🧑‍🏫 About Forward Edge

Forward Edge empowers schools to reach tomorrow’s learners. As a company focused 100% on Education, we provide technology solutions and services that remove barriers to learning. We understand that learning time is sacred, and we take a holistic approach to designing and implementing technologies for students, teachers, and staff.

Our Professional Learning Services (PLS) department is made up of former classroom teachers who are enthusiastic about supporting educators in leveraging technology to enhance teaching and learning. We foster a collaborative and inclusive company culture, driven by highly motivated individuals passionate about making a difference.

🌟 Core Values at Forward Edge

These core values aren’t just words on a page; we eat, breathe, and live them every day. They serve as the guidepost for our decisions and actions.

  • We Expect Excellence : We are confident in our abilities while remaining humble and open to feedback. We go the extra mile to deliver exceptional results, or as we say, "you’re not done until you’re done, done."
  • We Are Problem Solvers : We embrace all challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, finding solutions for our customers and our internal team.
  • Relationships Matter to Us : We live by the Maya Angelou quote : “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
  • We Are Team Players : We are a supportive, inclusive team where no one is too good to "take out the trash." We roll up our sleeves and help each other whenever needed.
  • We Believe You Either Grow or Die : We embrace change, constantly improve, and are never satisfied with the status quo.
