What you get
Teaches first, in about a minute
Short whiteboard lessons explain the new idea in plain words before the practice starts. One idea, one example, then their turn.
Less marking. More time together.
Tap to answer means every question grades itself. You see the results whenever you want them.
Meets each child where they are
Set the working grade per subject, anywhere from Grade 1 to 8. A Grade 2 reader can do Grade 4 math, and nobody gets a label.
A fresh lesson for a new day
Fresh examples across math and English. Your question feedback helps us choose what comes next.
A place to learn.
Room to be a kid.
No ads. No tracking pixels. No selling anything to your child. No worldview baked in, nothing you have to agree with before your child can start. We ask for only what lessons need: a first name or nickname, an age and grade, and your region. Read the privacy note: it is one page, in plain words.
What to expect during the BETA
OpenHome Learning is new, and you are early. Here is what that means.
- More every week. Math and English practice covers Grades 1 to 8 today, and whiteboard lessons for more grades are being recorded now.
- Extras, never required. World Atlas is now available, with places, photographs, food, languages and discoveries, and so is a calm times-tables game. Science is here too for Grades 3 to 5: a short lesson to watch, an idea to try at home, and a few quick questions.
- Rough edges, fixed fast. If a question is wrong or confusing, tap “Something wrong with this question?” under it. Every report is read, usually the same day.
- Your say counts. What beta families ask for decides what gets built next.
- Free throughout the beta. No card or trial clock. We will email you 30 days before the beta ends.
Questions
The ones we hear most. Anything else, email us.
Is it really free?
Yes. You can use OpenHome Learning for free throughout the beta, with no card and no trial clock. We will email you at least 30 days before the beta ends. Families who join during the beta will be founding members and have a locked-in rate well below the public launch rate if they choose to continue. Nothing is charged without your choice.
What ages is it for?
Children 6 to 13, working at Grades 1 to 8. You set the working grade per subject, so a child can be at Grade 2 for English and Grade 4 for math, and you can move it whenever you like.
What does it cover?
Short whiteboard lessons teach each new idea first: math and English in Grades 1 to 8 today, with more on the way. Practice covers math: place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, money, time, measurement, fractions, patterns, data and geometry. English: spelling, vocabulary, grammar and short reading passages with questions. Optional extras: World Atlas, a times-tables game, and science for Grades 3 to 5.
Is it a full curriculum?
No. It is daily practice that marks itself, built to sit beside whatever you already use. Choose a working grade and skills to support what your child is learning at home or in school. Curriculum timing varies by province and state; this is supplemental practice, not a complete curriculum. Written explanations need parent review.
Does my child need an account?
No. One parent account, by email. Children have no login, no password and no messages. Nobody can contact them through the app, and there are no ads or chat.
What do we need to run it?
Any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Once you are signed in, tap Install app in the top bar: it goes on the home screen and opens full screen, with no address bar. On an iPhone or iPad that button shows you Safari's own two taps for the same thing. Nothing is downloaded, and when you want paper, print the lesson.
Canada and the United States?
Both. You pick the country for each child, and the money and measurement questions use the right coins and units.
We do not ask for a province or state. Sequences differ by a year here and there, and picking your province from a list would suggest we follow it exactly, which no daily practice tool honestly can. Instead you set the working grade for each subject and choose which topics today covers. That is finer control than a dropdown, and you can change it any day.
Groups, co-ops and business
