A comprehensive system for students, parents, faculty and staff
Veracross originated in the summer of 2002 when friends of founder Elliott Breuer started a K-8 independent school outside of Boston. Breuer began to build a comprehensive system to manage the needs of students, parents, faculty, and staff. He called the fledgling SIS “SIMS” (School Information Management System).
Powerful communication tools and a single database
The fully web-based system initially launched with Faculty, Parent, and Student portals. Unique to Breuer’s system were powerful communication tools as well as a single database that was utilized by the entire school. A year later, Breuer found himself in the boardroom of an independent K-12 school with 800+ students demonstrating SIMS to the head of school and leadership team. This meeting and the school’s desire to consolidate their myriad of disconnected systems led to the first paying Veracross customer. Veracross rapidly added more customers to its roster and continued to innovate the platform based on the input of these first schools.
