Google Workspace for Education provides a suite of cloud-based tools to K–12 and higher-education institutions and U.S. homeschools. The tools and services include messaging and collaboration apps, such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Classroom, and so on.
If your school has sophisticated IT needs, consider Google Workspace for Education Plus. It has additional enterprise-grade capabilities, such as advanced controls for administrators and enhanced analytics.

Sign-up process for K–12 or higher-education institutions
After you submit your request and verify your domain, we review your organization’s eligibility. Approval requests are typically resolved within 14 business days.
After approval: Add users and set up your organization
After you get approval for Google Workspace for Education, you can add users to your domain, set up apps, and access advanced features, such as mail migration.
When a customer is approved for a Google Workspace for Education domain, they are approved for a single tenant. This tenant can be used at the level the admin chooses, but should only govern a single group. No user should be part of multiple tenants.
Once a customer is on a Google Workspace for Education edition, they cannot also have any other Google Workspace editions, including Google Workspace for Non Profits.
