Learning platform for schools

Guidance that builds understanding.

Onyx is a complete school platform — courses, live lessons, attendance, safeguarding and parent access — built around a tutor that coaches instead of answering, a review schedule the server enforces, and a mastery estimate you can explain to a parent.

Pupil

Can you just show me the answer?

Onyx

No. Start here instead: you multiplied both sides by −3. What happens to the inequality sign when you multiply by a negative number?

Pupil

It flips?

Onyx

It does. Rewrite line three with the sign flipped and tell me what you get — then we will check it against your original substitution.

A document repository is not a learning platform.

Most school platforms store files and record marks. They cannot tell a teacher which misconception is spreading through a class, they cannot make a pupil revisit a topic on a later day, and they cannot explain why one exercise was shown rather than another. Onyx is built around those three jobs.

Overview

Everything a school runs on, in one place

The everyday workflows, grouped the way a school is actually organised — so nobody needs a second system or a training marathon.

  • Teaching & learning

    Plan lessons, run live sessions and give every pupil a tutor that guides rather than tells.

    • Course delivery
    • Live classrooms
    • AI tutor with guardrails
    • Guided lessons
  • Administration & safeguarding

    Attendance, timetables and safeguarding with role-based access and an audit trail behind every action.

    • Attendance & timetable
    • Safeguarding & wellbeing
  • Families & communication

    One secure channel to parents, linked to the same progress and attendance data the teacher sees.

    • Parent communication

Product

Tools that support better learning

Practical tools for teaching, practice, progress and assessment — built for everyday use in school.

  • Hints without giving away the answer

    The tutor helps pupils think through a problem with guided hints, while keeping the worked answer out of reach.

  • Teachers set the boundaries

    Each teacher chooses how much help the tutor may give, and Onyx keeps that level in place for every pupil.

  • Lessons with a clear path

    Guided lessons introduce new material step by step, with short checks before and after to show what pupils have learned.

  • Practice at the right time

    Spaced review brings material back when a pupil needs it, helping practice become part of a steady learning routine.

  • Progress you can understand

    Teachers and pupils can see which concepts are secure and where more practice may help, based on the work completed.

  • Grades with teacher approval

    Teachers stay in charge of every grade. Changes are recorded, and any AI suggestion must be reviewed before it affects a pupil’s record.

Roles

What each person sees

Access is decided server-side, per role and per school — not hidden in the interface.

  • Teachers

    Plan and deliver, then see what the class actually did with it.

    • Class radar: which items are failing and which concepts are decaying
    • Confirm or reject every AI proposal before it reaches a pupil's record
    • Push a spaced-practice batch to a cohort; override a grade reversibly
  • Pupils

    One timetable, one queue, and a tutor that will not do the work for them.

    • A practice queue that decides what is due today, and why
    • Hints on request, the answer never
    • Their own progress and their own verifiable badges
  • Parents

    Attendance, grades and progress for their own children only.

    • No separate app and no account for the child to share
    • No visibility of any other pupil's data
    • The same figures the teacher sees, not a marketing summary
  • School leadership and Schulträger

    Enrolment, roles, billing, safeguarding routing and the audit trail.

    • Every action attributable to a person, with a record
    • Safeguarding concerns routed automatically to your designated lead, in German and English
    • Export of the school's data, and documents for your procurement office
