We didn’t set out to build software. We set out to solve a problem every school owner knows too well.
Opus1.io started with a simple realization: the tools we were using to run our schools weren’t made for us. Between spreadsheets, clunky software, and constant admin tasks, we were spending more time managing the business than inspiring students. So we built something better—a platform purpose-built for the way music and performing arts schools really work.
Opus1 started as a solution to our own frustrations. We wanted to spend more time teaching and growing our schools—and less time buried in admin. Every feature we’ve built is designed to give that time and clarity back to school owners like us.
