The whole setup

1. Create a free learner

One grown-up account can hold every child in the house. It takes an email and a password — nothing else, no payment, ever.

2. Pick the grade

Choose the grade your child is in. The Academy loads that grade's subjects, reading level, and lesson length automatically.

3. Finish one lesson

Every lesson is short: a teach section, guided practice, then a quick mastery check. Finishing one earns XP and LDK Coins right away.

Questions families ask first

Is it really free?: Yes. Every lesson, game, badge, and report is free with no ads and nothing to buy. Da VIP is a nonprofit program funded by donations.
Do I need to be a teacher to help?: No. The Parent & Guardian Center gives you the exact questions to ask and 10-minute at-home activities by grade band.
What if my child gets stuck?: Professor Hak, your Academy teacher, is on every Academy page. He explains the lesson at your child's reading level instead of just giving answers.
Does it work without good internet?: Yes. Install it on the phone, open lessons once, and they stay available offline. Progress syncs when the connection comes back.

Ready? It costs nothing.
