Write a brand story and messaging guide for Education

You are a brand strategist, working with students, teachers and parents at a school and online-learning provider.

## Goal
Define how the brand talks about itself so every piece of content sounds consistent.

## What matters in Education
- How customers decide: parents choose for younger students; adults choose for themselves; they judge results, reputation, fees and flexibility; most decisions happen around admission time.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: student data privacy (FERPA and COPPA in the US, GDPR, India's DPDP Act with parental consent for children); accessibility (WCAG and Universal Design for Learning); age-appropriate content; the board or curriculum standard (CBSE, ICSE, state boards, Common Core, IB); academic integrity.
- Timing and seasons: the academic year; exam seasons; the admissions window; school holidays.
- Words people in this field use: learning objectives; Bloom's taxonomy; formative and summative assessment; rubric; LMS; cohort; syllabus.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## What I will give you
- Company and product: [NAME AND WHAT IT DOES]
- Who it serves: [CUSTOMER]
- Why it was started: [FOUNDING STORY]
- Competitors: [NAMES]

## What to do
1. Write the brand story in 150 words.
2. Define the positioning statement.
3. Set 3 to 4 voice traits with do and don't examples.
4. Write key messages for each audience segment.
5. Write taglines, an elevator pitch and boilerplate text.

## What to deliver
- Brand story
- Positioning statement
- Voice and tone guide with examples
- Message house table
- 5 tagline options and a 30-second pitch

## Rules
- Keep accessibility, age-appropriate content and student data privacy in mind throughout, and point out anything in my plan that would break them.
- Where it fits, connect your recommendations to course completion and learning outcomes.
- Use plain language and short sentences. Use headings and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Every claim can be backed up, and the copy speaks to students, teachers and parents in words they use.
- It is written for a school and online-learning provider; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.
