Clever

Clever is the leading digital learning platform for K-12 education, serving as the foundational middleware that bridges Student Information Systems (SIS) with third-party educational applications. In 2026, its technical architecture has evolved to include AI-driven identity provisioning and advanced predictive analytics for student engagement. The platform utilizes a robust RESTful API and OAuth2 protocols to automate the complex process of rostering, ensuring that student data is synced securely and updated in real-time across hundreds of applications. By providing a unified Single Sign-On (SSO) portal, Clever eliminates login friction for students and teachers while maintaining rigorous data privacy standards including FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR compliance. For school districts, the service remains free of charge, funded by a partnership model where application developers pay for integration access. This ecosystem positioning makes Clever the de facto standard for digital classroom management, offering a seamless 'one-click' experience that scales from individual schools to the largest urban districts globally.
