In a word, support. No sink or swim here.
 
Our job is to ensure you have the tools and knowledge you need to thrive.


 
 
 
From a pair of programmers to a world-class team serving 2,500 customers (that’s 7 million students!) in 21 states: great relationships, hard work, and fierce commitment to customer success paved the way to transforming school administration software.

 

 





 


Our success is home-grown 

Hailing from Midwestern roots, we continue a family-owned legacy grounded in building solutions (not buying them).

Quote

Prior to being hired at Skyward, I used the software as a school office manager and fell in love with it. My history as a Skyward user in the school setting, a Customer Success Trainer and a Customer Success Manager has given me context and understanding for customers’ experiences. That same empathy is abundant in the Customer Success Department, creating a strong bond between not only between Skyward and our customers, but also an unshakable bond between teammates. Skyward is great, and it’s the best move I ever made!
