Multi-Platform, No Compromises: GoGuardian Delivers Full Support for Windows

Every district has its own technology blueprint. Some lean heavily on Chromebooks, others rely on Windows devices, and many blend multiple operating systems to serve their unique communities. No matter what mix your district uses, GoGuardian is built to work where you do, as we partner with schools across platforms to meet educator and student needs. We are constantly evolving to meet these needs, and have always made it a focus to implement powerful, purpose-built updates and enhancements across our entire product suite, from GoGuardian Admin to Teacher and Beacon. 

The GoGuardian suite is fully optimized to deliver a seamless, unified experience across all environments, including Windows and Chrome. Whether you're managing digital safety policies, facilitating engaging classroom instruction, or supporting student safety, GoGuardian solutions are built for your district, no matter the operating system or device.

Powerful, purposeful innovation for all districts

Over the past year, we’ve doubled down on our commitment to Windows districts, shipping 14 product updates, including eight in just 2025.
