Built by educators, for educators.

Creative Learning by Design started with a simple observation: teachers spend too much time managing paperwork, systems, and disconnected tools — and not enough time teaching. Every minute a case manager spends copying data between documents is a minute not spent with a student. Every hour a teacher spends building a sub packet from scratch is an hour taken from their weekend.

We built CLD to change that. Not by adding another app to a teacher's workflow, but by replacing the fragmented systems that slow schools down with one connected platform that handles the administrative side of education — so the humans in those buildings can focus on what they came there to do.

Our principles

Teachers deserve better tools

The people who spend the most time in classrooms should have the best technology — not the systems that were cheapest to procure.

Compliance shouldn't be painful

IDEA compliance, FERPA requirements, and state regulations exist for good reasons. Meeting them shouldn't require hiring a compliance coordinator.

Education has a greater purpose

A portion of every CLD subscription supports survivors of domestic violence — because the work we do in schools can extend beyond the classroom.

One platform beats many apps

The more systems a school uses, the more time staff spend managing integrations, logins, and data silos. We built everything in one place intentionally.

Our Commitment

Education tools with a greater purpose.

A portion of every Creative Learning by Design subscription goes toward supporting survivors of domestic violence. We believe the work educators do in schools extends beyond lesson plans and compliance deadlines — and that building a better future for students means caring about the communities they come home to every night.
