Imagine a classroom where every student has a personal AI learning guide—and every teacher has the time, insights, and support to deliver high-quality instruction. Solara with Class Companion makes it possible.
Every student deserves timely, targeted feedback that motivates them to engage, revise, and grow, but delivering that level of personalized support to every learner is nearly impossible in today’s classrooms.

"We saw a 15–17% increase in our students’ ELA CAASPP scores. Two of our 6th grade teachers and one 5th grade teacher saw score increases equivalent to more than a year’s worth of growth."

Teacher on Special Assignment, Upland Unified School District (CA)

[Class Companion] assists me in figuring out where their growth is as we go through the year. It gives me a summary of each student's growth, and it helps me to do better work with them and to know what I can target. When I got my instructional report at the beginning of this month on how my students did, I was so excited to see, particularly with the writing, that they had improved. They were above global, and in some cases, state (MA).
– Diane Morey Teacher, Danvers High School (MA)
Class Companion has been a game-changer for our 4th and 5th grade students. The instant feedback and personalized guidance have not only improved their writing skills, but also boosted their confidence and enthusiasm for the writing process. We’ve seen students who were once reluctant writers now eagerly collaborating with their parents to refine their work. Class Companion has truly bridged the achievement gap and made writing an engaging, rewarding experience for our younger learners.
– Anthony Bissot, Bell Mountain MS (CA)
Class Companion is one of the most valuable tools that I have used in over 20 years of teaching. Both myself and the students receive great feedback, and I have started to have students use the insights to reflect on their writing skills.

Panorama Solara is designed with security and privacy at its core. Our platform upholds best-in-class privacy and security standards and runs on a secure infrastructure, which means that all data stays within the Panorama ecosystem. No data or PII is ever used to train models. Panorama is verified to comply with SOC 2 Type 2 standards, FERPA, and COPPA, and is 1EdTech certified for data privacy.
In addition, role-based access to Solara ensures that teachers can only view data for their own students, while school and district leaders have broader access for reporting and resource creation. You can learn more about Panorama’s data security and privacy policies here: https://www.panoramaed.com/about/privacy.
Protecting district and student data is a core design principle. Panorama doesn’t use your data to train AI models. All information stays within the secure Panorama ecosystem, ensuring full compliance with SOC 2, FERPA, COPPA, and 1EdTech standards.
Solara is powered by the Claude family of Large Language Models from Anthropic, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) via Amazon’s Bedrock platform. By leveraging AWS’s secure and reliable infrastructure for both Solara’s AI capabilities and Panorama’s data storage, we ensure an integrated solution that maximizes both security and privacy. All data remains within the AWS ecosystem, ensuring consistency in security protocols and minimizing the risk of data exposure. There is no involvement from third-party entities, providing an additional layer of privacy assurance. This careful management ensures that student information remains protected.
In addition, questions and responses processed by Solara are not used to train AI models. We have implemented comprehensive monitoring and logging systems to maintain transparency and fulfill governance and audit needs, ensuring that all operations adhere to stringent privacy standards. These measures collectively ensure that data integrity and trust are prioritized at every stage of Solara’s operation, making it a reliable and secure solution for school districts.
Unlike generic AI tools, Solara with Class Companion is designed specifically for K–12 education. It is secure, built with strict privacy standards, and fully integrated with your district’s SIS. This means the feedback and recommendations it provides are context-aware—grounded in your classrooms, aligned with your standards, and personalized to your students—so educators can trust that the support they receive is accurate, actionable, and built for real impact.
