Our approach to K-12 software

Our approach combines cognitive science principles, responsible AI, and education standards compliance into eLearning systems schools can operate and trust over time.

  • Our priority is building systems where students actually learn. We design software around proven learning practices, then use AI to adapt content, monitor progress, and support teachers.

  • Student data protection is not a feature added later. We design systems with FERPA, GDPR, and COPPA-aligned architecture, bias checks, and clear human control over every AI-driven decision.

  • School platforms rarely operate alone. We build systems that work reliably with OneRoster, LTI, QTI, Ed-Fi, SCORM, and xAPI across LMS, SIS, assessment, and content environments.

  • K-12 software is tested during peak moments, not demos. We stay involved during periods like back-to-school to keep platforms stable, accessible, and usable at scale.

Tech standards

Protocols our K-12 software complies with

  • OneRoster

    OneRoster is the industry standard for securely transmitting class rosters and relevant data between a Student Information System (SIS) and any other system, most commonly a content application or Learning Information System (LIS).

  • LTI

    Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is a standard that allows different vendors’ courseware and learning resources to be hosted within a learning platform, typically an LMS.

  • QTI

    Before Grade Pass Back and Deep Linking, QTI was the original protocol standard for creating questions and assessments to be easily imported into various LMSs.

  • Ed-Fi

    The Ed-Fi Data Standard is a set of guidelines for collecting, managing, and organizing educational data that allows different systems to share information seamlessly.

  • xAPI & cmi5

    xAPI (also called Tin Can API) is a specification for tracking learning experience. Cmi5 is an upgrade to xAPI.

  • SCORM

    SCORM is a set of technical specifications for eLearning software. The framework helps programmers to write code that works effectively with other eLearning software.

Learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Neither should your software.

We help schools and edtech companies build secure, user-friendly mobile solutions. Our K-12 mobile app development services put learning, communication, and school workflows right into students’ and teachers’ hands.

Aristek Systems helps develop custom software applications, integrate existing systems, and provide ongoing support to enhance productivity, efficiency, and student outcomes. If our client requires support for K-12 Software, our K-12 school management software development company is always ready to assist.

The timeline for completing a K-12 software development project depends on the complexity and scope of the project. We work closely with our clients to establish realistic timelines and milestones. Factors such as system integration, customization, and testing can influence the overall duration. Please discuss your project requirements with our team to get a better estimate.

The cost of K-12 software development depends heavily on the type of product and its scope. There is no single price because K-12 software can mean very different things: a school management information system, classroom management software development, a custom LMS, a student information system, a parent portal, assessment tools, or AI-powered learning features.

Pricing usually varies based on several factors:

  1. Software type and complexity (for example, a basic classroom tool vs. a full-scale SIS)
  2. Number of user roles (students, teachers, parents, administrators)
  3. Required integrations with existing systems (LMS, SIS, payment tools, state platforms)
  4. Compliance and security requirements (FERPA, GDPR, accessibility standards)
  5. Custom features such as analytics, AI functions, or mobile apps
  6. Ongoing support, updates, and hosting needs

Smaller projects or pilot solutions may take a few months, while large K-12 platforms built for districts or publishers require a longer timeline and a larger budget. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to define goals, user roles, and technical requirements before development starts.

Choosing the right software development partner for K-12 education technology goes beyond technical skills. Schools, districts, and edtech companies should look for teams that understand how learning environments actually work.

When evaluating K-12 app development services, pay attention to the following:

  1. Proven experience with K-12 projects, not just general software development
  2. Knowledge of education standards, data privacy rules, and accessibility requirements
  3. Experience building and integrating LMS, SIS, and classroom tools
  4. Ability to scale solutions for districts, publishers, or growing platforms
  5. Clear communication and a development process that includes educators’ input
  6. Long-term support options after launch

A strong K-12 software partner helps you avoid costly rework, ensures compliance from day one, and builds software that teachers and students actually want to use, not just software that looks good on paper.
