Frog

What Frog does

Frog Education is a UK-headquartered education technology company that provides an integrated learning platform and suite of school-management tools, primarily serving K-12 schools, Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs), and British international schools. Its core product, FrogLearn, is positioned as an 'Educational Operating System' — a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and learning management system that consolidates teaching, learning, parental engagement, communication, and administrative workflows into a single sign-on hub, integrating with major MIS systems (SIMS, iSAMS, WCBS, Engage, Progresso, CMIS) and productivity suites (Google Workspace, Microsoft Office 365).

The platform architecture follows a core-plus-extensions model: FrogLearn sits alongside FrogProgress (curriculum and progress mapping), FrogPlay (a curriculum quiz engine with over 250,000 mapped questions), FrogHomeLearning (homework), and mobile applications (FrogGO/MyFrog and FrogSnap) for evidence capture and parental access. The FrogStore marketplace distributes 15+ pre-built modules (IT Helpdesk, HR Portal, Finance Portal, MAT Intranet, Digital Planners, ePortfolios, Appraisals & CPD, Behaviour Management, Online Safety, etc.), and FrogCode enables schools to build custom widgets. The Frog Academy, launched in 2018, is a collaborative community model where schools co-create solutions that are then shared free to all Frog customers — functioning as a content flywheel that extends platform value without proportional internal R&D cost. The most recent platform release (Hopper, 2024) added Announcements & Chat, Journals, Rubric Builder, and the 'Slides with AI' generative content feature.

Frog monetises primarily through annual and multi-year FrogLearn subscription licences, bundled with implementation planning, personalised training, and ongoing professional services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company also sells a separate product, FrogLMS, for corporate training and CPD. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (especially for MATs and international schools), product-led community-driven adoption via the Frog Academy, and demand generation through events (BETT, Learning Technologies, annual Frog conferences) and an extensive online community. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding rounds, operates from Halifax, UK, employs 51-100 people, and reports 12 million+ users connected globally across markets including the UK, Australia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, the USA, and Mexico.
