SchEDU

SchEDU is a term-planning and classroom-materials app for teachers whose work follows DepEd or college term calendars. It is especially well suited to busy teachers and departments coordinating several sections. Its value lies in pairing balanced schedules with assessment drafting and progress tracking, though its free plan’s two-plan lifetime cap is restrictive.

Overview

SchEDU takes subjects and class times and builds a term schedule, then helps turn lessons into classroom activities. Separate section tracking and a department-wide view make it more useful for coordinating classes than a planner focused only on an individual teacher’s calendar. Teachers who simply need a place to record lessons may find that broader workflow unnecessary.

Key features

Term planning and activity drafting

Automatic planning spaces quizzes, sequences performance tasks and exams, and accounts for review buffers and holidays. That can help teachers distribute assessment work across a term; the plan still needs to fit the needs of each class. SchEDU drafts quizzes, written work, performance tasks and exams from lessons, with daily generation quotas that make the paid tiers more suitable for frequent use.

Materials and oversight

Text can be imported from PDFs and photos, and teachers can upload a school template for generated documents. Export to Word or PDF makes activities and exams easier to carry into existing document workflows. Each section has its own pace and completion status, while department heads can see teachers’ plans and progress in one dashboard—a meaningful advantage for school oversight, but less relevant to a solo teacher.

Calendar support covers DepEd school years and college prelim-midterm-final terms. SchEDU says it handles personal information under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules; data is encrypted in transit, database access is controlled per user, and payment credentials are handled by payment providers. Requested activity and exam generation may send selected lesson content to trusted AI providers.

Pricing

The Free plan costs free, billed forever. It includes full-term auto-planning, two subjects, one automated activity or exam per day, and only two lesson plans for the lifetime of the account. That lifetime cap makes it a way to try the workflow or manage a very small planning load, not a roomy ongoing option.

Pro costs $4.99 a month, billed monthly, and raises the allowance to 10 lesson plans, five subjects and 10 automated activities or exams per day. It suits an individual teacher who needs more room than Free without Max’s larger quotas. Max costs $9.99 a month, billed monthly, and includes 20 lesson plans, 20 subjects and 20 generated activities or exams per day. It is the stronger fit for heavier workloads across more subjects. Both paid plans include everything in Free; even Max remains capped at 20 lesson plans.

Platforms

SchEDU is web-based, with an Android soft launch planned for the 2026-2027 school year. Plan upgrades can be made from the web. Readers needing iOS access should consider another option.

Who it's for

Subject teachers, class advisers, new and busy teachers can use SchEDU to organize term assessments and prepare classroom materials. Its section tracking and department dashboard make it particularly relevant to departments and schools that need visibility across teachers’ plans. It is a weaker fit for educators who need iOS support or more than 20 lesson plans under a single plan.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Automatic term planning accounts for assessment order, review buffers and holidays, reducing the work of balancing a schedule.
• PDF/photo text import, school templates and Word/PDF export connect lesson content to document preparation.
• Per-section tracking and a department dashboard support oversight beyond one teacher’s own plan.

Cons

• The Free plan allows just two lesson plans over the account’s lifetime, sharply limiting continued use.
• Paid tiers still cap lesson plans at 10 or 20, so larger workloads may outgrow them.
• Android launch timing is stated for the 2026-2027 school year; iOS is not a supported platform.
• Generation may send selected lesson content to AI service providers, a consideration for schools handling sensitive material.

Alternatives

Browse lesson planning software to compare options across the category. Choose LessonApp if you want a free tier with 50+ teaching methods, up to 10 draft lessons, printable plans and the ability to browse and apply other users’ plans. Planboard is another free digital lesson-planning option for teachers. PlanbookEdu may suit teachers who prioritize unlimited weekly plans and A/B-day or rotation schedules on its free tier. Common Planner is worth considering for web-based planning with a free AI lesson assistant and Google Classroom posting. For a web tool with a free monthly allowance of generated lessons, unit plans, standalone materials and assistant messages, consider Lesson Maker Pro. Lessonly, TeacherHero and Ignite are also alternatives.

Verdict

SchEDU is a good match for teachers and departments that need term schedules, drafted assessments and visibility across sections in one workflow. Its department dashboard and school-oriented document support are compelling reasons to choose it; the free plan’s lifetime limit and paid plan caps are strong reasons to look elsewhere if your teaching load is large or growing.
