NetSupport School

What NetSupport School is

NetSupport School is classroom-management and student-monitoring software for teaching, managing devices and assessing students. Teachers can keep an adjustable thumbnail view of student screens, applications, websites, typing and collaboration. They can also take remote control of student screens or blank and lock selected screens. For lessons, teachers can share screens, applications, presentations, videos and websites, with annotation tools, and distribute files or folders to students before collecting their work. The software includes activity monitoring, live screen viewing, web filtering, device controls and behavior tracking.

NetSupport School connects classes using Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android and iOS devices. SIS mode links with ClassLink OneRoster and Google Classroom. Pricing is available on request, with device-based licensing and buy-once options. A 30-day trial provides all features for up to 40 devices and does not require a credit card. Pricing includes free weekday support across global time zones and online training. NetSupport Limited, established in 1989, says customer data is stored in UK or EU hosting locations and that it complies with GDPR, the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and PECR.

Who it suits

NetSupport School suits teachers and schools that need to monitor student activity, manage devices and deliver lessons across mixed-platform classes. It also fits teams using ClassLink OneRoster or Google Classroom in SIS mode, provided they can install the required Windows Server component.

Limits

The trial lasts 30 days and supports up to 40 devices. A 100-machine deployment requires a 100-user licence, even when loaded from a server. Android tablets must run version 12 or later; versions from 15.10.0003 also require arm64-v8a.

Getting started

1. Visit the NetSupport School website.
2. Request pricing or begin the 30-day trial.
3. Use the trial on up to 40 devices without a credit card.
4. Connect teacher and student devices across supported platforms.
5. Install NetSupport Connectivity Server on Windows Server if using SIS integration.

Verdict

Choose NetSupport School if your classroom needs student monitoring, remote device controls and lesson sharing across Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, Android or iOS. The 30-day trial covers up to 40 devices, and support and training are included with pricing. Look elsewhere if you need a stated upfront price or cannot meet the licensing and server requirements for your deployment.
