A Team Approach to Modernizing Schools, Engaging Students, and Supporting Teachers
At Classmate, we take on the responsibility of building and managing the best technology experience for everyone in the school community, so teachers can focus on what they do best—teaching. Our partnership service is designed to provide schools with comprehensive support, from managing infrastructure to assisting in developing engaging curriculum-aligned learning experiences. By seamlessly integrating technology into the classroom, we help teachers inspire curiosity, ignite creativity, and foster a love of learning in every student.
Our Services: A Holistic Approach to Learning with Technology
The Classmate team offers a wide range of services that allow schools to transform their educational technology, ensuring both teachers and students have everything they need to thrive. Here’s how we support your school:
1️⃣ Teaching and Learning Support
- We design and co-teach curriculum-aligned learning experiences, encouraging teachers to step out of their comfort zones and explore new ways of teaching. This helps create vibrant, engaging classroom environments where experimentation and play are at the heart of learning.
- Our hands-on approach results in projects that captivate students, such as creating family immigration interview stories, running cross-curricular Dungeons and Dragons clubs, and programming robots to draw shapes—ensuring students are excited and engaged in their learning journey.
- We model these practices in the classroom and support teachers every step of the way, leading to highly motivated students and more meaningful learning experiences.
2️⃣ Professional Development for Teachers
- We provide in-person coaching and individualized professional development plans that align with each teacher’s technology skills and teaching goals.
- From leading workshops and PLCs (Professional Learning Communities) to offering curated digital resources, we ensure teachers have the skills and confidence to effectively integrate technology into their classrooms.
- Our training centre is filled with helpful how-to articles and videos, designed to help teachers stay current with best practices and continue evolving their skills.
3️⃣ Tech Support Tailored for Schools
- We offer direct tech support—both remote and in-person—to teachers, students, and staff, ensuring any technology-related issues are swiftly addressed.
- Our support extends to classroom tools, account management, and even onboarding or offboarding staff members to ensure smooth transitions.
- For students, we provide age-appropriate guidance so that everyone, from young learners to older students, feels confident and capable when learning with technology.
4️⃣ Systems & Network Administration
- We maintain your school’s network, ensuring strong Wi-Fi coverage, appropriate internet speed, and secure content filtering to provide a safe digital environment for all.
- Our cloud services management includes overseeing Google Workspace for Education, Apple School Manager, Seesaw, and other educational platforms so students and staff can focus on learning rather than tech-related barriers.
- We manage user accounts, configure communication tools, and ensure everything is set up for smooth day-to-day operations—and all the groundwork is laid each summer for an efficient start to the school year.
5️⃣ Device Management
- We handle all aspects of device management, from configuration and updates to regular maintenance and troubleshooting—keeping both student and teacher devices in optimal condition and providing a safe environment for learning.
- Our support includes managing classroom A/V, and assisting with warranty services so learning never stops due to technical issues.
- We track device inventory and prepare technology each summer, ensuring the new school year starts seamlessly for both staff and students.
6️⃣ Consulting and Strategy
- Classmate also provides strategic consulting to help schools align their technology plans with educational goals. From budgetary planning to vetting new services, we guide schools in optimizing their tech resources to meet their school’s vision.
- We assist in the digitization of workflows, auditing incidents, and providing analytics to help schools make data-informed decisions about their technology use.

What Principals Are Saying
When I first considered working with Classmate I considered the financial cost. Can we afford to invest more in IT when our school has needs in so many areas? After working with them for 3 years I now ask myself how we ever afforded to live, learn, and work without them.
Above and beyond the fast and seamless wifi, immediate and helpful support desk, and support with leasing hundreds of devices throughout the school, Classmate has become an integral part of our educational process and vision. The team members are like part of the staff, providing professional development, helpful advice, and a sympathetic ear. They make learning fun while keeping us near the cutting edge of technology and educational best practice. I highly recommend partnering with them to everyone I talk to.
With Classmate, we ensure that teachers feel supported, students are engaged, and schools have a technology environment that is safe and works smoothly. Together, we’re building a vibrant, collaborative educational experience where everyone can thrive.
