Apple Programs

When educators teach coding, they’re not only teaching the language of technology, but also teaching new ways to bring ideas to life. Apple has designed resources to make it easy for anyone to learn, write, and teach app design, coding and app development. Coding resources use the Swift Playgrounds app to help educators teach essential skills that can be applied no matter what career students pursue. And the Develop in Swift Tutorials support students and educators by teaching industry-recognized skills with Xcode.

Apple Developer Program for Education

Apple provides free tools, curriculum support, and learning experiences that help students develop coding and app development skills using Swift, Swift Playgrounds, and Xcode.

Discover how Apple's education-focused app development program helps students turn ideas into apps while supporting teaching, learning, and innovation in the classroom.

Accessibility in Education

Technology is most powerful when it empowers everyone. At Apple, accessibility is both a corporate value and a robust collection of products and services that are intentionally designed as part of an evolving world of universal access. Powerful assistive features are built straight into iPad and Mac to complement each learner’s diverse needs. Educators find that Apple devices allow students to create, communicate, personalize and explore in new ways. Whether through adjustable visual settings, customized learning tools or alternative communication methods, students are able to engage with content in ways that resonate with their individual learning styles.

Tools for Educators

Classroom App

The Classroom app turns iPad and Mac into powerful teaching assistants, helping educators guide students through lessons and keep them focused on the task at hand. Teachers can launch a specific app, website or textbook page on each student’s device. Or when needed, they can mute student devices or lock iPad into a single app for uninterrupted learning. And Managed Apple Accounts allow for the Classroom app to be configured with class rosters automatically, so teachers can start working with their students right away. Teachers can create agendas with tasks and associated actions, such as opening and locking students into an app. The built-in timer in Classroom can help teachers set expectations and streamline lessons by getting students into the right place at the right time – together. And once teachers have created an agenda, they can save and duplicate it to adjust it for other classes or share with colleagues. Classroom works at any distance. Students in proximity can automatically join the class when the session begins, and teachers can choose to connect remotely to all other students in just a few taps. Teachers can get started straight away with Classroom by simply downloading it from the App Store and adding student devices. Alternatively, they can work with classes created for them in Apple School Manager.

Schoolwork

The Schoolwork app harnesses the creative power of iPad for hands-on learning. Even when they’re out of the classroom, teachers can share a variety of content with students, including PDFs, files, photos, videos, documents, links, exit tickets, apps, and even activities within apps. And Schoolwork helps teachers to keep up with how everyone in class is doing, so they can tailor their teaching to the needs of each student. They can easily view class or student progress data and use it to help assess and personalise instruction for each student. It’s easy for students to use, too. Assignments and announcements automatically appear on their iPad devices, organised by due date and class. And students have a single place to find content and instruction, submit work and view their progress. Using Schoolwork also allows teachers and students to work together in real time, even when they’re not physically together. They can quickly collaborate using Pages, Numbers or Keynote in iCloud at any time, from anywhere.

Apple School Manager

Apple School Manager is a simple, web-based portal that allows IT admins to deploy Apple devices to users. The devices a school purchases from Apple or an authorised reseller will automatically appear in Apple School Manager for assignment to their thirdparty MDM solution. When school-owned devices are unboxed and activated, this portal will instruct users to enrol into MDM using the enrolment settings that were previously defined.

Value that Outlasts the Budget Cycle

A device is only a good buy if it is still doing the job in year five. Apple hardware stays supported and in service far longer than most classroom technology, holds real resale value at trade-in and comes with the software your teachers need already included — Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie, and GarageBand.

Accessibility, privacy and security are built into every device rather than purchased separately, so every learner is supported from day one. And Apple School Manager lets a small IT team deploy and manage thousands of devices without adding headcount.

We will not sell you what you do not need. Talk to your local Bluum expert about the mix that fits your enrollment, your refresh cycle and your budget.

Privacy

Apple believes that privacy is a fundamental human right. It’s why every Apple product is built with an integrated approach to privacy and security to keep student data secure. Ongoing software updates keep iPad and Mac current and protected from costly viruses. And innovative privacy technologies and features minimize how much user data Apple – or anyone else – can access.

Sustainability in Education

Every device a district buys leaves a footprint. Apple works to shrink it, and reports that 30 percent of the material in products shipped in 2025 came from recycled content — its highest level yet. Pair that with hardware that stays in classrooms for years, and the greenest device becomes the one you never had to replace.
