🎓 Helix for Education

AI Built for Learning.
Private by Design.

Privian Helix gives every student, teacher, and administrator their own private AI — running on your school's hardware, governed by your policies, FERPA and COPPA compliant by architecture.

We See You

Education deserves better
than duct-taped AI.

Cloud AI tools weren't built for classrooms. Student data, compliance, academic integrity — they don't fit. Helix was built from the ground up for how schools actually work.

😤

"Students are using ChatGPT to write their assignments and I can't stop it."

Helix academic guardrails prevent AI from writing for students — it guides, scaffolds, and asks questions instead. You set exactly where the line is, per student.

😰

"Putting student data into cloud AI tools terrifies our compliance team."

Student data never leaves your network. Helix runs on your hardware — FERPA and COPPA compliant by architecture, not by policy promise.

"Teachers spend more time on admin than actually teaching."

Helix handles lesson planning, rubric generation, differentiation, and parent communications automatically. Teachers get their time back in the classroom.

💸

"We can't afford $20-per-seat AI subscriptions for 500 students."

One device, no per-seat fees, no monthly cloud bills. Helix runs on hardware you own. Every student, every teacher — covered.

🤯

"Every student learns differently but we can't personalise at scale."

Each student's Persona adapts to their learning style, pace, and gaps — privately, on your network. No student sees another's data. Every learner gets a tailored experience.

🔁

"Our IT team is buried managing a dozen different ed-tech subscriptions."

One system. One install. Helix replaces a stack of disconnected tools with a single governed platform your IT team controls — and your teachers actually use.

Role Personas

Every role. Every need. Governed.

Teachers, students, and administrators each get their own AI — with the access, guardrails, and capabilities their role requires. You define the policies. Helix enforces them.

⚙️

Administrators set the rules. Helix enforces them — automatically.

Every student persona operates within the guardrails you define. Teachers see only their class data. Students can only access what's appropriate for their age and assignment. Nothing flows outside those boundaries by accident.

Real conversations.
Real guardrails. Real results.

Same platform. Completely different experiences — each one shaped by the role and policies you've defined.

Just write my Civil War essay for me.
Writing it for you isn't something I can do — your teacher has essay-assist turned off. But let's build it together. What do you already know about the Civil War?

What were the main causes?
Good starting point. Pick the one you find most convincing — slavery, states' rights, or economic tension — and build your argument from there. Which feels strongest to you?

MCP Tool Routing

Every tool. Governed access.

Helix connects students and staff to local records, classroom tools, and cloud learning platforms through its MCP Router — every request is policy-checked, role-scoped, and logged before any tool executes.

Compliance

Built for the rules schools live by.

FERPA and COPPA aren't bolt-ons for Helix — they're inherent to the architecture. When data never leaves your building, compliance isn't a policy. It's a fact.

🏛️

FERPA Compliant

Student education records never leave your school network. No third-party AI vendor ever touches your student data — because there's no third party in the loop.

On-premise No 3rd party
👶

COPPA Ready

Children under 13 are protected by default. Data collection is limited to what's operationally required. Nothing is profiled, sold, or shared with advertisers — it can't be, by design.

Age-gated No profiling
🔒

On-Premise Always

Helix runs on hardware in your building. Every inference, every memory, every student interaction stays within your network perimeter — governed by your IT team, not ours.

Your hardware IT controlled
Platform Foundation

Enterprise-grade platform.
Built for how schools actually work.

District SSO, role-scoped access for every staff member, student data governance, full audit logs, and monitoring — all on-premise, all compliant from day one.

🔐

Auth & District SSO

Staff and students sign in with accounts they already have. Helix connects to your district IdP and rostering system — no new passwords, no new portals to manage.

SAML 2.0 / OIDC district single sign-on
Clever & ClassLink rostering integration
Google Workspace for Education & Microsoft 365
Active Directory / LDAP for staff
MFA enforcement for admin & staff (TOTP + hardware keys)
🎭

Platform-Native RBAC

Every role in your district has the right access — nothing more. District Admin defines the rules. Helix enforces them at every layer, automatically, for every user.

District Admin → Principal → Teacher → Student
Grade-band & class-scoped student access
OPA policy enforcement on every tool call
Guardrail policy per student age band
Immutable permission change audit trail
🚩

Feature & Guardrail Control

District admins control exactly which AI capabilities are available to each role and grade level — without IT involvement on every change. Turn on, turn off, restrict. Instantly.

Per-grade content guardrail configuration
Subject-area feature scoping per teacher
Academic integrity mode — school-level toggle
Exam lockdown: disable AI for assessment windows
Config-driven — no redeploy required
📊

Monitoring & Audit Logs

Every student query, every AI decision, every policy event — logged on-premise. When a parent, a lawyer, or an auditor asks what the AI did, you have a complete, tamper-proof answer.

Prometheus + Grafana platform health
Per-student interaction audit log (on-prem only)

Student Data Sovereignty

Student PII never leaves the school's infrastructure. No model training on student data. No vendor retention of conversation history. FERPA and COPPA compliance is structural, not a policy checkbox.

All student data on-premise — zero cloud egress
PostgreSQL row-level security per student
No vendor model training on student interactions
Parent data access request support (FERPA §99.10)
COPPA-compliant for students under 13

IT-Friendly Deployment

School IT teams are stretched thin. Helix is designed to install in a day, update itself automatically, and run without a dedicated AI ops team. If it runs on your hardware, it runs Helix.

Zero-config hardware detection on setup
Atomic updates — auto-applied, rollback-safe
Offline-first — works without internet
Multi-school district deployment supported
Alerting + runbooks for school IT teams
