About
Securly is a comprehensive K-12 edtech safety and wellness operating system designed to keep students safe online, focused in the classroom, and secure on campus.

Securly's AI Alert Integration monitors student activity across billions of data points to proactively identify at-risk students and trigger timely interventions. The On-Call service layers Securly-managed human analysts on top of AI alerts for additional oversight.

The Home app extends safety and engagement to families, bridging the gap between school filtering policies and home internet use. Securly is designed for districts of all sizes, with tailored implementation support, enterprise-grade data privacy, and flexible configurations to match each school's goals and budgets. It is ranked among the most widely used edtech tools in the United States according to LearnPlatform's EdTech Top 40.
