About 4Schools

About Us

We build web and student service solutions that work the way schools do.

4Schools is the software development team at CESA 6, a nonprofit educational agency in Wisconsin. Our mission is to help public school districts, private schools, and education nonprofits communicate clearly, manage systems efficiently, and focus on what matters most… serving students.

We design tools that are intuitive, practical, and built with direct input from educators. Whether it’s launching a website, managing IEPs, tracking 504 plans, or supporting career planning, we’re here to create solutions that solve everyday problems in our districts. 

Our Values

Our name reflects both who we are and what we believe in: we are for schools. And we live that commitment through four core values:

• Impact with Purpose: We prioritize meaningful outcomes over flashy features.
• Empower Users: We make tools that are easy to learn, easy to teach, and easy to use.
• Engage with Agility: We listen, adapt, and evolve alongside our school partners.
• Listen with Empathy: We start with understanding, because our work begins where yours does.

Over the past 20+ years, we’ve grown alongside the districts we serve. Our team includes former educators, tech experts, customer support professionals, and creative problem-solvers who care deeply about making school systems better.

We believe that good technology should save you time and effort, so you can spend more time focused on your students, your team, and your community. 

Why 4Schools?

We’re not just a technology corporation; we’re part of your school community. 4Schools was built by educators, for educators. For more than 20 years, our team has worked side-by-side with teachers, counselors, administrators, and specialists to design software that meets the everyday needs of actual K-12 environments. 

In a world of corporate education vendors, we’re proud to be different. We listen first, build second, and always keep the wants and needs of our districts as the center of our work.

Built with Educators, for Education

Our products aren’t based on assumptions; they’re based on experience, designed and owned by a nonprofit agency devoted to education and schools. They’re developed and updated with input from real school users at every level, and informed by the diverse experiences and expertise of today’s K-12 educators. And all of our updates are shaped by continuous feedback from existing users and advisory groups. 

We believe the best tools are the ones that solve real problems, and we work directly with the people doing the work to make sure that’s what we deliver. 

A Mission You Can Trust

Our team is passionate about helping school systems work toward and find success. Everything we build is designed to strengthen systems and improve student learning, and our success is truly measured by the value we bring to our district partners. As a nonprofit, we don’t answer to shareholders - we answer to schools, and our mission is rooted in education, not profit. 

4Schools helps you and your team spend more time doing what you do best - helping your students learn. 

We’re 4Schools because we are, and always have been, for schools.
