Academy is a teaching, tracking, and compliance platform built around one goal: the best educational experience for the child. It doesn't replace the teacher. It supercharges them, whether that's a 30-kid classroom, a kitchen-table homeschool, or a solo learner keeping pace on their own. Meet Mirello, the friendly tutor who guides every lesson.
7-day free trial. No card needed for the demo lessons below.
These are actual lessons from the library, fully playable right now: narrated scenes, interactive checks, science simulations, and the games kids talk about at dinner.
The 6th-8th grade demos showcase the new interactive engine: a real light-bending simulation, and lessons that end in The Heist and Launch Director.
I'm Brendan. Academy started at my kitchen table, teaching my own two kids, because nothing on the market actually taught the way I wanted. It has grown into something bigger: a teaching, tracking, and compliance platform with one non-negotiable goal, the best educational experience for the child.
Academy is not here to replace the teacher. It exists to supercharge them. A teacher with thirty kids gets real lessons that hold attention, mastery data on every student, and compliance paperwork that writes itself. A homeschool parent gets a complete Pre-K–5 curriculum (6–8 in progress) without stitching together five subscriptions and a printer. A solo learner gets a clear path that moves at their pace.
Every lesson is built scene-by-scene, narrated for early readers, illustrated with real artwork, and tagged to the actual standard it teaches. Wrong answers seed tomorrow's review automatically. Mastery is tracked per skill, not just seat time. The adults see everything; the kids feel like they're playing.

Thirty kids, one teacher, zero guesswork. Assign by standard, see mastery per student per skill, and let spaced review catch the kids who nodded along but didn't get it. Per-seat pricing that respects school budgets.
A complete Pre-K–5 curriculum (6–8 in progress) with a daily planner (full-day routines or lessons-only, your call), portfolio-ready records, and state compliance checklists, including state history requirements, handled for you.
Catching up, getting ahead, or just curious: a clear path through real lessons, with games and labs that make the next step something to look forward to.
Today Academy is complete through 5th grade, with 6th–8th in progress. The arc we're building runs from a child's first day to their last credential.
Every lesson runs the same dependable arc. Kids know what to do next; parents know what was learned.
Three beans on the table. The ones place tells us how many loose beans we have, not yet bundled into tens.
Maria has 7 loose beans, not yet in tens. What number goes in the ones place?
The child meets the lesson's key words first. Tap each card to flip it. Retrieval items still due from past lessons surface here, too.
Each scene shows one idea with a real illustration and a narrated voiceover. The kid taps to reveal extensions, then answers a quick check before Next unlocks.
A subject-matched mini-game reinforces the same material. Wrong answers don't disappear; they seed retrieval items for tomorrow.
Stars and completion time are recorded. You get a per-lesson report card; the lesson marks mastered once delayed retrieval confirms it stuck.
Knowledge Race turns every lesson into a race track. Right answers give your car a boost. A ghost of your best time chases you. Naturally pulls kids back day after day, built-in spaced retrieval.
Maria has 7 loose beans. What number goes in the ones place?
The ghost of yesterday-you is the hook. Kids re-run lessons just to beat their time.
2-3 re-attempts across the week match the SM-2 cadence the rest of the app uses.
Each lesson's quickChecks become race checkpoints. No new content to author.
Academy isn't a worksheet generator. It's a structured method designed so learning lands and stays landed.
Every lesson is a paginated scene flow. Sticky visual on top, one idea below, narrated voice for early readers, then a quick check before the kid can move on. No PDFs. No padding.
Every lesson carries the real Common Core / NGSS / C3 code it teaches to. Parents see standards progress per child. State portfolio reviews become trivial.
Wrong answers and shaky quick-checks seed an SM-2 retrieval queue. Yesterday's stumbles become tomorrow's warm-up, automatic, no flashcard prep.
Every skill is tracked with delayed retrieval, not just completion, so you see who has truly mastered it and who needs another pass. Kids who get it move ahead; kids who don't get the support they need.
Live progress, state compliance, faith curriculum, parent PIN, kid intel pages, and a guided setup that ends with your first week already planned.
Open your child's dashboard and watch their current lesson, scene number, and progress percentage update in real time. You don't have to wait until they're done to know how it went.
Sign up and the wizard walks you through your family, your faith tradition, your subjects, and a parent PIN, ending with payment on file (7-day free trial, cancel anytime).
Pick your state and the Compliance hub lays out exactly what your homeschool needs to file, when. Standards-aligned reports drop straight into your portfolio.
Religion lessons render in Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Urantia, or fully secular form. Pick one for your family or override per child.
Hand the tablet to your kid in student-mode and they can't leave without your 4-8 digit PIN. App-store distractions, web links, account settings, all gated.
Streaks, mastery levels, recent lessons, games, reading log, and today's schedule, all on one page per child. Switch between kids with one tap.
No per-child upcharges for homeschool. No hidden seats. Cancel anytime.
One self-paced learner. Best for an older student working on their own without the parent dashboard.
One flat price for the whole family. Up to 5 children. Pre-K–5 complete, 6–8 in progress, every subject, full lesson library + the parent intel dashboard.
Per-seat pricing for classrooms, microschools, and co-ops. Annual billing only, predictable for school budgets.
Whole-district contracts, custom integrations, dedicated infrastructure.
