The OurSCHOOL survey by The Learning Bar Inc. is a web application that does not require the installation of any vendor‐specific software or the use of any third‐party software such as Adobe Flash, etc.
The survey does require survey‐takers to use a web‐enabled browser capable of accessing pages through a secure HTTPS connection. Common browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Chrome are supported.

For survey administrators, JavaScript must be enabled in order to view some reports. Survey administrators will also require a PDF reader in order to view One‐Click and Thematic Reports.
The OurSCHOOL Survey website will time‐out and ask the user to log back in if nothing is submitted on a page after 15 minutes. This time‐out will affect both survey‐takers and survey administrators and is in place to ensure that only active sessions are connected to the site.
We recommend that school districts using firewalls, filtering secure HTTPS content, or applying bandwidth shaping should white list the *.ourschool.net domain to ensure that the survey site is not being restricted by their network.
