Edsby Edsby has been building award-winning software for education for over thirty years. Engage better with parents.

Edsby is the first social learning system specifically built for the unique needs of K-12 school districts. Unlike other systems, it's intended for K-12 district-wide use instead of adoption ad hoc teacher-by-teacher. Edsby connects to back-end directory, SIS and other systems so teachers don’t have to enter students or maintain parent contact information themselves, while at the same time as allowing for district-wide adherence to local assessment, reporting, terminology and other standards. Ensure your schools operate the way you want them to with Edsby, while complying with privacy and audit trail requirements. Lighten teachers’ administrative workloads with electronic attendance, course planning and a world class grade book. Facilitate social interaction in individual classes online. Distribute news more effectively and receive new levels of insights into student achievement. All while allowing students, teachers and parents to use any device. Edsby is a modern, web-based SaaS application that runs in the cloud and allows all your students, teachers and parents to engage from anywhere. Edsby is made by the founders and architects of FirstClass, a messaging and collaboration product popular among school districts around the world for more than 20 years.

Competency-based education (CBE), is the future of K-12.

But K-12 SISes and LMSes were built to manage grades, not growth toward outcomes. Today, Edsby introduces Edsby Destinations, a new type of assessment system that enables every student and their parents to see where they are in their learning against outcomes, and how to get where they need to be.

Edsby Destinations is a scalable competency- and outcomes-based assessment and reporting system for school districts and regional governments.

New workflow capabilities allow K-12 districts and schools to digitize their most complex forms and approval processes. No more force-fitting business forms products when you can reach your parents and staff through the K-12 LMS they already use.

A recent Newsweek feature highlights how 84% of K-12 educators are overwhelmed by daily tasks, pointing to constant app-switching as a major culprit.

Educators don't need more software; they need unified infrastructure. When parent communication, assessment, and analytics live under one roof, the core philosophy behind platforms like Edsby, technology can give teachers the freedom to focus on what actually matters: their students.

"Everything in one place for students, staff, and families," says Rita Russo, Director of Education & CEO at Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPRDSB).

For Russo, solving tech overload for 34,000 students came down to one word: simplicity.

Instead of forcing staff and families to juggle disconnected apps, KPRDSB brought LMS, attendance, grades, and parent messaging under one roof with Edsby.

The result was staff buy-in, daily family engagement, and a truly connected school community.

Check out the full case study to see how Edsby brought cohesion to KPRDSB.

We're honoured to be featured by the City of Richmond Hill spotlighting local businesses making an impact.

They published an article capturing why we built Edsby in the first place: to bring whole school communities together around trust, identity, and accountability.

Today, Edsby supports millions of users across Canada and around the world — from the York Region District School Board right here at home, to school systems in New Zealand and Georgia. None of that would have been possible without the incredible community and talent here in Richmond Hill.
