Your entire school calendar,built for you.
synthEd is school planning software for K-12 administrators. Every recurring event, task, and deadline is already built and assigned to the right person. Start the year with a complete plan instead of a blank calendar.
Look around first, or set up for real.
Setting your own school up takes about 35 minutes, and it is the version worth judging us on. If you would rather see the thing before you spend that, open a demo school and click around.
Demo school
An account of your own, holding a made-up middle school's year. Click into anything, change anything. None of it is your school's data.
- Pick how full it is: 8, 25 or 50 events across 3 to 9 departments
- Every event comes with a sample of its checklist, on real dates that work around school holidays
- An email address and a password gets you in. No card, no school details, nothing to set up.
- Yours for 14 days. It goes read-only after that, so there is nothing to cancel.
90-day free trial
Your school, your calendar, your staff. Pick the events you run and they land on your term dates, around your holidays, assigned to the people who own them.
- We find your school in public records, so its address, grade levels and district are already filled in
- A 6-step setup covering your term dates, holidays, departments, events, and who owns what
- Nothing is charged for 90 days. Cancel in Settings before then and you are never billed.
- Everything you build is yours, and it rolls forward into next year
Good to knowNothing you do in a demo moves across to a real account. Sign the real one up with your school email address. The address your demo is under is already taken by the demo itself.
Administrators have never had software designed to run a school.
Generic project tools treat every task the same. School leaders need a system that understands the rhythm of the school year, and remembers it next year.
Scattered everywhere
Plans live in last year's emails, three shared spreadsheets, and the principal's head.
Lost on turnover
The counselor who knew how Honors Night ran just left. Nobody wrote it down.
Reinvented every year
Back‑to‑school night gets rebuilt from scratch every August. Same mistakes, same scramble.
Calendar-blind tools
Asana and Trello don't know about state testing windows, term boundaries, or Thanksgiving.
Roll itforward.Everything stays.
Your events, details, and know‑how move forward automatically. Experience becomes a system. Refine it year over year.
See how it worksEvery feature is school‑day aware.
Reminders that respect Thanksgiving. Templates that match your state. Roles that survive turnover.
School‑day aware reminders
Subtask offsets respect federal holidays and your school's custom calendar. A "10 days before" reminder won't fire on Thanksgiving break.
Ready‑to‑run event templates
Skip the blank slate. Start with complete event plans, then customize every detail to fit your school.
Position‑based assignments
Assign subtasks to "Registrar," not Jamie. When Jamie leaves, the next registrar inherits everything.
Mobile PWA
Install to home screen. Touch‑friendly drawers on phones, dense tables on desktop. Built for leaders who aren't at a desk.
Notifications you control
Per‑user digest times, email + in‑app toggles, kickoff & due‑soon alerts. No more inbox flooding.
Multi‑tenant by design
Districts → Schools → Departments. Strict isolation, role‑based access, full audit logging for compliance.
After‑Action Reports
Capture what worked and what didn't. Notes ride the event into next year so the next owner inherits the lessons.
Bulk import
CSV, XLSX, DOCX and ICS, with AI‑assisted cleanup, validation previews, and full undo.
Asana wasn't built for schools. School Planner is.
Built for the way schools plan. Every task in School Planner holds its own notes, links and documents, so the people doing the work have them in front of them.
Notes that stay
Capture decisions, updates, and context inside each task.
Links saved in each task
Store relevant links inside each task so your team has what they need, right where they're working.
Documents attached
Attach files and resources directly to each task.
Position‑based assignments
Assign tasks by role and position. Keep ownership and accountability clear.
Fully customizable deadlines
Every date and deadline is editable to fit your school's unique calendar.
School‑day aware scheduling
School‑day offsets and holiday calendars update automatically.
After‑action notes
Carry forward your reflections and improve every year.
Per school, not per seat.
Pricing scales with your school, not your team size. Every plan starts with a 90-day free trial.
Every tier is the same product. A larger school runs more events, more departments and more staff through it, so the price scales with the school, never with the feature list and never with the number of people you invite.
Small school
A single campus with one leadership team. Every staff member is included, so there is no seat count to manage.
Get startedMedium school
Where most schools land: several departments planning against one shared calendar.
Get startedLarge school
A big campus with more departments, more events and more staff. Priced for the load, not for a longer feature list.
Get startedSmall, Medium and Large are the same School Planner. The only thing a tier changes is the price.
