Clever is a K-12 EdTech identity platform that provides a unified single sign-on portal and roster synchronization service used by over 111,000 US schools, including 95 of the largest 100 districts. The Clever REST API enables application partners to securely access real-time student roster data, school and district information, class and section data, and user identity records through a single integration. Clever Complete offers Secure Sync for district-managed rostering, LMS Connect for gradebook syncing, and Single Sign-On via OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SAML, eliminating the need for per-SIS integrations. Approximately 60 percent of US students log in monthly through Clever, making it the de facto identity layer for K-12 EdTech applications across the United States.
