Grading and reporting software for private schools

Align your core values with your grading and reporting and make the most of every minute in your school day.

Sign up for our new Solstice FREE Edition and be up and running in under 15 minutes. We provide the most powerful and elegant grading and reporting tool ever available for K-12 schools.

“There are many software systems available for K-12 schools. Teachers and Administrators consistently tell us how frustrated they are with their existing systems. We decided to build Solstice after never finding a grading and reporting solution that fully served a teacher’s needs nor met the diverse and unique missions within all of our schools.

As a K-12 administrator and educator I ask you to give us a try. We are intentionally different by design and feel. I promise your teachers will be thrilled with Solstice and will also have more time to focus on your students and academic outcomes.”

— Byron Delane Kennedy
Founder

Grading and reporting are notoriously time-consuming and inefficient for teachers and registrars.

We have worked with private schools for over 12 years, and we realize how time is a precious and scarce resource.  Solstice, our grade book solution is designed with school employees in mind and their need to make the most of every minute.

Connecting your mission to academic value is the lifeblood of private schools.

More and more, private schools are asked to justify their program.  Grading and reporting are one of the more concrete ways that families and students have a window into your school. Solstice further enables you to integrate your school's unique core values, standards and story into grading rubrics and academic reports.

“I've used a number of student information and learning management systems – both custom-built by tech giants and pre-packaged by school-focused companies - and I can confidently say Solstice is one of the cleanest and most intuitive products I've ever seen.

— Tim Basse

School Coordinator, East Bay School for Boys, Berkeley, CA

“That was easy!”

— Abbie Koss

Head of School, Aurora School, Oakland, CA

“I can already see that Solstice is more clean, simple and intuitive than the gradebooks I've used in the past. I don’t want to feel like I'm programming just to enter my grades.”

— Middle School Math Teacher, Belmont, California

“The overall appearance of the app and the report layout look very clean. Solstice is lightyears ahead of the other solutions I've tried in the past."

— Ned Fluet
Build, English Language Arts, & Director of Expeditions, Peninsula School for Boys
