High School

The platform that makes communication with high school arts students a breeze

CircleUp manages communication, scheduling, fundraising, and ticketing for theatre, band, choir, and dance programs. Students actually see your messages. Parents stay informed without relying on their teens.

Free for your school

"We only make money when you collect money through our platform" by passing on a small ticket and registration fee to your patrons, parents, and donors.

Hassle free money collection

Dealing with money in a school is hard.  We remove the hassle with options including paper checks and booster club connections.

Trusted by schools and performing arts organizations nationwide

Our philosophy

A different kind of software company

We're a small team that believes in the transformative power of performing arts education. When you succeed - when your camps sell out, when your shows are packed, when donations pour in - that's when we succeed too.

It's not just business. It's personal. Because we know the late nights you put in, the magic you create with shoestring budgets, and the lives you change every single day.

Your school pays $0

No upfront costs or monthly fees
Small fee added to tickets, donations, and registrations that covers everything
Your budget stays for productions and programs

Get your evenings back

We're actively building the platform and are looking for early adopters. Please join the waitlist - and we will reach out to you
