Q Platform for Education / AI for Schools K–12

AI for Schools K–12

AI assistants for teachers, students and staff designed specifically for primary and secondary education.

How many AI tools are being used across your school today?

Teachers, staff and students often use a mix of external AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude or school specific tools such as Toddle. Each person uses each tool differently, with their own prompts, sources and behaviours. The result is inconsistent answers, privacy exposure risk, rising per seat licence costs and AI that doesn’t understand your curriculum, policies or systems.

A whole school AI platform for teaching, learning and operations

Q Platform helps schools (Kindergarten to Year 12) deploy AI safely across classrooms, curriculum teams, wellbeing, learning support, administration and school operations. Each agent is grounded in your approved curriculum, policies, scope and sequence documents, school procedures and institutional knowledge, ensuring responses are accurate, consistent and aligned with your educational standards. Q Platform delivers governed AI support while keeping all data within your controlled Microsoft Azure environment.

A governed, school controlled alternative to external AI tools

Many teachers use external AI tools like Toddle for planning and curriculum support. Q Platform provides a similar intuitive experience, but deployed entirely inside your school’s Microsoft Azure environment, with full control over content, governance, safety settings and data protection.

AI for schools that doesn’t feel like an AI tool

Teachers and school staff don’t need to build prompt libraries, upload curriculum documents or explain school specific rules to their AI tool. Q Platform agents already understand your curriculum frameworks, year level expectations, learning outcomes, assessment standards, reporting formats, wellbeing guidelines and school approved structures. Staff simply ask for what they need, whether it’s a lesson plan, a differentiated activity, a rubric, a report comment, a policy explanation or a student support response. The agent produces it accurately, consistently and in your school’s preferred style every time.

AI that surfaces only your approved school content

Q Platform retrieves information only from the sources your school approves including curriculum documents, scope and sequence plans, unit plans, lesson materials, policies, wellbeing guidelines, reporting frameworks, intranet libraries and operational procedures. Q Platform can also connect to commonly used K–12 systems such as Compass, Sentral, SEQTA, Schoolbox, Canvas, Moodle and other LMS/SIS platforms your school relies on. This ensures answers are accurate, consistent and aligned with your teaching, learning, wellbeing and compliance requirements.

AI guardrails, safety and data protection for primary and secondary schools

Q Platform runs entirely within your Microsoft Azure environment, keeping all data, prompts and grounding sources under your school’s controls, permissions and governance policies. Every agent operates under strict policy enforcement, safety settings and model controls. Schools decide which LLMs are approved, what content each agent can access and how they behave. With full auditing of every prompt, response and grounding source, schools gain traceability, compliance assurance and confidence that AI use remains safe, age appropriate and aligned with education sector governance frameworks.
