The whole academy, on one screen.
For test-prep & tutoring academies
We run your academy on one system.
Shaped around how you already run and kept running by us. Progress, attendance, tests, and parent reports that send themselves. You teach; we handle the system.

The work is real. The system holding it isn't.
Academies do careful, hands-on teaching, then track all of it across a dozen Google Sheets, a roster printout, and someone's memory. The teaching is good. The wiring around it leaks.

How we run it
You don't run it. We do.
Lectern is not a tool we hand you and wish you luck with. We shape it around your academy, stand it up, and keep it running. Here is the whole path, from your spreadsheets to a system that grows with you.
- 1
You show us how you run
A short intake, plus the spreadsheets and roster you already use. You do not clean anything up first. We read how your academy actually works.

We draft it before you pay to build
You see a system shaped to your academy on a private link. Drafting is cheap, so you decide with something real in front of you instead of a sales deck.

We build it, run it, and keep it growing
It goes live and we keep it running. When your academy needs something new, it becomes part of the system instead of another tool to manage.

The whole operation, running itself.
Not a dashboard you have to operate. The system captures the day as it happens and turns it into something parents can actually see.
The report writes and sends itself.
Every parent gets a clear weekly update on a schedule you set. No one stays up writing them.

Daniel: Sofia closed the gap on reading inference. Strong week.
A question bank from your own tests.
Upload a practice test and the system reads it into clean, searchable questions your TAs can pull from. The academic engine runs itself, so your people teach.

Proof
Our first paying academy.
A test-prep academy runs its whole operation on Lectern today: every student profile, every check-in, every weekly parent report. It is where the system gets proven before it reaches the next academy. Here is one SAT cohort over a single term.
