The school challenge
Extend digital wellbeing beyond the school day
For schools, Qustodio can provide a practical bridge between school-managed technology and the home. Its School Connect features can allow invited parents to see activity on school-issued devices and, depending on the school’s setup, apply their own rules outside school hours.

How it works
From the school’s problem to a workable process.
A good technology solution is not only about features. It is about how those features fit into school routines, policies and people.
02
Parents set family rules
Depending on the school’s configuration, parents can set web filters, time limits, app restrictions and routines for out-of-school use.
03
Families can extend protection
Parents can also protect personal family devices through the Qustodio Parents App.
04
Review activity and wellbeing
Parents can review dashboards, timelines and reports to understand digital habits and have more informed conversations.
Key capabilities
More than a single feature.
These are the areas we would explore with a school when assessing fit and implementation.

Web filtering
Block inappropriate websites, categories and specific sites, and receive alerts about activity you want to know about.
02
Screen-time controls
Set daily time limits and screen-free periods to support healthier routines.
03
Apps and games
Monitor, block or limit supported apps and games according to family rules and device capabilities.
04
Activity timeline

School-issued devices
For participating schools, School Connect can provide visibility and, depending on configuration, parent rules outside school hours.

Multi-platform family coverage
Qustodio currently supports iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Chromebook and Amazon Fire, subject to feature/platform requirements.
Who benefits
Different people. One school outcome.

A way to involve parents in digital wellbeing without asking the school to manage every aspect of home technology use.

Practical controls and visibility that can continue beyond school hours.
Learners
Clearer expectations around screen time, websites, apps and digital balance.
Before you decide
Questions worth asking.
These are the questions that help WE-ESS understand whether the solution fits your school, rather than simply adding another product to your technology stack.
- Does the school want parents involved in managing school-issued devices?
- Which devices are school-issued and which are personal?
- What should school rules control, and what should parents control?
- Does the school need visibility into activity outside school hours?
- What digital-wellbeing message is the school trying to reinforce with families?
