Connecting institutions with their communities
Our Mission
Our commitment to education fuels our mission at ConnectEd—to empower schools to prepare students for success and positively impact the world.
Strong family engagement leads to higher student achievement, enhanced social-emotional skills, and better overall outcomes.
That’s why we’ve developed cutting-edge software, personalized services, and a vibrant community network—to revolutionize how schools connect with their communities.
Founded on experience
Bear Wade, our CEO, founded ConnectEd in 2024 after two decades of running a marketing firm and witnessing the outdated and inefficient communication solutions used by educational institutions.
As a parent of two active middle schoolers, Bear experienced firsthand the overwhelming flood of emails from teachers, counselors, after-school activities, principals, PTO, meal plans, and superintendents. This inspired him to create ConnectEd, aiming to provide better solutions for educational institutions using his proven framework and a talented team.
Driven by a vision to enhance school communities through exceptional customer service and innovative technology, ConnectEd now offers a comprehensive suite of software and services. These tools empower schools to effectively manage their websites, marketing, communications, and enrollment processes.
Our people are dedicated to helping you, your staff, students and parents.
Education pulses with the vitality of youth and the promise of a brighter future. This same energy drives our team, infusing every aspect of our lives and our business.
We cherish the genuine connections we build, not only with our colleagues but also with the dedicated professionals at the schools we serve. We’re committed to supporting their mission, constantly seeking innovative ways to help them maximize limited resources and create a significant impact on the communities they nurture.
