About CES-LINKS

Education technology, designed from the inside.

LINKS is the first Comprehensive Education System: one connected platform, built with AI guardrails, that brings together the systems, people, and data behind every student’s education.

Why we built LINKS

Too many systems. Not enough time.

LINKS was born from a repeated frustration: watching talented teachers and administrators lose hours every week to systems that don’t talk to each other.

Founder and CEO Dr. Marie Hubley-Alcock has spent more than 25 years as a curriculum designer, school leader, and co-author of Bold Moves for Schools. LINKS is the product of that experience, designed by someone who has done the job.

“Technology should support educators and learners, not diminish them.”

Our philosophy
