Clever
The identity platform for education
Clever is an identity and access management platform designed for K-12 schools. It connects a school's student information system (SIS) to edtech applications, providing automated rostering, single sign-on, and controls over what data is shared with each application. The platform aims to reduce manual account setup, keep class rosters synchronized as SIS records change, and give administrators visibility and control over student data sharing.
Core capabilities include automated rostering through direct SIS connections, single sign-on, Clever Badges, the Clever Portal, Clever Analytics, and support for the 1EdTech OneRoster standard. Security features include multi-factor authentication, Clever IDM for automated account provisioning to Google, Active Directory, and Entra ID, password management, and classroom MFA that works without a second device. Clever also offers Guardian Portal, substitute access, and technical consulting and training services.
Clever is intended for K-12 schools, districts, and edtech application partners. Rostering and single sign-on are free for schools and districts in the US and Canada, with paid tiers adding layered identity management, advanced analytics, custom branding, and premium support. Additional paid services include live training, technical consulting, and premium support.
