DreamClass offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for teachers, students, and parents to navigate and use the platform. The intuitive design and clear instructions contribute to a smooth and seamless user experience.DreamClass focuses on personalized learning, allowing me to tailor my lessons and activities to meet the individual needs and learning styles of students. The platform provides...
1. Interactive features: DreamClass includes a range of interactive features such as games, quizzes, polls, and discussions that engage students and make learning more fun. These features promote student participation and help teachers gauge student understanding and progress.2. Collaboration and communication: DreamClass allows teachers, students, and parents to communicate and collaborate easily...
Limited integrations: I have expressed a desire for more integrations with other educational tools and platforms. Seamless integration with existing systems, such as student information systems or learning management systems, is important for data synchronization and a streamlined workflow.

Working with DreamClass has been amazing; their customer service (shout out to Lids!) is better than any other product I've worked with, and it was definitely one of the main reasons we went with DreamClass over other products. Most issues we have come up with have been immediately brainstormed and troubleshooted by the DreamClass support team, and they have made so many custom fixes for us. Everything we have asked for they have worked on and provided. They are constantly updating the platform and adding more features so it gets better and more expansive each day!
We are a small nonprofit afterschool program with about 200 students, some in-person and some online.School periods, courses, and classes are all easy to create, enroll students in, and manage. Attendance is easy for our teachers to complete and on the admin side, it is easy to get reports on daily absences and student attendance summaries.Student profiles allow for UNLIMITED custom fields (other products...
DreamClass launched an Admissions tool this summer. It is helpful to have a form that links directly to class enrollment, but there aren't quite enough form building options for our needs. We are still using Formstack for our main registration form then bulk uploading student data through a CSV file.Similarly, there is a gradebook on DreamClass, but there aren't great ways to upload files, create assignments or quizzes, or collect homework assignments through the platform. We are still using Canvas as our Learning Management System, then uploading the final grades to DreamClass to create transcripts. I would love to see DreamClass make their LMS portion more robust or allow for integration with Canvas.
What a review! Thank you so much for taking the time to give us such a detailed overview of your experience with us! Small non-for-profit organizations are the heart of DreamClass. In 2023 we will invest in making our Assignment & Homework management more robust and offering advanced admission settings. We will make sure to keep you and your team updated.

I am able to keep all student information in one portal, such as lesson plans, quizzes, and invoices.
Would like for the portal to be able to enroll the student

By implementing Dreamclass we have streamlined our processes at the school, reduced data entry and increased transparency of account management to reduce errors. Overall a great boost to business productivity.
Onboarding was easy enough with the great support from Dreamclass. We were able to shape the software to fit our needs and the tech team in Dreamclass even accommodated small requests for our business and locale.
Minor things did not suit our school, such as monthly billing cycles for invoices. The invoice system is a little rudimentary and we would love to connect the system via API to a more robust accounting software, but this does not outweigh the benefits we have received from implementing an online invoicing system to begin with.
Ira thank you very much for your feedback! We are extremely grateful you appreciate our efforts.Our team is designing an easier invoicing mechanism and it will be released in 2023 as well as more advanced API options.We will continue to work hard to meet our Customer's Requirements.Thank you very much, The DreamClass team

We are a small fashion school, we have less than 100 students. The courses become popular during the last years, and we had trouble to manage attendance, class records, admissions, calendar, etc. While looking for a school CRM we found DreamClass, it is suitable for us because, being a small company, we can not afford to customize a big CRM. Other companies offer much more detailed-specific software, but is not suitable if you have only few students. After some interviews with different companies, I did the trial with Dreamclass, and has no doubts about it. We found Dreamclass easy to set, easy to use, and (very important) user-friendly. The platform was not available in Italian, and they did all the translations in less than a month. Highly recommend it!
Other CRM have grey - complex interface that is not suitable for young students, DC is intuitive and easy to set. The customer service is excellent, if I have a problem or if I don't find something they fix immediately or send me a video tutorial. Students and teachers have access to their own area, which is easy to use and that is an important feature. I am overall happy with the platform, I will probably add the online payment anytime soon.
If I want to be very, very demanding, it could have some integration regarding expenses and some economic aspects. Right now we use another software, and it would be comfortable to have an all-in-one. But this is not, by far, a reason to change DreamClass. At the end, it is a school management software and does it job VERY well.
Hello Lucia Thank you for your review! It is our pleasure to hear your valuable feedback. We are happy you are enjoying the DreamClass experience. We will seriously consider the expense management and come back to you with updates. The DreamClass team

I would recommend DreamClass to others. They are attentive to your needs and willing to go the extra mile for your organization.
The customer service is outstanding! I have never worked with a company that will not only email you in a timely manner, but they will hop on a zoom call and personally work through any issues that may arise. Hands down - great experience so far with DreamClass.
I have nothing to comment in this section.
Melissa, We are overjoyed to read your 5-star review! Thank you for your kind words and for supporting our product/service. We truly appreciate your feedback and are always striving to improve. We will continue to work hard :heart: The DreamClass team

As a new university, we required a student information system to run efficiently. The first information system we contracted with was not a good fit for John Melvin University as it was designed for K-12. We used it for one semester while immediately searching for something else. During that search, we encountered DreamClass. DreamClass has offered several modifications, at every level, to ensure this system will work for our school. As a bonus, they also initially set up courses/programs. That is something we had to do ourselves in the original system. I would recommend DreamClass to any school looking for a student information system.
DreamClass is easy to use. They are quick to make modifications when needed.
There is nothing I dislike about DreamClass so far.
Karen, Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review.

More than 12 student information management systems have been tried, but Dreamclass was distinguished by its service, team, simplicity of operations and ease of use.
The most important characteristic of the Dreamclass application is the ambitious team that is keen to support its customers immediately and urgently
There are no negatives at present, but the presence of a mobile application may be an opportunity for improvement that contributes to the spread of Dreamclass more widely.
Thank you Eyab! We are so happy to see our Customer Service stands out The mobile app, is such a good suggestion and it will be available very soon. Stay tuned and have a beautiful day

Overall, our experience with DreamClass has been good.
This is our first year to use DreamClass. Their customer service is great as they are quick to respond and try their best to fix or create a solution to any issue.
As with any software, there will be issues that arise that there is no solution.
Lynn, Thank you for your 5-star review. This past year it's been a pleasure supporting your school and we are looking forward to working with you in the next years to come Muchas Gracias

I have had outstanding customer support with this software.
I like how I can send out a link to potential clients and they can sign up for classes without help from me! I like how I can contact and entire class of students easily through the software
I have run into trouble with parents signing back into their accounts after initial registration.
Caralee thank you for you 5 star review ! DreamClass is on a mission to support every small school in the States and to help streamline their administrative processes.

Overall DreamClass is a great platform. The support is top-notch and extremely responsive, the cost is reasonable for the platform you are getting, and it does much of what existing SMS platforms offer. If you are at a larger institution with hundreds of students, there might be more manual admin work you have to do since some of those automated / quick-use features are absent, but once it's running it'll take care of you.
DreamClass offers a lot of bang for your buck - classroom or event registration, detailed user data, customizable admissions forms, a well-respected and secure payment option (Stripe integration), and great classroom management and attendance-taking ability. Teacher usability is very important for us, and the fact that our staff were able to utilize said features without much training necessary was super helpful. Parent portal information is also expertly laid out and easy on the eyes. Additionally, the tagging feature is extremely helpful for teachers and admins to organize their classes, students, parents and school resources.
Some automation features are missing, such as autopayment for invoices, quick-unenroll options for students, the ability to combine unenrolling a student with erasing their invoices and fees (all these must be done separately), the ability to mass-accept applications, and the ability to refund invoices from within DreamClass (must be done outside in Stripe), robust Excel reporting tools, or the ability to archive old periods / classes. A lot of these features, however, are in development so this review might be outdated by the time you are reading it!

Amazing! The folks at DreamClass have been great to work with. They are personal, knowledgeable and helpful. I can't speak to the needs of a large organization, but for a small organization, DreamClass is the perfect solution!
1. Affordable monthly subscription, even for small organizations. No huge set-up costs. 2. Simple, intuitive, and immediate set-up. Try it yourself with a simple free trial. Then seamlessly convert to a paid subscription. No sunk set-up costs. No risk! 3. Beautiful and intuitive user-interface. 4. Excellent and responsive customer service. 5. New features rolling out regularly.
Some features are still in development. For our purposes, the current implementation of certain features (grading, scheduling) is rudimentary.
"Patricia, Thank you for taking the time to write a review! We are happy you chose DreamClass over your inhouse solution! Having a cloud solution can really remove the hustle of maintenance and the cost associated with it :) We have exciting news about the Schedule and the Gradebook: 1)School Calendar: You can set up recurring lessons for your entire school year, with just a few clicks....

Our overall experience with DreamClass is very positive, the way that we are able to track students and use our scheduling is far better and more efficient than the way we were doing this before.
The features that are most impactful are the scheduling, attendance monitoring, lesson reviews, and class management. Once you have received the one to one training to use and tailor it for your company the product has been fairly easy to use with little complication. Most of the integration was easy to do, hopefully the rest of our staff feels the same way.
There were a few changes that needed to be made in order for us to use the system to our advantage. For example, the way that we would classify classes and subjects is different to how it needs to be done on DreamClass as our company is smaller and differs to the average school. The only areas that appear difficult are the ones that we have not needed to use or have not yet used, such as the grading system for our students. As mentioned before the integration was fairly easy to do, however there were little challenges as the features designed for a school have to be used differently for our company as we focus more on one to one tuition.
Joel, Thank you for your review! We are happy you are enjoying your experience with DreamClass and we will continue to build features that make the administration of your school easier! As we understand many schools like yours provide 1:1 tutoring we will be delivering a 1:1 scheduling set up very soon. Stay tuned :) About the gradebook set up, we provide a quick walk through in this Youtube video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n8pPjP8Ag0 What's amazing and will save you valuable time, are gradebook templates! If you have a specific template for your courses you can create a gradebook template and assign it to multiple classes. Have a beautiful day DreamClass Support Team

All info in one place, where as before we had a clunky system of several different platforms.
I like that is makes my job a lot easier compared to all the data entry and emails I used to send most are automated now. Instead of using 2-3 different platforms to collect student registration, collect payment and make contact with parents, all 3 of these are done in one place. The Dreamclass team has been so helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to have had a training video or manual to go over basic tasks and then also one that goes into detail about other features. There is so much that dreamclass can do and I didn't know about any of it until I asked. It would be nice to have some materials to look over on my own rather than having to always reach out.
It's so wonderful to read that DreamClass is making your job easier! This is our mission! For your feedback on the training videos and tutorials, some useful spaces to look at are: https://support.dreamclass.io/portal/en/kb/dreamclass and our YouTube videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv1tMxNngD-MeaZroM11M8g More tutorials will be added soon and we will be reaching out to our Customer Base via our newsletter.

Our experience has been great! The team is super helpful, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] our main contact person is just wonderful and very responsive. Adding in our students and their info has been super easy. Any issue we've ran into has been addressed. So far we could not be happier!
The features that are available fit what we were looking for. Previously we had spent 2 years trying to get Classter setup for our needs, we ran into one problem after another and were never able to use it! We have only been setting up DreamClass for about 2 weeks and its ready to use. Customer service is wonderful, questions are answered quickly. They are constantly rolling out new features it seems and so far it has been a vastly different experience than what we went through with Classter.
There are some features missing due to it being a newer software, but just in the 2 weeks we've been using this they have already starting rolling out some of those features. Like email templates, etc.
Thank you so much Katie for your feedback! We highly appreciate your positive & constructive feedback :slightly_smiling_face: We will continue to work hard to build new features to make your daily tasks easier.

As we work with multiple locations, instructors, and students DreamClass has allowed us to organize our classes in a way we have not been able to in the past. Instructors can easily communicate with their students via email and vise-versa and keeps planning for upcoming classes organized. It is easy to use overall and the customer service from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is amazing!
Few things are still in the development phase which may require some tedious work when setting up on the backend such as repeating classes through different locations and creating grade book for each class. Additionally, it is not as user friendly on a mobile phone. However they are quick to respond and take all feedback into consideration.
Jazmine, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5 star rating - it's much appreciated! We would like to share some exciting news: 1) Recurring set up of classes: You can now schedule recurring classes in one go for the whole academic period. You simply select the days, add the class duration and you are good to go! Here's a quick how to video: https://youtu.be/4JhyvhhbhqI 2) Gradebook...

My overall experience is rated a 10! I searched for a system for months that was easy and affordable, signed up and tried it for free, received the demo and became a paying customer! So glad I did and would recommend it!!!
Both my daughter and I love the easy maneuverability of Dream Class as a student management system and the simplicity of the program. I received excellent customer service from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] as she trained both my daughter and I on the system! I highly recommend Dream Class to any institution whether you are an online school or a traditional brick and mortar school.
I love the product and have not found anything that I didn't like.

The support team and account managers are extremely responsive and helpful. I have used many SIS and this one performs task well at a fraction of the cost
We use DreamClass for our SIS and I have found it to be user friendly, clean and when I run into a problem, the support team makes custom videos to help me figure out the issue
There is not yet an admissions application, which we would love to see in the future. There is a learning curve with the software, but overall it is great for smaller companies
Kyle, thank for taking the time to share your feedback with our team. It is greatly appreciated. As we are committed to continuously improved DreamClass and make the best School Management System, we are delighted to inform you that you can now create admission application forms for your school.

Overall, this is a wonderful school portal and has been a HUGE success for our school! I'm so happy with it and recommend it to others!!
DreamClass is so easy to use and was easy to learn! I love that it is extremely customizable to our school needs, and it is an easy platform for parents, teachers and admin to communicate with each other! The financial invoicing makes it so easy to have everything in one place, and with the Stripe portal, parents can easily access their invoices! I hope to have some sort of way to set up automatic payments for parents so it's even more easy for them to use! Lids has been a HUGE help and is so quick to respond with advice or videos on how to navigate any problems or questions that might arise.
I know that there is a lot of development going on, I hope to see in the future better report generators as far as gradebooks and information go. I don't particularly love that when you pull bulk reports, such as grading or transcripts, that it comes out in a spreadsheet that doesn't make very much sense to parents if they were to look at if first glance.

We have enjoyed using Dream class for the last 9 or so months and have moved into the platform with ease, thanks to the wonderful customer service we always receive! Any question, they are always there to help quickly!
If there were any functions we wanted added or changed, we would message customer service and within a short time frame they were able to help us, so there truly is nothing we do not enjoy with Dream class!

Using DreamClass has been a great experience. The software is affordable but able to do everything we needed to have a successful summer school program. My favorite aspect of the company is the customer service. My point of contact, Lids, was always quick to reply and help solve any situation we encountered. The DreamClass team was able to customize our report cards that worked best for our school. I'm truly impressed at how quickly our problems were solved. I have never experienced such great service in the field of education. I will definitely be using DreamClass for our next summer school session.
The software was easy to navigate, customizable, and had many features needed for our summer school program.
There were some glitches in the system. However, DreamClass support immediately fixed the issues we encountered.

The software is easy to use, large clean menu options make it easy to navigate. Tagging and color coding options make it reporting easy. In addition, the ongoing support from the company and responsiveness to changes to make it better for our usage has made it easy to transition over.
There is one feature we as still waiting on but was told would be available within the month.

Stellar experience in every way. They care about getting it right for us - meeting our current and future needs.
The DreamClass program is an efficient program that is easy to learn and use. This is the first Student Management Program for our school and it seems to fit our needs so well now, and will continue to do so as we grow. What has been the foundation of our excellent experience with DreamClass has been the stellar customer service by [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and the DreamClass support team. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been there with us every step of the way and her support has been invaluable in our feeling comfortable with the program and all its features. They've proven that they are partners with us, improving features as we've made suggestions or requests.
As with any new program, there were the usual start-up challenges as DreamClass and our school synched up, but nothing unexpected or unusual. Once again, the DreamClass team was steadfastly by our side to ensure that our setup was exactly what we needed for our school.
Thank you, Amy, for taking the time to share your feedback with our team :)

All data is in one place - it makes keeping records of students easy. Making changes to registration is pretty simple.
I wish there was a way to embed our schedule into the registration process, so parents register by clicking on a class in the schedule to register.
