IT for San Francisco Private Schools — Every Classroom, Every Day
Independent schools in San Francisco promise families something specific: small classes, real attention, and a campus that works. Technology is quietly load-bearing in that promise — 1:1 devices, learning platforms, admissions systems, and the safeguarding duties that come with educating minors. We keep it all running without a big internal IT staff.
- Full-campus coverage: classrooms, labs, admin, and the auditorium AV
- 1:1 iPad and Chromebook programs managed at scale
- Student data protected — FERPA/COPPA-aware systems and access
- Content filtering and safeguarding without breaking learning
- Blackbaud, Veracross, FACTS, and LMS platforms supported daily

Small Staff, Campus-Sized Expectations
A San Francisco independent school competes for families who work at companies with world-class IT — and those parents notice when the admissions portal times out or the third grader’s iPad cart didn’t charge. Yet most schools run technology with a staff of one, or none: a director of technology who is also teaching two sections, or an office manager with admin passwords and good intentions.
The workload is broader than most businesses’. Hundreds of student devices that get dropped, lost, and creatively misused. Teachers who need the projector working in ninety seconds, not a ticket number. An SIS holding everything from grades to custody arrangements. Fundraising and admissions seasons that concentrate a year’s stakes into weeks. And a duty of care — filtering, monitoring, access control — that exists because the users are children.
- Morning-bell readiness — issues fixed before first period
- Admissions and re-enrollment season treated as peak load
- Change freeze around grading and report-card windows
- Event support for the nights that fill the auditorium
From the Front Office to the Science Lab
