Caleb Hicks

Caleb founded SchoolAI because he lived the impossible math of teaching. As a middle school teacher with 300 students, he could truly know about 20% of them well. The rest? Their questions, struggles, and breakthroughs often went unnoticed. Not because he didn't care, but because knowing every student deeply at that scale is humanly impossible. Before SchoolAI, Caleb spent his career searching for ways to make learning more personal and connected. He transformed keyboarding classes into entrepreneurship programs where students started real businesses. He developed iOS curriculum at Apple. He co-founded Lambda School, where students only paid if they secured jobs making over $50,000. But the same challenge kept surfacing: how do you give every student what they need without teachers burning out? That question became SchoolAI. The platform gives educators something they've never had before: a way to see how every student approaches learning and personalize instruction that actually fits. Students work in Spaces, AI-powered learning workspaces where they create and explore with an AI sidekick. Teachers get real-time insights into who's struggling, who's thriving, and who needs their attention right now. Today, SchoolAI serves over 1 million classrooms across 80+ countries. The mission is simple: every student gets what they need to thrive, and every educator gets the clarity to make the impact they've always known is possible.
