Everything ClassConnect does

Every feature, grouped by the part of school life it belongs to. They all share one set of records, so a mark, an absence or a payment entered once shows up everywhere it's needed.

Teaching & learning

The everyday work of the classroom, in one place – so teachers spend their time teaching, not copying marks between books.

Gradebook

Weekly and monthly tests, projects, SBAs and exams in one gradebook for each class and subject.

  • Class averages and colour-coded marks at a glance
