About Celerity

Modern education data infrastructure. Built by people who understand the mission.

Our Mission

Every school deserves modern data infrastructure—regardless of size, budget, or technical resources. We're here to make that happen.

The Problem

K-12 education is drowning in data systems that don't talk to each other. Ed-Fi was created to solve this—a national data standard that enables interoperability across the entire education ecosystem.

But Ed-Fi implementations have traditionally been expensive ($50K-$150K), slow (6-12 months), and complex (requiring specialized staff or consultants). The schools that need it most—small districts, rural ESCs, under-resourced networks—are exactly the ones who can't afford it.

Meanwhile, cybersecurity threats are rising, compliance requirements are increasing, and IT departments are stretched thin just keeping the lights on.

Our Solution

Celerity delivers enterprise-grade infrastructure that deploys in hours, not months—at 50-80% less than traditional implementations.

Data Infrastructure

Ed-Fi ODS/API hosting, data warehousing, and interoperability solutions. Connect your SIS, LMS, assessment systems, and more with standardized data pipelines.

Open-Source LMS & LLM Hosting

Deploy Canvas, Moodle, or other open-source learning platforms. Host private AI/LLM instances for secure, FERPA-compliant educational AI applications.

Cybersecurity Monitoring

24/7 infrastructure monitoring, threat detection, and incident response. Protect student data with enterprise-grade security tools sized for education budgets.

Compliance Reporting

Automated compliance dashboards for FERPA, state reporting, and audit readiness. Reduce reporting burden while maintaining full accountability.

We handle the infrastructure: deployment, updates, backups, security, monitoring. You focus on what matters: serving students and educators.

Built on 100% open-source technology with full data portability. No vendor lock-in. No hidden fees. Just modern infrastructure that works.

What We Believe

Speed Matters

Education doesn't wait. Technology shouldn't either. We deploy in hours because schools need solutions today, not next semester.

Open Is Better

100% open-source. Full data portability. Your data stays yours. We earn your business by delivering value, not by locking you in.

Equity First

Every school deserves modern infrastructure. Our equity pricing ensures high-need schools get access regardless of budget constraints.
