Why partners choose Clever

Scale you can count on

Over decades of experience supporting complex systems for major school districts, Clever provides a reliable platform that guarantees stability and consistent performance, even during peak usage times.

One integration, any school

A single API connects you to every type of school system, from large districts on PowerSchool to small schools using spreadsheets, without custom work for each SIS or LMS. Save months of dev time and avoid brittle one-off integrations.

Security with every connection

By managing all your data exchanges through Clever, our security certifications (FERPA, COPPA, GDPR, SOC2) give districts confidence in your app, removing a key barrier in procurement and scaling.

Knowing what we know now, we should use Clever from Day One! I was previously one of the biggest holdouts, but using Clever has been so worth the money! We’re really happy – the onboarding for new and migrating customers feels really smooth and simple and we’re unblocking many previously blocked customers.

“With Clever and Layers managing rostering and SSO behind the scenes, we’ve eliminated the technical burden for educators—giving them back valuable time to focus on what truly matters: their students’ learning journey.”

Matheus Ishimoto
Partner Operations Manager, Khan Academy

When deciding between handling integrations yourself or choosing Clever, consider this: Does your solution offer the tools that allow districts to manage integrations independently? Do you have the dedicated team and stability to support integrations each year? If you’ve invested in both, great! But if not, think about whether investing yourself in integrations might limit your ability to offer product innovation and advancement.

Cracking the K-12 Code: Where Corporations Stumble

You’ve built a successful company. You know how to scale into new markets. The K-12 market looks like a natural extension, and many companies hit a wall because the playbook is not the same.

This centralized approach shapes how Brazilian education leaders ensure edtech reaches the country’s 47 million students and 2.1 million teachers across 179,000 schools (Reach Capital, […]
