In just 18 months since our launch, MagicSchool has seamlessly integrated into educators’ workflows like never before. Today, millions use MagicSchool monthly as a co-pilot for their work and for creating responsible AI experiences for their students. We are now partnered with more than 10,000 schools, with an educator using MagicSchool in nearly every U.S. school district—and in 160 countries around the world.
As a lifelong educator, I have seen firsthand how schools struggle with limited resources. While AI cannot solve every challenge in education, we are committed to building tools that help bridge the gap. MagicSchool’s AI is already addressing significant needs in schools, such as differentiating instruction, supporting language learning, providing adaptive one-on-one tutoring, differentiating instruction, and offering just-in-time support for students.
Yet, we know there is so much more we can do to support educators and students. Schools and districts frequently ask, “Can you build this too?”—and we want to say yes every single time. To meet this growing demand, we recently launched MagicSchool Labs, a dedicated space for developing and testing new AI-driven tools for education. Our first project, a Data Analysis Tool, allows educators to gain insights from school data using natural language processing, driving more informed instruction. This tool will launch in beta, and early feedback has already been overwhelmingly positive.
While the major players in AI focus on broader markets, K-12 education remains our singular priority. Our school partners appreciate our laser focus on their needs, but they have also voiced concerns about the long-term viability of startups in the education space. We understand that stability and solvency are critical for schools, which is why raising this funding was about more than just growth—it was about reinforcing our commitment to being here for the long haul.
This new funding will allow us to expand our product and engineering teams to develop even more AI-driven capabilities, strengthen partnerships, grow our customer experience team, and continue innovating alongside educators. We are also doubling down on our commitment to safety and responsibility—enhancing product testing and expanding our dedicated team to ensure MagicSchool remains the most trusted, secure platform for schools.
A heartfelt thank you to the educators who have been part of this journey. As with all great things in education, none of this would be possible without you. From the very beginning, we have believed: Teachers are Magic, not AI. Our mission remains the same—empowering educators to do their best work for their students.
Thank you to our partners who contributed to this $45 million funding round, led by Valor Equity Partners, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Adobe Ventures, Atreides Management, and Smash Capital.
