ClassDojo's goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love.

We started by building a powerful network for communication. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-12 teachers, children, and families globally. Teachers use it to share what’s happening throughout the day through photos, videos, and messages that make parents feel like they’re there. It’s actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching over 45 million children in 180 countries, with a team of just around 200 people [1]. We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world, far beyond those a standard school can provide.

We hire for talent density. Our team comprises the most talented, entrepreneurial, and innovative teammates from around the world, with experience in education and large scale consumer internet companies, including Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Stripe, Uber, Y Combinator, and more. We’re building a company where the most talented people want to work. We believe you’ll do the best work of your life here—and you’ll pioneer the future of education, too.

About ClassDojo & Dojo Islands

Monsterverse is our virtual world for kids. Dojo Islands is where they build, play, and connect with classmates and friends.
The limit on growth has flipped. Revenue isn't it anymore; the size of the Islands user base is. 10M+ kids receive class points each week, and most have never installed the app.

What you’ll do:

We're hiring a product leader for the Monsterverse to own kid growth — growing kid users of Dojo Islands. This means running the product team that owns top-of-funnel growth for Dojo Islands and driving the cross-company roadmap to grow Monthly Active Kids (our core company metric is Monthly Active Connected Families, where families are Parents and/or Kids). You'll work closely with our co-founders, leaders, and cross-functional teams to invent and test long-term ideas, at both a strategic and tactical level.

The kid growth funnel end-to-end: awareness, install, activation, and early retention for Dojo Islands
The cross-company roadmap for Monthly Active Kids, coordinating across the flagship app, school network, and Islands
A small, high-leverage product team — setting direction, shipping fast, and learning faster
A direct working relationship with co-founders on long-term growth strategy

You will be a match if:

You've owned a top-line growth metric end-to-end. You've led initiatives that measurably moved DAU/WAU, install conversion, or retention on a consumer product. You can clearly articulate before → after.
You have gaming and/or kid-product experience — or a close equivalent. You've shipped at scale in games, social, or gamified products. You've lived in the activation and retention trenches and know how to find the fun.
You operate at both the strategic and the detail level. You drive a cross-org roadmap and write your own SQL. You set direction, then go get into the details.
You're self-sufficient with data. You can write queries, build dashboards, and analyze funnels without dedicated support.
You're a structured problem-solver in ambiguity. You break complex problems down, synthesize quant and qual, and produce simple, actionable plans.
AI is core to how you work, not a side tool. You've built it into your product process and your own workflow. We'll probe on this — it's important to us.

You might be a good fit if:

Founder or early-stage startup experience (pre-Series B). Operating in the $1M–$10M revenue phase builds the right reflexes.
Experience with kids' products, consumer social, or platforms with T&S / trust and safety considerations.
Experience with cross-functional growth loops — viral mechanics, referral systems, or in-product distribution.

The Lesson Space

Sep 9th, 2026

Inside ClassDojo's seamless switch from Zoom to Lessonspace.

Inside ClassDojo's seamless switch from Zoom to Lessonspace. As Dojo Tutor continued to grow, ClassDojo needed to move from Zoom to a purpose-built online classroom without disrupting lessons. Lessonspace partnered closely with ClassDojo to support the transition through phased onboarding, tutor education, technical implementation, and dedicated enterprise support. With the mission to give every child an education they love, ClassDojo is one of the world's leading EdTech platforms, connecting over 50 million students, teachers, and parents across 180 countries. ClassDojo expanded its impact through Dojo Tutor, an online tutoring service designed to deliver personalized, high-quality instruction directly to young learners, operating with thousands of active tutors. This expansion of Dojo Tutor meant ClassDojo needed a platform that was intentionally built with children's learning in mind. When using Zoom as a teaching space, tutors had to juggle separate external whiteboards, documents, and resources. Overall, there was an opportunity to improve the user experience and cater specifically to online teaching rather than a corporate meeting experience. With a built-in interactive whiteboard and a hands-on, enterprise-level support team, Lessonspace was the obvious choice to improve the learning experience on Dojo Tutor. Zoom is an excellent meeting tool, but it wasn't designed with children's learning in mind. When used for tutoring, it often creates passive learning experiences that don't align with what educational research tells Lessonspace, Inc. about how kids learn best. - Tegan Bombard, Strategy & Operations, ClassDojo The challenge: A seamless move. With thousands of tutors already actively using Dojo Tutor, a smooth transition from Zoom was a key priority for the Tutor Operations Team at ClassDojo. The focus needed to be on the tutor experience and building their confidence in the platform while minimizing disruption. Lessonspace needed to remain reliable while it was quickly rolled out to the existing tutors. Structured change management was critical, along with ongoing technical support for the Management Team and tutor education. Enterprise-grade security and compliance were non-negotiable. The solution: an all-in-one classroom with dedicated support. ClassDojo and Lessonspace worked together on a structured migration designed to make the transition as smooth as possible for thousands of tutors. The approach combined phased onboarding, tutor education, technical implementation support, a purpose-built classroom, and dedicated enterprise support. Intentional onboarding and change management. ClassDojo ensured tutors were comfortable with the change through a structured, high-touch onboarding process supported by the Lessonspace team. The migration followed a carefully planned, phased launch approach focused on understanding ClassDojo's needs. Lessonspace provided guidance and suggested best practices for onboarding, with regular meetings and check-ins supporting ClassDojo from both technical and operational perspectives. Rather than moving all tutors at once, the teams first soft-launched the platform to a select group of experienced tutors. This allowed ClassDojo to gather early feedback, identify any issues, and refine the setup before rolling Lessonspace out more widely. Tutor education was another important part of the rollout. The comprehensive tutor knowledge base provided help guides, training materials, and demo spaces to support tutors as they moved to the new classroom. Thousands of tutors also enrolled in the free Online Teaching Course to learn platform navigation, interactive teaching strategies, and online classroom management. Purpose-built classroom and enterprise tools. Once tutors were onboarded, the Lessonspace classroom gave them the teaching tools they previously had to manage across separate platforms, while also giving ClassDojo the control and support needed to operate at scale. * A white-labelled classroom space for ClassDojo: The Dojo Tutor branding, virtual backgrounds, and pre-loaded lesson content helped make the transition feel like part of the existing Dojo Tutor experience rather than a move to a separate third-party platform. * The interactive whiteboard: Tutors could teach using interactive tools directly within the classroom, reducing the need to switch between external whiteboards, documents, and other resources. STEM editors, document uploading, and educational resources are embedded directly into the space. * Session recordings and transcription: Provided ClassDojo with greater visibility into lessons and supported internal quality assurance. * Management oversight: Gave ClassDojo control over tutor activities, session lengths, and permissions, which was important when managing a large tutor network. * Dedicated support for the ClassDojo team: A direct Slack channel and regular strategic check-ins gave the team a clear route to technical support throughout the rollout and beyond. * SOC 2 Security Compliance: Helped meet ClassDojo's enterprise security and compliance requirements. Book an Enterprise Demo The results: A transformed tutor experience with no downtime. Built by educators specifically for online learning, Lessonspace brings native tools that foster interactive, hands-on engagement. Lessonspace, Inc. is already seeing the impact: improved student engagement, better retention, and learning experiences that truly resonate. - Tegan Bombard, Strategy & Operations, ClassDojo By combining structured change management, tutor education, and dedicated technical support, ClassDojo successfully moved thousands of tutors from Zoom to Lessonspace in just one month, without teaching downtime. The success of the migration came from: * Strong technical implementation support from the Lessonspace team * A structured, phased onboarding process that allowed ClassDojo to test, gather feedback, and refine the experience before scaling * Tutor education and resources that helped thousands of tutors become comfortable with the new platform * A purpose-built online classroom designed specifically for interactive online teaching * Enterprise-grade support, security, and control needed to operate at scale For ClassDojo, the project showed that large-scale platform migration could be carried out quickly, without disrupting teaching, while still giving tutors a purpose-built classroom. The partnership between ClassDojo and Lessonspace shows what's possible when the technology, implementation support, and change management needed for an enterprise education rollout are considered together.

ClassDojo launches K-12 website platform that auto-updates from classroom posts

ClassDojo has launched ClassDojo Websites, a website platform for K-12 schools and districts that automatically updates by connecting to its existing communications platform. The platform eliminates manual double-posting by publishing stories, events and announcements across school websites automatically. Built on CatapultCMS infrastructure and powered by Automattic's WP Cloud, the platform addresses challenges facing districts competing for students amid declining enrolment. US public schools have lost approximately 1.8 million students since 2019, making consistent, current online presence increasingly important. The platform includes built-in accessibility monitoring for ADA and WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, reduces vendor relationships, and integrates with existing district systems. ClassDojo is used in 90% of US schools. The platform will roll out to pilot districts this summer, with broader availability planned for the 2026-27 school year.

ClassDojo expands tutoring program as US students lag behind pre-pandemic learning levels

ClassDojo launches parent-student messaging for phone-free schools in 2026

ClassDojo is launching parent-student messaging for back-to-school 2026, allowing families to communicate with children in phone-free schools without requiring student devices. The feature enables parents to message their child on school-issued devices like Chromebooks, with teachers included in every conversation. The move addresses an unintended consequence of phone bans: increased pressure on school offices managing family communication. As over 30 US states have moved to restrict student phones, districts have struggled to maintain family connections whilst protecting instructional time. ClassDojo, already used in over 90% of US schools, will deliver the feature through its existing platform, requiring no new app downloads. All messages will be logged and auditable within district environments, with no peer-to-peer chat functionality to avoid classroom distractions.
