Our Mission
Open learning communities by connecting what matters.
Through consolidated solutions and meaningful connections, we ignite the ‘aha’ moments that open the future for the whole child and the community.
Who We Are
Abre grew from a need. As classrooms filled with Chromebooks and students had more access to edtech, we noticed that many of the software solutions were messy. We faced countless logins, siloed data, terrible UI/UX, and increasing confusion among different users. We were missing the simplicity. We wanted a one stop shop for our learning community. So we created it.
Abre started in a public school district. We began small, with just two Abre Apps. With constant feedback and helpful guidance, we grew our app offerings. Abre is quite literally made by educators. Our founders have years of experience teaching and holding administrative leadership in education.
Neighboring schools noticed Abre’s growth. They viewed Abre solving challenges and looked to implement Abre in their districts. We started Abre.io to meet the growing needs of the K12 community. Today we’re in hundreds of schools serving hundreds of thousands of students in many states (and a few countries).
