The world is changing quickly, whether it’s disruption from AI or other rapidly growing technologies, preparing students to thrive in an unknown future is a complex challenge. Meeting the needs of all of today's diverse learners and helping them build life skills has never been more important. How can we best prepare students with the social-emotional and future-ready skills they need to thrive in an ever-changing world?

Addressing that question is core to our mission, to empower every student on the planet to achieve more.

Student success is at the core of everything you do in education. Technology alone will not lead to better learning outcomes, but how teachers and students choose to use technology can have significant impact.

We’re ready to partner with you to ensure your schools stay leading-edge, and educators are supported to empower your students with the life-ready skills to lead successful lives.

We know that tight budgets can sometimes force schools to choose devices with a stripped-down experience and a limited lifespan. Over time, these devices cost schools more and do less to prepare students for the future.

With a broad collection of affordable and future-proof devices and solutions designed for education, we are giving schools industry-leading security, management and creativity tools.

This combination of affordability and functionality - on a platform students will never outgrow –  is how it’s possible to unlock limitless learning with Microsoft Education.


Take a look at how one of very own OurKids member schools, Aurora Montessori School, that provides highly engaging education to students from 18 months to 14 years old, leveraged Microsoft technology for greater impact. By adopting Surface devices and Microsoft 365, the school was able to bring positive, long-lasting change to its hands-on educational model, even as COVID-19 necessitated periods of remote education. Watch their story below, or read more about it in English or French:
