What Schoolbox is

Schoolbox combines a learning management system, branded community portal, and pastoral-care tools for K–12 schools. Teaching features cover lesson planning, course and class structures, assessment, grading, reporting, and learning analytics. Communication tools include dashboards, timetables, push notifications, news, email digests, forums, polls, and social streams. Listed AI tools can generate, improve, summarise, or translate content and include an AI lesson planner; AI use may incur additional costs. Schoolbox is available on the web, through an API, or as a self-hosted installation. Listed integrations include Google apps, Office 365, LTI 1.3, SIS/SMS systems, and API workflows. Plans add different combinations of community, learning, pastoral care, extracurricular, resource-booking, and badge features. Annual per-student prices listed are 17.00 AUD, 21.00 AUD, 25.00 AUD, 29.00 AUD, and 37.00 AUD for the named plans. Teaching support is currently English-only.
