The Classroom Experience platform gives every teacher and student their own AI tools for personalized learning.

Lehi, UT – April 2, 2025 – SchoolAI, a leading AI platform for teaching and learning, today announced it has closed $25 million in Series A funding to tackle education’s fundamental challenge: helping teachers provide personalized attention to every student. The $25 million round was led by Insight Partners, a global venture capital firm known for investing in high-growth technology and software companies. Existing investors, including NextView Ventures, The General Partnership, and Peterson Ventures, also participated, bringing SchoolAI’s total funding to $32 million to date.

SchoolAI’s Classroom Experience platform combines AI assistants for teachers that help with classroom preparation and other administrative work, and Spaces–personalized AI tutors, games, and lessons that can adapt to each student’s unique learning style and interests. Together, these tools give teachers actionable insights into how students are doing, and how the teacher can deliver targeted support when it matters most. “Teachers and schools are navigating hard challenges with shrinking budgets, teacher shortages, growing class sizes, and ongoing recovery from pandemic-related learning gaps,” said Caleb Hicks, founder and CEO of SchoolAI. “It’s harder than ever to understand how every student is really doing. Teachers deserve powerful tools to help extend their impact, not add to their workload. This funding helps us double down on connecting the dots for teachers and students, and later this year, bringing school administrators and parents at home onto the platform as well.”

Launched for classrooms in August of 2023, SchoolAI is used by teachers and students in more than 1 million classrooms across all 50 U.S. states and over 80 countries worldwide. The platform is embedded in more than 400 school districts through strategic partnerships that train teachers and students how to use AI in a safe, managed way.

“Partnering with SchoolAI has allowed us to introduce a tool in the classroom that provides teachers with valuable insights into their students’ progress in every class,” said Dr. Anthony Godfrey, Superintendent of Jordan School District, which was recognized by ISTE as a Distinguished District for their work bringing AI to students. “SchoolAI makes it easy to help students in a way that wasn’t possible before, in a scalable way that makes sure our teachers can do more amazing work without being overburdened or burnt out.”
With this new funding, SchoolAI will continue scaling to more schools across the globe, develop new products for students, parents, and school administrators, and expand its implementation team to provide comprehensive onboarding and professional development. The company remains committed to equipping stakeholders with powerful tools that can personalize learning and deliver the best school and learning experiences.

“We believe AI presents a transformative opportunity for education, and SchoolAI is accelerating the way AI gets adopted by teachers and administrators,” said Nikitas Koutoupes, Managing Director at Insight Partners. “Their district-ready platform can support both teaching and learning without compromising critical thinking skills or instructional quality. SchoolAI’s relentless focus on student outcomes aligns with the trajectory of the market that we envision. We are thrilled to be onboard.” “Education shapes our collective future, so when new technologies enter the classroom, the bar must be exceptionally high,” said Stephanie Palmeri, board member and Partner at NextView Ventures. “SchoolAI stands out because they take the serious things seriously–they’ve built a team of educators and technologists who respect the profound responsibility of bringing AI into learning environments where things like safety and privacy can’t be compromised. This authentic ‘by educators, for educators’ approach is why we were compelled to lead SchoolAI’s seed round and continue to invest.”
