What Microsoft offers schools and colleges

Microsoft offers education plans to eligible schools, colleges and universities, including a free web-based plan with email, Teams and Office in the browser, and paid plans with desktop apps and stronger security. Microsoft decides eligibility and pricing, and its plans change from time to time.

We check what you qualify for at the start, before you spend anything.

Built around how classes run

We set up Teams so each class has its own space, with channels for subjects, assignments and announcements. Teachers share notes, collect work and hold online classes in one place. Students sign in with their school account on any device.

AI tools, with school data protected

Microsoft offers Copilot Chat to education users, with enterprise data protection when they sign in with their school account. Which features are available depends on your plan and on Microsoft’s rules for students of different ages. We switch on what your licences allow and show teachers how to use it for lesson planning and feedback.
