Helping students succeed today takes more than great teaching – it takes the right systems. That’s why we built LPAD SSS™: a platform developed and refined over 10+ years to unify operations and empower every part of the learning journey.
What began as a custom solution for our own teams is now a scalable framework schools can learn from-and build on.
As you can see we use many different applications. To make managing these applications easier we integrated them all into our LPAD Student Support System™ (LPAD SSS). This system integrates all of our technologies and simplifies the user experience. Using one secure username and password, students, families and staff are able to access all of their applications in one place.
By centralizing all tools into one platform, LPAD reduces time spent switching between systems and streamlines day-to-day operations for staff, students, and families.
LPAD provides administrators with real-time access to system data, enabling better tracking, compliance, and transparency across departments.
With personalized tools and integrations, LPAD enhances how students engage with learning materials while giving educators clearer insights into progress and needs.
Everything from enrollment to ordering is accessible in one place – making it easier for users to get what they need, when they need it, with just one login.
LPAD SSS™ was developed from the ground up to solve real challenges faced by students, families, and school staff. Refined over more than a decade, it brings together all the tools needed to run efficient, student-centered operations.
Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, LPAD was built inside a working educational environment, and shaped by years of hands-on experience. Every feature has been tested, optimized, and proven in practice.
The result is a platform that’s both powerful and adaptable – ready to support schools looking for smarter, more integrated systems.

“Creating and integrating all our applications into the LPAD Student Support System™ has significantly improved our operational efficiency. Now, with a single secure login, staff and students can access everything from personal data to ordering tools, enhancing both security and user experience.”

Chief Operations Officer
“The LPAD Student Support System™ has revolutionized how we manage curriculum orders. With its intuitive, ‘Amazon-like’ interface, we’ve streamlined the process to manage millions of orders. This efficiency ensures our students receive their materials and technology promptly, directly supporting their learning.”
Michael Brubaker
Senior Director of Operations
“Building the LPAD Student Support System™ from the ground up was rewarding and complex. We weren’t just creating a piece of software—we were designing a digital backbone for the entire organization. Our goal was to connect every department, every vendor, and every student through one secure, seamless platform.”
Michael Miller
Manager of Technology Services
Here’s just a few of the ways technology supports our school:
Independent Study, University Prep, and Online Middle School students receive a free Chromebook so they can learn online using SchoolsPLP, an “accredited online educational ecosystem”.
Home School parents order their curriculum online. To make this process easy we created our very own online ordering system that streamlines ordering into an “Amazon-like” experience. In 2022 we reached the milestone of 1,000,000 orders placed!
Student data is uploaded and tracked in School Pathways.
News and policies are shared on our WordPress powered intranet, the Wire.
New student applications are submitted in RegOnline, a system powered by School Pathways.

Visions has been partnered with Amazon since 2015. Our integration ensures that the process for parents to purchase curriculum, supplies and materials is a fast and user-friendly experience.
Managing materials for over 7,500 students sounds overwhelming – this is why we built something better. Our student ordering system gives families 24/7 access to a simple online portal where they can manage budgets, track orders, and get what they need – fast.
Over the past 25+ years, we’ve refined every step of the process to make sure materials are delivered on time, every time. Orders are automatically routed for approval, and our staff can monitor fulfillment from start to finish.
We’ve also partnered with trusted vendors like Amazon, Staples, Bookshark, Lakeshore Learning, and Rainbow Resource Center to provide seamless integration. Everything’s connected – so there’s no guesswork or delays.
Efficient ordering isn’t just about convenience – it’s about giving every student the tools they need to learn, without delay. With LPAD SSS™, families and staff are empowered to get materials in students’ hands faster than ever before.
