Dad School is a calm little learn-then-play app: a short lesson first, then the game-y bit. Free math and spelling demos run in the browser with no account and no email. It is for families who want a bit of structure without turning the living room into a lecture hall. Built by a dad who needed something that worked on a phone between dinner and bedtime. Not a full curriculum — just small daily bites that are actually free to try.

What Dad School does

  • Eight elementary subjects: Covers Mathematics, Science, English Language Arts, Spelling, History & Social Studies, Computer Science, Russian, and Arts.
  • Interactive math practice: Children can tap, drag, and build with ten-frames, base-ten blocks, fraction bars, clocks, and other visual tools.
  • Audio spelling practice: Children look at a picture, hear the word, and tap out its letters, with every letter checked.
  • Tests and achievements: Children can take tests, unlock achievements, and earn gems through their learning progress.
  • Parent-approved rewards: Earned points can be exchanged for games or for watching videos selected and curated by parents.

Who it's for

Children in grades 1–5 learning at home, and parents managing their learning and rewards.
