Build privacy-safe school apps
from your own data.
Free for educators. Deployed in your school’s own cloud when you adopt. Start from guided templates or describe the app your team needs. Halo turns academic, wellbeing, attendance, curriculum, and parent-communication data into usable school apps — Halo Studio (Free) without sending identifiable student records to AI.
Guided templatesDrag-drop. Pick blocks, ship a dashboard in 5 minutes.New · AI app builderHalo StudioDescribe what you need. Halo plans, builds, tests it live.
Either path deploys into your school’s own tenant. Identifiable student records never leave your environment — they are de-identified before AI works with them.
How Halo grows with you
Start free. Build with AI. Deploy for your school.
- 01
Start free
Use Halo as an individual educator. No procurement. No login required unless you want to save your work.
- 02
Build with AI
Use guided templates or Halo Studio to build dashboards, IEP workflows, pastoral check-ins, parent-ready summaries, intervention trackers, and custom school apps.
- 03
Deploy for your school
When your school is ready, Halo deploys into the school’s controlled environment with governance, access control, parent portal, integrations, and implementation support. Your IT team can run it — or we operate it for you, inside your environment, with every action in your audit log.

Summarise any website for a class — in under a minute.
Paste an article, syllabus page, or news story. Halo returns a teacher-friendly summary, three classroom discussion questions pitched at year level, and a warm parent-newsletter blurb.
Public URLs only. No student data is sent. Halo fetches the page server-side and streams the summary back.
Start from a template
Six apps schools already use, ready to clone.
Each template renders in your school's brand and deploys to your workspace in one click. Customise from there — by chat, by clicking blocks, or pass it to Halo Studio.

Why Halo
The wedge generic AI builders can't replicate.
Generic AI app builders don't know what an ACARA code is, how a Mercy charism statement reads, or how to keep identifiable student records out of an AI prompt. Halo is school-shaped from the first character.
School-aware grounding
Every block cites real ACARA codes, real Hattie effect sizes, real charism statements. Not paraphrase — verbatim references the model can call as tools.

Privacy-first by architecture
Identifiable student records are not sent to AI. Halo works with de-identified, aggregated, or school-controlled data depending on the deployment mode. Schools decide where data is stored, who can access it, and how it is shared.
De-identified profiles · school-controlled deployment · NCCD-aware
Two paths, one workspace
Pick a polished template and customise — fast and safe for board demos. Or open Halo Studio, describe what your team needs, and let AI agents build it.

How Halo Studio works
Type. Watch. Tweak. Deploy.
Multiple agents take one sentence and ship a working app — visibly, on screen.
01
Describe it
"Year 6 pastoral check-in for Mrs. Lin's class." One sentence is enough.
02
Agents build
Planner → UI → Binder → Tester. Five agents work the spec, code, data, and tests in real time on screen.
03
Tweak inline
Click any block to edit it. Or type "make this 4 columns" — agents patch the spec without re-building.
04
Deploy
One click — the app lands in your workspace. Share via /p/<slug> for public read, or keep private.
Build something we haven't shipped yet
Halo Studio doesn't ship templates.
It builds your app from a description.
Type what you need — "Year 6 pastoral check-in for Mrs. Lin's class", "an IEP workspace for our casework team" — and watch five AI agents draft the spec, wire the data, write any custom code, run the tests, and ship the app to your workspace. Every block cites a real ACARA code, a real Hattie effect size, your school's charism.

21 in-app agents
The drafting tools your team already needs.
Every Halo app — template-built or Studio-built — embeds these as clickable tiles. They cite curriculum verbatim, ground in Hattie evidence, and frame in your school's charism.
Intervention plan
Recommends interventions for a student or cohort, citing Hattie effect sizes.
IEP draft
Drafts an Individual Education Plan — ACARA codes, NCCD adjustments, SMART goals.
Parent summary
Plain-English summary for parent-teacher interviews. Tone-aware.
Wellbeing assessment
Wellbeing snapshot + action prompts grounded in pastoral framework.
Meeting prep
Pre-reading for case conferences. Ignatian-style discernment where applicable.
External referral
Drafts a referral to paediatrician, EP, or OT — privacy-clean and structured.
Cohort risk report
Leadership-shaped summary of who needs attention this week and why.
Student transition
Year-to-year or school-to-school handover document, with continuity notes.
Case review
De-identified case review for staff training. Pseudonyms throughout.
What we believe
A shorter version of why Halo exists.
Schools should own their data.
For years the EdTech sector has held schools in a black box. Modular contracts. Locked-in dashboards. Student records sitting in vendors' clouds. Educators do the work; vendors hold the keys.
We think teachers and school leaders understand their students better than anyone. The technology around them should expand what they can see and do, not narrow it. Halo runs locally first, and when a school adopts it at scale, deploys into the school's own controlled environment. Schools with an IT team run it themselves; schools without one have us (or a certified local partner) operate it — still inside the school's environment, with every action auditable and access the school can revoke at any time. We never hold identifiable student records in our tenant.
One price. Everything in.
Most school software charges per-module, per-seat, per-feature, per-API-call. By the time a leadership team has bought wellbeing + dashboards + reporting + parent portal + integrations, the bill is a six-figure shopping list — and the pieces still don't talk to each other.
We believe if you pay for Halo, you get the whole platform. Studio, Guided Builder, all in-app agents, parent portal, audit log, customer-tenant deployment. No trial cliffs. No add-ons. No upsells. One number per school.
Why is this free for individual teachers?
Access to capable tools shouldn't be gated behind procurement cycles or signed contracts. We want every teacher to be able to try the latest in school-data AI without raising a purchase order or sitting through a sales demo.
Schools that adopt Halo at scale pay for deployment, integrations, governance, and support — that's where the business runs. Teachers using Halo on their own data, in their own browser, are the foundation, not the funnel.
For families, made by educators
Built so every parent has the same insights as the school.
Most school AI is built for staff. Halo is built so that parents and educators both get access to the same analytics and AI agents. Drop your child's school report and you'll get a personalised dashboard in under a minute — academic performance, attendance, and growth areas summarised in plain English (not edu-jargon). Don't have a report on hand? You can also try the portal with built-in mock data first.
When a school adopts Halo at scale, the parent portal becomes part of the school's toolkit — same dashboards, same agents, now connected to your child's actual data through the school's controlled environment. Many of our parents are also teachers; Halo is the same platform either way.
Asking your school via the contact form is a real path — we follow up with the school's leadership team directly.

School-issued logins · school-controlled · same privacy posture
One product, two doors.
Both lead to your workspace.
Templates ship in your school's brand. Studio builds the ones we haven't shipped yet. Same workspace, same agents, same privacy posture.
No identifiable records sent to AI
Halo works with de-identified, aggregated, or school-controlled data depending on the deployment. Identifiable student records — names, grades, DOBs — are never sent to AI models.
ACARA + NCCD aware
Every block cites real curriculum codes and adjustment categories — your IEPs, reports, and dashboards stand up to audit.
Deployed in your school’s cloud
Halo deploys into your school’s own Microsoft tenant — run by your IT team, or operated by us inside your environment with every action in your audit log and access you can revoke at any time. Identifiable student data stays inside your environment either way — by architecture, not by policy. No other AI school platform deploys this way.
