About Us
We experienced a pressing need for quality educational technology, first-hand, in the Bible-based institutions we were serving in and studying through.
As a team of Bible-believing Christians as well as educational technology, IT, and educational professionals we had both the skills, and the heart needed to address this problem.
Therefore, in 2019 we founded Educative Tech to help address this need. We incorporated Educative Tech in the United States of America and the Republic of South Africa but our team is fully distributed.
What we do
Educative Tech is an educational technology solutions provider. We offer state-of-the-art administrative and teaching systems to Bible-based secondary and higher education institutions hosted securely in the cloud.
We leverage market-leading open-source systems and develop custom plugins and integrations on these systems for our clients.
We also develop bespoke, world first software solutions for Biblical organisations that multiply their efficiency and reach.
Who we serve
We aim to be the foremost technology service provider to Bible-based educational institutions the world over.
We want to provide technology support to principals and administrative staff at Bible-based higher-educational institutions, so that they can focus on their ministries.
We aim to assist Bible-based educational institutions to run efficiently, minimise risk and manage their reputation by setting up, servicing, and supporting online systems that will delight current and prospective students and comply with the standards of auditing authorities.
Furthermore, we help the leaders of biblical organisations to fulfil their God-given visions by developing tailored solutions that multiply their efficiency and reach using the latest software technology.
Our Vision
To see every person worldwide able to access Christ honouring, Bible-based education at an affordable rate.
Our Mission
By offering outstanding service and products, we strive to become the global, first choice service provider for Bible-based educational institutions who want to strengthen their educational technology.
