For private & independent schools

A welcoming campus, looked after.

Safety families can feel, without making your school feel like a fortress. VOLT works with the cameras you already have, and a trained person checks every alert.

Why it matters now

Safety is part of why families choose you.

Parents ask on tours how campus is looked after and how they will hear about a problem. VOLT gives you a calm, clear answer.

#1 reason

Safety is now the top reason private and charter school parents choose a school.

Under one hire

VOLT costs less than adding one full-time security employee.

Your community already knows every family by name. VOLT helps your small team notice the moments no one can watch for, like a student who needs help at 5:55 PM as staff coverage winds down.

Care first

Help for the moments that matter.

Many moments are about care: a student who is hurt, in a conflict, or somewhere they should not be.

Medical emergencies

A fall or a student who suddenly needs help, noticed even after the school day ends.

Fights and conflicts

Scuffles noticed early, so they can become a conversation, not a crisis.

After-hours access

Someone on campus when they should not be, flagged for the staff you choose.

Weapon alerts, verified by people

Rare, serious moments, confirmed by a trained person before anyone is alerted.

Welcoming, not fortified

Safety families feel, not a fortress they see.

No lines, no metal detectors, no new hardware. A safety upgrade families feel more than they see.

What VOLT adds

A caring layer on what you have

  • Notices moments that need help on the cameras you already have
  • Sends alerts only after a trained person has checked them
  • Shows your team exactly where help is needed
  • Keeps campus feeling like your school

What VOLT doesn’t add

Nothing that feels like a fortress

  • Metal detectors or security lines
  • New cameras or hardware
  • Facial recognition
  • A locked-down feel for students and families

Stories from schools like yours

Peer schools, real moments.

Independent schools use VOLT to look after students without changing how campus feels.

…like having a million eyes that you wouldn’t ever normally have.

Extended coverage to a new building. Its Founder and Chief Financial & Operating Officer says VOLT costs less than one full-time security employee.

Indian Creek School · Maryland

A person-down alert around 5:55 PM, as staff coverage wound down, helped staff reach a student who needed urgent care.

Onboarding handled with you

Funding

Grants can help.

Some private and faith-based schools use nonprofit security grants. Eligibility and allowable costs vary, and we help you check what may apply.

FEMA Nonprofit Security Grant Program

NSGP is for nonprofits at risk of attack. Your state runs applications, and each year’s rules set which costs are allowed.

State nonprofit security funds

Several states offer security grants for nonpublic schools. We help you see what applies.

Donor-funded safety projects

Families, foundations and donors can fund student safety as a named gift or annual fund priority.
