2. We build our own products from the ground up.

Skyward has been devoted to K-12 education for over 40 years. We have never been acquired and we do not grow by piecing together pre-made modules. Our SIS and ERP solutions have been developed by Skyward, for Skyward customers, with a goal of creating a seamless experience for our district partners. Learn more about our built-not-bought approach.

3. Input from districts drives our development.

Who can give better suggestions about Skyward than the people using it every day? That’s our software design philosophy and it’s why we put such value on district feedback.

We created the User Research Panel and Product Ideas Portal to collect feedback from our district partners. Your opinions shape the next generation of Skyward and help improve the experience for everyone!

4. You'll enjoy the freedom to use third-party products.

We are committed to making your life easier, so if you want to use a third-party program, we’ve got you covered! Our systems align with the Ed-Fi data standard, which makes it easy to transfer data between Skyward and other systems you use.

What does that look like? It looks like fewer logins and less time spent entering the same data into multiple systems.
