What is Clever?

Use this page to understand Clever’s integration options and choose the right starting point for your app.

What Clever provides

Clever helps you integrate your app with school and district systems through rostering and single sign-on.

For developers, Clever supports these common integration paths:

Clever Secure Sync for district-managed rostering data
Clever Single Sign-On for district-managed login
Clever LMS Connect for LMS workflows such as grade passback and LTI 1.3 SSO
AnySchool Rostering for supporting schools that are not on Clever
Clever Library for teacher-managed sign-up and classroom rostering

Clever integrates with student information systems (SISs) through direct integrations and SFTP automations. Depending on the integration type you choose, your app can receive identity data, roster data, or LMS-related data.
