Who we are

About EduPace

EduPace was born out of a passion for giving educators the tools they need to nurture the next generation of learners. Our team comprises experienced educators who understand the unique challenges faced by special schools implementing the DCAPS curriculum.

With a commitment to innovation and a deep understanding of educational needs, we've crafted EduPace to be a user-friendly, efficient and powerful solution tailored to the specific requirements of DCAPS-based education — so your staff spend less time on admin and more time with learners.

Designed in the classroom

Every workflow mirrors how special needs schools actually run a term — no generic school software compromises.

DCAPS & DBE aligned

Assessment criteria, subject weighting and schedules that stay aligned to DCAPS requirements out of the box.

Support that sticks around

Onboarding and ongoing support are part of every plan — we succeed when your school does.
