Why Reach?

Reach is committed to best practice! As a critical service provider to some of the best schools, camps and universities in the world we are acutely aware of the significant history and reputation at stake for organizations that use Reach.

We are entirely committed to achieving best practice with all of our clients and industry partners. Implementing technology partnerships with organizations like the Australian Boarding Schools Association to support the implementation of the Australian Standard for Boarding is an example of how Reach helps schools to manage their risk profile and improve business practices.

At all times our goal at Reach is to provide maximum risk management and procedural control for schools, camps and universities and to assist them to continuously improve the quality of student care.

This is your first question because it’s the most important. Securely handling and storing the private data of students and parents at your school should be a mandatory requirement for any System. As a starting point you require a system that stores and handles data to meet the Federal and State Personal Data Privacy laws of your region.

In addition, you should also be mindful of data residency, that’s where your data is stored. Your school should determine if you are willing to have private data of students, parents and staff stored overseas where data storage providers may not be subject to your country’s privacy regulations?

Reach is able to guarantee that our data is stored domestically. We can prevent the personal information of your students, staff, parents and hosts residing in locations outside of your own country.

We have designed the Reach user-access security system as a robust and flexible digital architecture that provides administrators with complete control across the entire user base.

Our Infinity Access Control provides administrators with unlimited flexibility and endless possibilities. It gives you the ability to control the access and activity capability for every user, on every screen, and for every action in Reach.

Using the latest in RFID technology, biometrics, or GPS to monitor student movement, Reach implements new innovative technology tools such as i-Beacons, NFC tags and QR codes. Reach is constantly seeking to improve user experience, efficiency, and security for our schools.

Data Privacy Policy

For some schools there may also be internal school policies that regulate and limit the storage of student’s personal data to on-campus, school managed servers only.

Reach offers schools the option of Cloud hosting or self-hosted environments. If your IT Department or school has on-campus data storage requirements then a Cloud based system will not be suitable for your school.

We are happy to announce the acquisition and partnership with Dr. Chris Thurber who has inspired leadership and preparing young minds to learn and live away from home since 1991. Reach schools will soon have access to the full collections of videos created by Dr. Thurber!

Understanding student wellness and engagement is vital to a happy student and a great school. That’s why we’ve partnered with Challenge Success, a non-profit affiliated with the Stanford Graduate School of Education, to provide a data-driven analysis of your school’s culture, student wellness, and engagement.

Our partnership and work with the team at Challenge Success has transformed how Reach thinks about Student Wellness and Healthy Schools. Everything from data collection to analysis gives our partner schools the information and resources needed to create an environment for students to grow and thrive.
