Every subject from Kindergarten to 10th Grade in one app — math, reading, writing, science, social studies, art, music, coding, typing and critical thinking, plus games and stories. Pick a grade, pick a subject, and go. Progress is remembered per child and stays on the device. FOR GROWN-UPS A parent or guardian sets the app up and accepts the terms before a child can start. Some lessons suggest hands-on activities using household items — an adult chooses those, supervises them, and handles anything involving heat, sharp tools or kitchen chemicals. AGES AND CONTENT Written for ages 4-16. The history and science here is the real thing, as it is taught in school — including war, slavery, persecution and human biology. Please read alongside your child where a topic is a hard one. PRIVACY No account and no sign-in. We ask for no name, email or address. No adverts, no analytics, no tracking, and nothing is sold or shared. Lessons are downloaded from our servers; your child's progress stays on the device.
