AI-Powered, Irish-Built

Learning Management System

Square Root Solutions is an LMS development company that builds learning platforms your teachers will actually use, not just log into once and abandon. We design around how Irish schools, ETBs, and training providers actually teach, not a global template with an Irish coat of paint.

Learning Management System

The problem with most LMS platforms

Every school in Ireland has a system that was rolled out with great intentions and quietly stopped being used by October. Not because the idea was wrong, but because it was built for a different country's curriculum, a different country's timetable, and a different country's way of doing things. Most of what's sold as school learning management system development is really a generic platform with an Irish sticker on it.

main-img

If you've ever tried to roll one out, some of this will sound familiar:

Teachers end up keeping their own spreadsheet on the side because the system doesn't map to how they actually plan lessons

Parents' evening turns into a scramble because attendance, homework, and grades live in three different places

The "support team" is a ticket queue in a different time zone

Nobody remembers why certain features were switched on, or how to switch them off

None of that is really about the technology. It's about custom learning workflows, not template-based LMS setup, missing entirely.

What we
actually build

As an LMS software development company, our custom LMS development services cover

We build LMS platforms from scratch, and modernise or extend existing ones for EdTech companies who already sell an LMS.

Curriculum-Mapped Course Authoring

Content delivery built around what your teachers already teach, whether that's Junior Cycle, Senior Cycle, FET, or a training provider's own programme, part of an LMS architecture built around the business model, not the other way around.

Role-Based Access

Separate, appropriate access for students, teachers, and school leadership, built on a multi-tenant LMS architecture that keeps every school's access properly separated, so nobody's looking at data they shouldn't be, and nobody's locked out of what they need.

Attendance, Homework, And Grading In One Place

So parents' evening stops being a scavenger hunt across three different systems, backed by the same assessment and certification engineering behind our grading and reporting tools.

Compliance-Ready Reporting

Reporting that matches what a Board of Management or a Department of Education inspection actually asks for, not a generic analytics dashboard.

System Integration

Built with SCORM, xAPI, and LTI integration experience and integration with existing business systems, delivered through web and mobile learning platform development so this doesn't become yet another login for staff to remember.

Learning Platforms Built Around How People Actually Learn

From multi-centre learning management to curriculum-based study platforms and professional training environments, we build connected LMS solutions that bring learning, assessment, administration and progress into one place.

We built a scalable Learning Management Platform for MLI International Schools, connecting admins, staff, and students across Ireland and the UK. The platform automates class placement, multi-centre scheduling, and staff grading, while student apps support assessments, schedules, and leaderboards.

Centralized dashboards provide comprehensive oversight, reporting, and usage analytics across learning centres.

Built for how Irish schools actually run

We know the difference between a DEIS school managing tight resources and a fee-paying secondary with a bigger IT budget. We know an ETB isn't one school, it's a group of them, often with different needs under one roof. And we know that whatever we build has to survive the reality of September: overworked staff, a two-week runway before term starts, and zero patience for a system that needs a manual.

That's the standard Square Root Solutions builds to, every time, with product development beyond the first release, not a handover the day it launches.

Who This Is For

Individual schools looking for an LMS app development company to replace a system nobody's happy with

Multi-school groups and ETBs who need one platform, not fifteen versions of the same spreadsheet, the core of what we mean by enterprise LMS development

EdTech companies whose own LMS product needs modernising, new features, or the scale to grow

Training providers and further education colleges running programmes an off-the-shelf LMS wasn't built for, exactly where LMS development services Ireland-based teams like ours make the difference

Data stays where it should

GDPR-aware learner data controls by default, hosted in Ireland, not just "somewhere in the EU." For a platform holding attendance and academic records on children, that's not a nice-to-have, it's the baseline, and it's why we describe ourselves as an education software development company first, and a technology vendor second.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most projects start with a two-week Discovery Sprint that scopes the build properly, followed by a phased rollout so you're not waiting until September to see anything working.

Yes. Square Root Solutions builds the curriculum structure around what you teach, so a secondary school running both cycles doesn't need two separate systems.

It's yours. The platform, the data, and the codebase belong to you, not locked into a subscription you can't take with you.

Some, but not much. We design around how teachers already work, so onboarding is usually a single session, not a term-long adjustment.

Same underlying platform, different logins. Parents see attendance and homework, students see coursework and grades, and nobody sees more than they should.

Both. We've built LMS platforms for primary schools with simpler needs and secondary schools managing multiple subjects, cycles, and exam years.

Yes. As well as building new LMS platforms, we modernise and extend existing ones, adding features, AI, and scale to a product you already sell, without a full rebuild.
