What questions are schools asking about LanSchool?

What is LanSchool?

LanSchool is classroom management software from Lenovo. It helps teachers monitor student screens, limit distractions, share screens and communicate with students on Windows and Mac, and on Chromebooks with LanSchool Air, in the classroom or remotely.

What is the difference between LanSchool Air and LanSchool Classic?

LanSchool Air is cloud-hosted, with a browser-based console, automatic updates and newer features like AI On-Task Monitoring. LanSchool Classic is installed on your own network and includes testing, voting, app and print limiting and a central Report Server. Air supports Chromebooks, Windows and Mac students, while Classic supports Windows and Mac. Both are covered by the same license.

How much does LanSchool cost?

LanSchool is priced per student device, with one price covering both Air and Classic. Pricing depends on volume. Codework can provide a quote for single schools or whole districts.

Does LanSchool work with Chromebooks?

Yes, with LanSchool Air, which supports Chromebooks alongside Windows and Mac students so you can manage mixed-device classrooms from one browser console. LanSchool Classic supports Windows and Mac, not Chromebooks.

Is LanSchool free with Lenovo devices?

Eligible Lenovo education devices include one year of LanSchool at no cost. After that, licenses renew at standard pricing, and Codework can handle the renewal.

Does LanSchool integrate with Google Classroom, ClassLink and Clever?

Yes. LanSchool Air syncs rosters from Google Classroom, ClassLink and Clever, and Classic supports Google Classroom and Clever, so class lists stay up to date automatically.

How does LanSchool compare to GoGuardian or NetSupport School?

LanSchool is distinctive for offering cloud and on-premise hosting under one license, plus Lenovo backing. GoGuardian is Chromebook and cloud-first, and NetSupport School is a feature-rich on-premise suite. Codework resells several classroom management tools and can help you compare.

Can we try LanSchool before buying?

Yes. Request a free trial on this page to test LanSchool Air or Classic on your own devices.
