University guidance software built for the IB

Pricing Guide No. students: < 50 From $1,100 >100 From $2,900 >250 From $4,500

By 2025, there will be 100 million more students enrolled in higher education, 8 million of which will attend university in a foreign country. By 2020, there will be a shortage of 40 million employees with the right qualification to meet the demands of labor markets. Schools, entrusted with the critical duty of guiding students to the right post-secondary destinations, are too frequently hampered by the need to navigate multiple systems, track a broad range of student needs, and manage the administration and paperwork that universities in different countries require. This presents an enormous challenge for college and career advisors . We believe that enabling schools to provide smart, modern university and careers guidance is a matter of huge importance. Partnered with schools in over 60 countries and designed specifically with IB World Schools in mind , BridgeU empowers schools to prepare the students of today for the world of tomorrow.

From Point Solution to Learning Platform What differentiates a learning platform? •

•

•

•

•

Serving multiple Stakeholders within the school (Teachers, Students, Administrators, Parents) High frequency of usage: daily or weekly usage by Stakeholders Central hub: to support teaching & learning, communications, and school operations (attendance, reporting, etc.) Structured Repository: stores visible curriculum, assessments, resources & coursework with curriculum meta-data. Mission-critical: inability to access causes significant disruption

Atlas Curriculum Management •

•

•

The ‘written curriculum’ is the root of teaching & learning within the school; however, it is hidden from view – use-case is one of infrequent usage. External motivation for adoption may be upcoming accreditation visit, leadership initiative, professional development, etc. Curriculum is unique to each school and anchors critical organizational decisions.
