The managed cloud for K-12 software

Bring the software. We'll run the environment.

K-12 managed cloud hosting for school districts, schools, and EdTech vendors. Deploy websites, n8n workflow automation, SIS-supporting services, and private AI runtimes on SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001-certified infrastructure — without turning your team into a DevOps shop.

< 1 hour

Self-serve n8n environments can launch in under an hour. Most other catalog items require deployment review first.

What we run

SchoolPress, private AI runtimes, workflow automation, district apps, SIS support

Customer-controlled data, managed infrastructure, daily operations

Operating model

Customer-controlled

Data, credentials, domains, and content stay under your control

Built for the K-12 ecosystem

  • K-12 districts
  • Independent schools
  • EdTech vendors
  • K-12 consultants
  • Charter networks
  • ESC / co-ops

Standardized apps are for that full audience. SIS managed hosting and SIS training environments are contracted by the licensed institution, or an agent acting on that institution's paper.

What we host for K-12

Real K-12 software, hosted right.

From workflow automation and SIS-supporting operations to SchoolPress private AI runtimes and internal IT systems — these are the patterns we run today.

Workflow automation implementation

Parent communications, attendance reminders, SIS-adjacent syncs, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 automations.

SchoolPress implementation

Custom SchoolPress rollout for school sites, communications, and branded mobile apps.

Parent & student portals

App-style portals with SIS-aware data and SSO into district identity.

SIS managed hosting

Hosting and operations for a SIS the licensed institution already has the right to run. Consultants and vendors contract only as that licensee or its authorized agent.

SchoolPress mobile app launch

District-branded iOS and Android experiences tied to school communications.

Internal IT helpdesk

FreeScout, Zammad, GLPI — replace shared inboxes with a real ticketing tool.

Athletics & youth sports

Roster, schedule, scores, and event sites for school athletic programs.

District community & news

Public-facing news sites, parent forums, and event calendars with editor workflows.

Custom K-12 apps

District-developed software, portals, and internal tools operated with managed support.

Private AI runtime

Dedicated model endpoints for approved school workflows, document Q&A, helpdesk triage, and internal staff assistants.

Why k-12.cloud

Two paths to launch — both with the same operational standard.

Some services are standardized and ready for self-serve. Others need a conversation first. Either way, every environment runs under the same managed promise.

Catalog of K-12 patterns

workflow automation, private AI runtimes, parent portals, SchoolPress, athletics, IT helpdesks, and SIS-supporting services — production patterns ready to deploy.

Deployment review for sensitive workloads

SIS-connected and privacy-sensitive services go through formal intake, scoping, and approval.

GitOps from day one

Each district gets a private repository. Every change lands as a reviewable PR with full audit trail.

Path 1

Self-serve deployment

Standardized K-12 services. Pick a product, start a 7-day trial or buy outright, and we provision a private environment automatically — typically in under an hour.

  • SchoolPress-ready sites, athletics & community sites
  • Internal IT helpdesks (FreeScout, Zammad)
  • Lightweight district portals and internal tools
  • Subdomain + TLS provisioned automatically
  • Auto-suspend on trial expiry, upgrade anytime
Browse self-serve services
Path 2

Deployment review

Sensitive, regulated, or custom K-12 workloads. We scope it together, then deliver a written proposal before any environment is provisioned.

  • Workflow automation environments, including n8n-based deployments where customer-authorized or commercially licensed
  • Private AI model hosting and district AI runtime environments
  • Customer-provided SIS platform hosting
  • Parent/student portals with SIS data access
  • SchoolPress implementation + branded mobile rollout
  • Country-specific data residency plans (US/Canada)

Trust by design

We run it. You control it.

Customer-controlled

Your data, credentials, domains, and content stay under your control. Software ownership and license rights depend on the deployment model.

No secrets in Git

Credentials live in a managed vault. Configuration is versioned and auditable.

Operated, not abandoned

Monthly reports, monitoring, and a real human on call — not a dashboard.

Data sovereignty options

US and Canada data residency options with country-specific implementation plans.

Frequently asked

Common questions about k-12.cloud.

What we host, who we serve, where data lives, and how we operate.

What is k-12.cloud?

k-12.cloud is managed cloud hosting purpose-built for K-12. School districts, schools, and EdTech vendors deploy websites, workflow automation, SIS-supporting services, and private AI runtimes into dedicated environments operated by k-12.cloud on SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001-certified infrastructure.

Who is k-12.cloud for?

K-12 districts, independent schools, charter networks, ESC/co-ops, EdTech vendors, and the consultants and integrators who serve them. Standardized apps — SchoolPress, helpdesks, n8n, custom district apps, private AI — are for that full audience. SIS managed hosting and SIS training environments are contracted by the licensed institution, or an agent acting on that institution’s paper. Consultants and vendors cannot bring a district SIS unless they are the licensee or authorized agent of the licensee.

What services does k-12.cloud host?

Workflow automation (n8n), SchoolPress sites and mobile apps, parent and student portals, SIS managed hosting, athletics and community sites, internal IT helpdesks (FreeScout, Zammad, GLPI), custom K-12 apps, and private AI runtimes for approved district workflows.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — the managed n8n workflow automation environment offers a 7-day trial with no setup fee and no credit card required. Trials include persistent workflow storage so partner installs and your n8n setup survive redeploys; production adds a managed Postgres data layer and backups.

Where is k-12.cloud data hosted?

On SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001-certified infrastructure. We offer US and Canada data residency options with country-specific implementation plans where required.

Who owns the data and software?

Customers retain ownership of their data, credentials, domains, and content. Software ownership and license rights depend on the deployment model — customer-provided, open-source, commercially licensed, or delivered as a managed partner-supported service.

Who operates k-12.cloud?

k-12.cloud is a trade name operated by Solo Work, Inc. The team that builds the platform is the team that operates customer environments and responds to support requests.
