Most schools are fine with the included support plan.

If you can copy & paste into an Excel spreadsheet, are happy to learn from our in-app videos and email support, then the included support should be enough for you.

The premium support plan is for schools that would love a live onboarding session, help setting up their surveys, and phone support.

We do not offer free trials/pilots.

The cost to set up a school is too great for this to be a viable option for us and our focus is on supporting the school we have rather than "making sales".

We do however offer a LOT of options for schools to see if Class Creator is the right fit for them:

• Class Creator Demo School
• Class Creator Video Demos
• Class Handover Notes Example
• Student History Example
• Class Creator Brochure

We also have lots of testimonials (we have helped schools make over three million student placements) and offer a money-back guarantee.

Class Creator is an investment in a commonly undervalued resource in schools...time.

Our Commitment

We send the invoice through after your login details because we know how time-sensitive the process can be in schools and we don't to hold up your progress will you arrange payment.

It can't.

Class Creator's role is to empower educators, not to replace them.

Class Creator streamlines your existing process and provides you with all the tools you need to make the best classes possible.

Class list creation is both art and science:

Science
Class Creator helps gather and organize the data and make the initial version of the classes based on our "teacher logic" algorithm.

Art
Class Creator's entire process is built on the teacher judgement of students via surveys and all final placement decisions are made by the school/educators.

We have found this information is important for staff to know so that they realise Class Creator is "just" a tool to be used like Word, Excel or a Web Browser.

It's really easy.

Unlike most tech solutions in education, Class Creator was 100% designed by educators.

It's a very straightforward and linear process.

Most school can import their students & teacher, set up the surveys, and send them out to staff within an hour.

The teacher survey is super easy, it's a lot like Google Form or Survey Monkey.

Then admins configure the new classes, create classes and easily make edits.

The whole process could easily be done in a day, even a few hours if everything was ready to go.

Relatives and students with the same name are not separated automatically.

Some schools/families want siblings separated, while others want them paired together. That's why Class Creator lets you make all decisions about separations/pairings.
