Backpack is creating an academic opportunity for every learner in the world.

Backpack, the world’s first Personal Education Record(TM), will permit you to securely gather, store, manage and share your own academic information - when you want, where you want and with whom you choose.


Backpack’s founders are parents who felt there had to be a better way to store and manage their children’s educational achievements.

Current student information systems are too rigid. They don’t track historical performance; they don’t include accomplishments, achievements or extracurricular activities. They can’t be accessed by colleges, universities or trade schools. They are not portable. They can’t be shared. And most importantly, they don’t belong to the learners or parents. Much like a health record or credit score, your backpack personal education record™ is as unique and individual as your fingerprint.
Heres how:
