The integration brings sports fixtures, music lessons, events and activities into Schoolbox, alongside learning and school communication.
Schoolbox and SOCS have partnered to bring learning and co-curricular life closer together. Schools can keep managing their programmes in SOCS while making information available in the Schoolbox calendars, dashboards and pages their community already uses.
For students, families and staff, this brings more of the school day into a familiar place, from classroom learning and school updates to the next music lesson, fixture or club.
“Schools rely on a range of specialist platforms to support teaching, learning and the wider school experience. By integrating with SOCS, we’re making it easier to bring co-curricular activities and fixtures into the Schoolbox environment that staff, students and parents already use every day. It’s another step towards a more connected school community, giving people easier access to the information they need while preserving the strengths of the platforms they know and trust.”
See learning, sport and activities together
Sport, music and clubs are part of how students participate in school life. Knowing what is happening, when and where matters to students and the people supporting them.
The integration makes SOCS information available within Schoolbox:
- For students: imported music lessons and fixtures appear alongside their timetable.
- For families: upcoming activities for linked children are available through the My Fixtures dashboard component.
- For staff and coaches: calendars, dashboards and pages can show fixture details, teams, participants, results and lesson schedules.
For families, this brings co-curricular commitments into the school-branded Community Portal they already use for school information and communication.
Schools choose which calendar events, sports fixtures, music lessons and co-curricular activity feeds to enable, and how to display them for their community.
“At SOCS, our mission is to help schools deliver exceptional co-curricular programmes with less administration, giving staff more time to focus on students and the experiences that make school life so valuable. Partnering with Schoolbox brings these two important parts of school life closer together, making it simpler for staff, pupils and parents to stay connected. It’s an exciting step in our ambition to extend SOCS’s global reach and support more of the world’s leading schools through a more integrated technology ecosystem.”
Manage programmes in SOCS. View information in Schoolbox
Schoolbox combines learning management, a school-branded Community Portal and Pastoral Care in one connected K–12 platform. Our learning management capabilities support curriculum planning, assessment and feedback. The SOCS integration brings co-curricular information alongside that learning and community experience.
SOCS remains the source of truth for imported programme information. Staff continue managing programmes in SOCS, with changes appearing in Schoolbox after the next successful synchronisation. Schools can also configure single sign-on across both systems so users can access SOCS with their Schoolbox account.
Supporting the next generation of globally connected schools
As schools worldwide look to streamline their systems and improve the digital experience for their communities, the partnership represents another step forward in connecting the platforms that support every aspect of school life.
For SOCS, trusted by more than 1,250 leading schools in 45 countries, the integration supports its ambition to extend its global reach and strengthen its position as the unified platform at the heart of the world’s leading schools.
Together, Schoolbox and SOCS are helping schools bring learning and co-curricular life closer together, giving staff more time to focus on student and making it easier for families to stay connected to the experiences that make their school unique.
