5 Company Culture Tenets We’re Devoted To

At Clever, we cherish the culture we’ve built together while working to unlock new ways for all students to learn. Our culture tenets are central to that work, and they reflect our goals, our growth, and our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

A company culture that truly reflects its values and vision takes intention. Clever’s culture tenets define the common ground Cleverites share. They guide how we work together and what we expect of one another. Shared core values connect us, and they help our people feel engaged in the culture and the company.

We make these five tenets central to how we hire and how we recognize our teams. That keeps our culture tied to our vision and meaningful to our employees. Together, they show what makes us proud and how we work together.

Clever Is a Group Project

Clever succeeds because everyone on the team knows it takes every person in every role to deliver a great experience for our partners and schools. Cleverites live this tenet by keeping their teammates in mind as they work. They improve processes and systems across Clever for all teams, rather than helping one team at another’s expense. We work well together because we take a blameless approach to issues and focus on solving the problem.

Don’t Trust the Textbook

Clever keeps improving because Cleverites keep asking how we should be doing things. We “don’t trust the textbook” because we value questioning, experimenting, and finding new solutions. We’re eager to learn from others’ best practices, but we stay healthily skeptical, and that pushes us to question each other and ourselves. When we question others and welcome their questions in return, we all get better together.

Always a Student

Clever is a team of lifelong learners. Cleverites love work that lets them learn new things, and they keep learning in their personal lives too. They also love to share what they’ve learned. They teach teammates new skills and help others grow.

Make It Matter

Cleverites join Clever because they want to drive change in education. That passion pushes all of us to find ways our work can have a bigger impact. We celebrate every way Cleverites create lasting value for customers and colleagues, whether it’s a thoughtful email to a school administrator who’s had a tough week or championing a new feature for an application partner.

Equity for All

Clever believes the classrooms we serve and our own workplace should be diverse, equitable, and inclusive. We look for and celebrate actions that help us build diverse teams, include every voice, and create a safe space where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work. That means we keep reflecting, as a company and as individuals, on the ways we might perpetuate inequitable behaviors, practices, and systems, and we work to combat them. Beyond our walls, we use our collective influence, our work, and our community involvement to unlock learning for ALL students.

We’re looking for team members who will live these culture tenets in their everyday work. Sound like somewhere you’d feel at home? Join the team!Apply to Clever.
