Hosting · Dedicated
We run it — isolated for you alone.
A managed, single-tenant instance operated for your school by us, in a data region you choose. The isolation of a private deployment — optionally on a Canadian, non-US host — without the burden of running the infrastructure.
Architecture
Your own instance, managed by us.
We provision a dedicated application and database for your school — not shared with any other tenant — in the region you select. We handle TLS, updates, monitoring, and backups; you handle teaching.
Why dedicated
Isolation and choice of region, operated for you.
True single-tenancy
Your own application and database, not shared with any other organisation. Stronger isolation than logical multi-tenancy.
Choose your region
Host the instance where your policy requires — including a Canadian, non-US provider for the strongest hosted sovereignty.
Fully managed
Provisioning, updates, monitoring, and backups are ours. You get a private deployment without running servers.
Quick to stand up
Days, not weeks. We provision and hand you a ready instance with your subdomain and staff accounts configured.
Coordinated maintenance
Updates and maintenance windows are scheduled with you, so changes never land in the middle of a lesson.
A clear exit path
Same application as self-hosted, so you can migrate onto your own infrastructure later if your needs change.

The operational details.
| Tenancy | Single-tenant: a dedicated application and database for your school, isolated from all others. |
| Data region | Your choice, including a Canadian non-US host for jurisdictions that must avoid US legal reach. |
| Operated by | Us — provisioning, TLS, updates, monitoring, and backups, with maintenance coordinated with you. |
| Access | Your own subdomain. Students join by code and display name; staff sign-in configured to your needs. |
| Paperwork | Signable DPA with AB-1584 / SOPIPA clause set and a Canadian addendum; BC privacy-impact fact sheet. |
| Migration | Exportable to a self-hosted deployment on your infrastructure if requirements change. |
Data & compliance
Hosted, but still minimised.
- Single-tenant isolation — your data shares no instance with anyone
- Region of your choice, including non-US hosting
- Student join needs only a code and display name — no email
- Retention limits and deletion-on-request built into the schema
- No telemetry by default; no profiling, ads, or model training on student work
- We operate backups and recovery to an agreed plan
Sovereignty without the ops
For schools that cannot self-host but still need data out of US jurisdiction, a dedicated instance on a Canadian provider is the pragmatic middle path.
Built to clear the privacy bar
Data minimisation is the default, not an add-on — the same stance described on the main privacy section, applied to a deployment that is yours alone.

FAQ
Questions about dedicated.
How is "dedicated" different from "cloud"?
A dedicated deployment is a single-tenant instance that runs for your school alone — its own application and its own database, not shared with any other organisation. Cloud is a shared multi-tenant service with logical per-tenant isolation. Dedicated trades a little setup time for stronger isolation and a data region of your choosing.
Where does the data live?
In a region you choose. For schools that need to avoid US jurisdiction, we can host the instance on a Canadian, non-US provider — the strongest hosted answer to sovereignty short of self-hosting.
Do we have to run or maintain anything?
No. We operate the instance: provisioning, updates, monitoring, and backups are ours, coordinated with you for maintenance windows. You get the isolation of a private deployment without running infrastructure.
Can we migrate to self-hosted later?
Yes. Because it is the same application, a dedicated instance can be exported and re-deployed on your own infrastructure if your requirements change. Your classes and patches move with you.
