About Intellispark

Every student deserves a whole community in their corner.

We are former educators and education technology specialists. For decades we have worked with tens of thousands of administrators, teachers and clinicians on some of education’s hardest problems.

Our story

We founded Intellispark so every student knows what it feels like to have a team behind them.

Intellispark connects administrators, teachers, clinicians, families and students, so they can act on challenges and opportunities as they happen. Communication gets easier, everyone stays in the loop, and it becomes simpler to keep every student on a path to success.

Meeting the needs of today’s students takes a more modern technology backbone.

Our motivation

Concerns about student well-being and mental health are rising while academic performance lags. Responding well takes new ways of working that get more done in less time. That is why we built Intellispark.

Why it works

Struggling or thriving, every student benefits when the adults around them share what they see. Built around real-time messaging, Intellispark helps teams solve problems before they become crises, leaving more capacity for the big ones.
