Case Study: O’Dea High School boosts classroom creativity and secure access with Canva for Education

O’Dea High School onboarded 460 students and 67 staff with Canva SSO

O’Dea High School, an all-male Catholic high school, sought a cutting-edge design tool that was easy to implement school-wide. The challenge was finding professional design software that was accessible for non-designers, easy to onboard, and could integrate with their existing systems without requiring multiple student sign-ins. Other tools were too complex and confined teachers and students to traditional lesson formats.

Canva provided a solution with its secure single sign-on (SSO), which made adoption and onboarding super easy for over 460 students and 67 staff. The implementation of Canva for Education enabled more creativity in the classroom, allowing teachers to diversify lessons with visual tools like presentations, posters, and videos. Students began creating interactive, visual assignments, and staff across all departments could easily produce high-quality marketing content themselves, saving time and fostering collaboration.
