School365

What School365 does

School365 is a Shenzhen-headquartered, privately held software company founded in 2020 that builds an IoT-driven smart campus platform for K12 international schools in mainland China. The company sells a modular suite comprising Admissions365 (paperless admissions from inquiry through enrollment), Moments365 (learning management and parent-school communication with curriculum frameworks spanning EYFS, Key Stage, PYP, and Common Core), Livestream365 (live event streaming for parents), and a Smart Campus Solution built around an IoT smart card that unifies school bus, door security, dormitory, consumption, and attendance workflows. The platform is deployed on Alibaba Cloud in China Mainland with Livestream365 layered on Tencent Cloud Live Broadcasting, and is deeply integrated with the WeChat mini program and Official Account ecosystem, Microsoft Teams, Office365 SSO, and iSAMS.

The underlying technology is a cloud-based, bilingual (Chinese/English) education management platform with a "central CPU-like" data distribution and integration engine connecting disparate school systems (SIS, financial, HR) into a single unified workflow. Notable technical components include built-in real-time translation, single sign-on across Office365 and WeChat, customizable branded UI, and IoT-driven smart card hardware integration. School365 holds ISO9001 and ISO27001 (cert. 02820X10007R0S) certifications relevant to procurement at international schools.

School365 generates revenue through SaaS subscription fees for its platform modules, supplemented by professional services revenue from custom development (system integration, WeChat/SSO customization, branding, and report building), with WeChat Pay processing enrollment fee transactions. Go-to-market is a hybrid of product-led growth (free demo, self-service signup via WeChat mini program) and enterprise field sales targeting K12 international school administrators across at least four Chinese provinces. The customer base of nine named international schools includes Shekou International School, Nord Anglia Guangzhou, EtonHouse Nanjing, and Sedbergh School Fuzhou.
