our efforts on inclusion and belonging focus on three core areas: our internal people systems and culture, our products, and our role in the broader edtech ecosystem.
