SchoolConnect Canada
Social media built for school.
The only platform where Canadian students can chat, share, and collaborate — in a verified, ad-free, government-aligned environment. Everything Instagram and TikTok offer. Nothing they get wrong.
Built in Canada. Data in Canada. Run by a non-profit. Designed for every student from Grade 1 to Grade 12, across every province and territory.
Seeking school board partners for a six-month pilot in British Columbia.
Canadian students have nowhere safe to go online.
The platforms they use were not built for them, are not governed by Canadian law, and are not accountable to Canadian families or schools.
Algorithm designed to maximize watch time, not learning. Data flows to servers outside Canada with no federal oversight.
Ad-targeting profiles built on minors. No identity verification. Open to anyone — teachers, strangers, and students in the same feed.
Unmoderated group chats. Zero school integration. No parent visibility. Used for cyberbullying with near-zero accountability.
Canada's Bill C-63 (Online Harms Act) is already moving to restrict these platforms for minors.
SchoolConnect is not a reaction to that legislation. It is the Canadian alternative that should have existed already.
One platform. Every feature. Built for school.
SchoolConnect combines what students actually use — chat, stories, short video, a social feed — with what schools actually need: class tools, parent visibility, assignment tracking, and verified identity.
No algorithm designed to maximize screen time. No ads targeting teenagers. No anonymous accounts. No data sent outside Canada.
Every account is tied to a verified school email. Every post stays within the school network. Every message is protected under Canadian law.

Verified identity, always
Every account is tied to a school-issued email address. No anonymous accounts. Students, teachers, and parents each have distinct roles and access levels.
School-only network
Content stays within school boundaries. Class chats are visible only to enrolled students and their teacher. School-wide posts stay inside the school. Nothing leaks outward.
AI moderation — not human surveillance
Claude AI monitors for harmful content, cyberbullying, and distress signals — and flags to counsellors when intervention is needed. No manual reading of private messages by staff.
Parents informed, not spying
Parents see assignments, deadlines, school announcements, and teacher messages. They do not see private student conversations. Trust is built in from the start.

Everything students need. Nothing they don't.
SchoolConnect is the only platform that combines social features with school tools — and keeps data in Canada.
Designed to pass procurement and policy review.
SchoolConnect was designed from the start to meet the requirements that make school boards and ministries say yes: Canadian data, verified identity, parent controls, PIPEDA compliance, and a non-profit mission.
We are not asking for a contract. We are asking for a letter of support and a six-month pilot in one school. The data we generate together will make the case for province-wide adoption.
Aligned with Bill C-63
Canada's Online Harms Act creates a regulatory vacuum for minors. SchoolConnect fills it with a Canadian-built, government-aligned platform.
PIPEDA compliant by design
No foreign data transfers. Canadian cloud infrastructure (AWS ca-central-1). Privacy impact assessments available for school boards.
Non-profit mission
Nation Code Canada is a registered non-profit. No shareholder pressure. No ad revenue incentives. The mission is students, not growth metrics.
District partnership model
We seek school board letters of support, not procurement contracts. A six-month pilot in one school generates the data needed to scale province-wide.
Newcomer inclusion
Real-time translation, settlement service integration, and multilingual support built in from Phase 3. SchoolConnect serves every Canadian student, including new arrivals.
Funding pathway
NRC IRAP grant-eligible. BC Digital Government partnership potential. District licensing fees after pilot validation for long-term sustainability.
Built for every Canadian student.
SchoolConnect is for every student in Canada — from newcomers navigating a new system to Grade 12 students preparing for university.
Students
A social platform that actually knows their school, their class, their clubs, and their deadlines. Built around their real life, not a global feed.
Teachers
Class chats, announcement tools, assignment management, and a direct line to every parent — in the same app students already use every day.
Parents
Visibility into assignments, school news, and teacher messages — without reading private conversations or turning the school into a surveillance environment.
Newcomer families
Real-time translation, settlement service connections, and multilingual support built in. SchoolConnect meets newcomer students where they are.
Privacy and data sovereignty
Every byte of data stays in Canada. No advertising profiles. No cross-border transfers. PIPEDA compliant. Built by a non-profit with no commercial incentives.
