ClassDojo's goal is to accelerate humanity’s progress by providing every child on Earth with education they love. We began by creating a network that connects teachers, children, and families. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the top communication app connecting K-8 teachers, children, and families around the world. It's used to share daily activities through photos, videos, messages, and assignments. The app is widely used in over 95% of US schools, reaching approximately 51 million children in about 180 countries with a team of just around 200 people. We are now using this network to provide children with the top learning experiences worldwide, surpassing those a standard school can offer.
Our team consists of the most talented, entrepreneurial, and innovative teammates worldwide, with experience in education and large consumer internet companies, including Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Stripe, Uber, Y Combinator, and more. We are creating a company where the most talented people want to work. We believe you'll do your best work here and contribute to shaping the future of education.
