Case Study: Wichita Public Schools saves teachers time and boosts student creativity with Canva for Education

Wichita Public Schools connects 47,000 students across 100+ languages with Canva

Wichita Public Schools, the largest and most diverse school district in Kansas, faced a significant challenge in communicating effectively with its vast and varied student body. Teachers and staff were overwhelmed by the need to use multiple, complex software platforms to create engaging educational materials, which was a frustrating and time-consuming process that did not meet the needs of all learners. This led to a search for a new, accessible solution to empower both staff and students through visual communication.

The district implemented Canva for Education, which provided a simple, centralized design platform. The solution saved teachers hours of time previously spent on technical challenges, allowing them to quickly create and update polished, engaging lessons and communications. Canva enabled the creation of visual and multilingual materials, breaking down language and cultural barriers. It also empowered students to express their learning creatively through infographics, videos, and digital portfolios, giving them agency and building essential future skills. The adoption of Canva was widespread and rapid, leveling up creativity and communication across the entire district.
