Schoology

Schoology is a cloud-based learning management system (LMS) and social networking platform designed for K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and corporate training. Founded in 2007 by Jeremy Friedman, Ryan Hwang, and Tim Trinidad, the platform enables educators to create, manage, and share academic content, assessments, and collaborative learning experiences. Schoology integrates with various student information systems (SIS), gradebooks, and third-party tools, offering features such as course management, analytics, communication tools, and mobile access. In 2019, Schoology was acquired by PowerSchool, a leading provider of K-12 education technology solutions, for an undisclosed amount. The platform serves millions of users worldwide and is known for its intuitive interface, robust assessment capabilities, and strong community features. Schoology's infrastructure is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), as indicated by its DNS records, ensuring scalability and reliability. The domain schoology.com was registered in 2007 and is set to expire in 2026, reflecting a long-standing presence in the edtech space. The platform is widely adopted in the United States and internationally, with a strong emphasis on personalized learning and data-driven instruction. Despite its popularity, Schoology faces competition from other LMS platforms like Canvas, Google Classroom, and Blackboard. The company's headquarters is in New York City, and it operates as a subsidiary of PowerSchool, which is headquartered in Folsom, California. Schoology's global rank of #4589 underscores its significant web presence and user engagement. The platform continues to evolve with features like AI-powered analytics and integrations with emerging educational technologies.
