About Us
ClassDojo’s vision to give every kid on Earth an education they love
“With ClassDojo, we’re finally able to do the work that inspired us to become teachers in the first place. We have BIG dreams for our students and ourselves. And for the first time, I feel like I’m making them happen.”
ClassDojo's Mission
To bring communities together, and give their kids learning experiences they love.
We think every kid on Earth should get an education they love.
We don’t believe there is some “ideal” education, a one-size-fits-all model that all kids must fit. Instead, we believe every community of teachers, kids and families should be able to get the learning experiences that they want and love. And we believe the way to do that is from the ground up.
This is ClassDojo’s plan: we listen to teachers, kids and families. We help them work together as a community. And we help them bring the world’s best learning experiences into their classrooms and homes.

Product overview
Classroom
Classroom is where teachers and students build their classroom culture. They choose skills and values – things like creativity or teamwork – and share feedback on progress with each other. Classroom is the simplest way for teachers and students to build an incredible classroom culture together.
Stories
Stories are instantly updating streams of pictures and videos from the school day. Every class, school, and student has their own Story, all of which are shared home with parents. School Story helps school leaders to share with all families connected to their school, Class Story helps teachers to share with all families connected to their class, and Student Stories helps students to create their own story: a timeline – or portfolio – of what they've learned.
Beyond School
ClassDojo Beyond School is an amazing way for families to bring the best of ClassDojo home. Families can subscribe to get access to feedback points at home, a fun avatar customizer, and character-building activities to help kids develop skills like perseverance and mindfulness. It’s completely optional, and currently being rolled out to ClassDojo families!
Messages
Messages allow teachers, parents, and school leaders to instantly message each other, without needing to share phone numbers or contact details. Messages can be translated into 35 different languages, and "Quiet Hours" lets teachers set away times so parents know when they are not available.
Original Content: Big Ideas
ClassDojo Big Ideas gives teachers and parents simple ways to access original content that helps students learn about important concepts and social-emotional skills.
