About Schoolbox
The trusted platform that grows with schools and the people who power them.
Schoolbox helps K–12 schools worldwide simplify complexity, strengthen connection, and grow with confidence, through one powerful, purpose-built platform.
Our mission
Our goal is to empower schools to grow through connection, simplicity, and purposeful technology.
More than just technology

Created by people who know schools

Education is the most important work in the world
We exist to serve the people who shape young lives — teachers, students, and school communities. That’s why we build technology that elevates connection, not complexity.

Built for global schools
Our platform adapts to context, curriculum, and culture, whether you’re operating a network of campuses in the UAE, a bilingual school in Asia, or a high-performing independent school in New Zealand.

We believe in partnership, not just product
We work hand-in-hand with schools and partners to co-create value. From integration and implementation to strategy and support, we’re in it for the long haul.
The Schoolbox story
Schoolbox began over 20 years ago with a conversation between developers and a school, and a shared vision to do things better. Today, Schoolbox supports hundreds of schools across more than a dozen countries, from single-campus schools to complex networks.

Schoolbox Founders (2002): Sean Richards, Matt Sambell and James Leckie.

Schoolbox Executive Leadership Team (2025): Duane Cox, Andrea Pesavento, Grant Van Der Kruk, Natalie Neilson, Scott Salter, Chris Barr and James Leckie.
