Case Study: School District of the Chathams achieves 75% faster software management and cost‑efficient, industry‑standard creative education with Adobe Creative Cloud (Adobe)

New Jersey’s School District of the Chathams prepares students for future careers and studies with Adobe Creative Cloud

The School District of the Chathams in New Jersey wanted to expand hands-on, career-ready creative learning for more than 4,150 students while keeping software current and cutting the cost and effort of managing licenses. Administrators needed a scalable, up-to-date solution that would improve compatibility with school equipment and free IT staff from time-consuming manual installs and serial-number management.

The district adopted Adobe Creative Cloud for education, centralizing license control and using deployment packages to automate installs. This approach cut management time by about 75%, delivered greater cost-efficiency (about $25 per student), and let teachers train students on industry-standard apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Dreamweaver—resulting in richer classroom projects and real-world skills transferable to college and careers.
