Case Study: School District of the Chathams achieves 75% reduced management time and industry‑standard creative instruction with Adobe InDesign

School District of the Chathams - Customer Case Study

The School District of the Chathams, a K‑12 district in Chatham, New Jersey serving more than 4,150 students, needed up‑to‑date, industry‑standard creative software while reducing licensing costs and the administrative burden of software management. The district adopted Adobe Creative Cloud — including apps such as Adobe InDesign — to modernize art, web, and video curricula across its five schools.

By deploying Adobe InDesign and the broader Adobe Creative Cloud suite, the district centralized license management and automated deployments, cutting management time by 75% and enabling flexible, cost‑efficient scaling (about $25 per student). The Adobe InDesign/Creative Cloud solution not only lowered costs and simplified administration but also let teachers train students on professional tools (Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, InDesign) with measurable gains in efficiency and classroom capability.
