The AI platform built for the CAPS classroom.
Sand Forest plans lessons, generates assessments and drafts marks against the South African CAPS curriculum — so teachers spend less time on admin and more time teaching.
One platform. The whole teaching cycle.
From a blank page to a graded class set, Sand Forest supports every stage — each output aligned to the CAPS curriculum, and every decision still yours.

Rooted in South African education.
A forest is many trees growing together — and growth that compounds. That's how we think about learning, and about the company we're building.
Sand Forest is an education-technology company creating tools that give teachers their time back. We start from the classroom, build with educators, and hold a simple line: AI should support a teacher's judgement, never replace it.
One brand, one platform, built on the curriculum South African teachers actually work to.
Clear, not clever
Lead with the useful thing. Plain language, no jargon.

A co-teacher, not a vendor. Built with educators.
