Most apps get a student through this week's quiz — then the knowledge fades. CubbyEd is one teacher- and parent-controlled platform — every grade, every subject, the great books, nine games, and SAT/ACT prep — built so students actually learn the material and still know it years later. For every family, school, and district. Every AI-generated item passes an automated fact-check and can be reviewed by an adult before a child sees it.
Families juggle 7+ apps. The ed-tech landscape has fragmented into thousands of disconnected tools — and most of them are transactional: a student passes the quiz of the week and forgets it. That's how a kid reaches high school having lost the algebra they "learned" in grade school.
CubbyEd is one app. Every subject, every grade, one login — and instruction engineered so students actually retain what they learn, year over year.
Built for students, families, teachers, and schools alike, by people who care about actual learning — not engagement metrics, ad revenue, or a test score that's forgotten by summer.
The reason a student forgets grade-school algebra by high school is that most apps reward passing this week's quiz, not remembering. CubbyEd gates each new skill on real mastery, brings skills back on a spaced-review schedule before they fade, and asks students to produce answers, not just recognize them. A wrong answer re-teaches — it never drags earned progress backward.
Built for RetentionFull lesson plans, assessments, and reading lists for every grade and subject — grounded in the classical trivium and the great books. Search all of it by person, event, skill, term, or phrase from any browser, and see how far each student exceeds grade level, not just whether they passed.
Every Grade & SubjectCubbyEd builds the skeleton; teachers and parents add the soul. Edit any lesson, adjust depth, change the rubric, and keep final say on every grade. Every AI-generated item passes an automated fact-check, and an adult can review, approve, or reject each one before a child sees it.
Teacher & Parent ControlHomer, Plato, Shakespeare, Euclid, Cicero, Marcus Aurelius, the U.S. Constitution, Pride and Prejudice — every great work in one searchable library, free. Built-in reader with bookmarks, page notes, read-aloud, and class-shared annotations that turn solo reading into seminar prep.
Always FreeTen focused minutes a day from 7th grade. The practice adapts to each student's weakest skills, matches question difficulty to what they're ready for, tracks section-by-section readiness, and builds genuine content mastery — not test-day tricks. No separate course, no extra cost.
Saves $2,000+Quiz Blitz, Etymology Detective, Sentence Surgery, Logic Maze, Reading Sprint, Math Bingo, Flashcard Race, Word Duel and more — tuned to the classical curriculum. Students build their own study decks, scheduled by an SM-2 spaced-repetition engine that beats flashcard apps on retention per minute.
Practice That SticksClassroom teacher, subject-area, special education, instructional coach, administrator, or homeschool and co-op — pick the grade bands you serve and the workspace fits. Keep the classical spine, then map skills to Common Core, NGSS, C3, or your own district or diocesan benchmarks and see coverage gaps.
Every Teaching RoleBarcode check-in and checkout, inventory scans, loan periods, overdue queues, catalog search, and circulation counts, with Follett Destiny CSV import and export. Plus reader advisory — start with a book a student loves and find thoughtful read-alikes — book talks, clubs, and genre passports.
Library OperationsA four-year grades 9–12 sequence built on primary sources, sourcing, corroboration, DBQs, evidence seminars, and civic media literacy — with a dedicated defense of the American founding, constitutional republicanism, ordered liberty, and free enterprise, and a rigorous primary-source study of totalitarian regimes.
Document LabsStudents work with adults their school or family has already approved. Measurable goals, evidence, reflections, and structured check-ins stay visible to the mentor circle — with no public marketplace, no stranger matching, and no disappearing messages.
School & Family ControlledFull K–12 catechesis (Catechism + Scripture), Church Fathers in every grade band, Holy Land and Old Testament maps and facts, and grade-appropriate apologetics. Licensed per family, school, or whole diocese — and never shown to anyone who hasn't chosen it.
Diocese · School · FamilyFERPA-, COPPA-, and ADA-aligned. Default-deny database rules, no student-to-student messaging, no advertising, no behavioral tracking. Every submission is checked for authenticity so students learn that character outweighs the grade. Read the security policy →
Engineered for TrustWord Wise glosses hard words inline, at a density the reader sets. X-Ray indexes every person, place, and term with a jump-to-every-mention list. Tap a word and Vocabulary Builder saves it — anchored to the passage it came from — as a spaced-repetition card. Plus time-to-read estimates, reading insights, and page-flip preview. All offline, all hand-curated.
In Every BookA companion to the History Cards binder. Each postcard is a short first-person letter written to the student from someone living in a real place and moment — the Silk Road, the Seven Wonders, the Age of Exploration. Students travel a themed journey, tap highlighted terms for an X-Ray note, and answer one comprehension beat so each postcard actually teaches. Original, historically grounded writing.
Collectible JourneysA full penmanship track: pencil grip and posture in kindergarten, every printed letter and numeral by grade 2, then a dedicated grade-3 cursive course. Textbook-quality lessons with stroke-order guidance, common-mistake checks, and short daily practice paths that build a steady hand.
K–3 PenmanshipKids quiz their parents with real questions from the grade's lessons — pick a grade band, deal twelve cards, keep score at the dinner table. Teaching the material is how a student cements it, so the game reinforces the child's own learning. Works fully offline, with no linked account required.
Family Co-LearningCubbyEd partners with Govometer for civics and government education. When students reach those subjects, CubbyEd seamlessly hands off to the best civics app available — no gaps, no overlap, no extra logins.
Teachers are bringing AI assistants like Anthropic's Claude for Teachers into the classroom. CubbyEd is the piece those assistants are missing: a complete, vetted, classical curriculum — with the great books, Latin, and honest mastery tracking — that a general model doesn't ship with.
A general assistant plans and drafts. CubbyEd brings the sequenced trivium, the great-books library, and the per-student mastery graph it can't invent on the fly. Use both — the assistant for the moment, CubbyEd for the curriculum.
Better TogetherModels know facts; they don't ship a coherent K–12 classical scope-and-sequence. CubbyEd is that scope — grammar, logic, rhetoric, Latin, and great books — that an adult can review and approve before any child sees it.
Vetted & SequencedCubbyEd never exposes a child's curriculum, mastery, or grades to any model or crawler. The AI works for the teacher, on their own class — never on an open endpoint. Privacy is the product.
Private by DesignCubbyEd publishes an open Model Context Protocol connector that adds its classical curriculum — courses, lesson outlines, trivium-stage pedagogy, great-books tie-ins — to Claude, Claude Code, or any MCP client. It runs locally today; a one-click hosted version is in development. Curriculum scope only — student, class, and mastery data never cross it.
Developer PreviewMost families spend $1,500–$3,000 on outside SAT/ACT prep — on top of everything else. CubbyEd delivers that prep inside the app, already included, starting as early as 7th grade.
A gentle daily prompt starting in Grade 7. No pressure, no marathon study sessions — just consistent, compound practice that adds up to hundreds of hours by test day.
Process of elimination. Comma splice rules. Plug-in-numbers for algebra. Evidence-based reading. Every proven technique, taught gradually so it becomes second nature.
Toggle between SAT and ACT prep. Reading, Writing & Grammar, Math — and ACT Science reasoning. Students know both tests before choosing which one to take.
Parents and students see exactly where they stand: Reading 68%, Grammar 77%, Math 61%. Clear, honest scores — not a vague "you're on track" non-answer.
We don't teach tricks at the expense of understanding. By building real grammar, vocabulary, reading, and math skills over years, the SAT score follows naturally.
The 7-day streak, the daily session card, the encouraging end screen — everything is designed to make 10 minutes feel like a small win, not a chore.
The trivium has produced the greatest thinkers in Western history. CubbyEd brings it back — for every student, at every level.

Any student, any grade. Public, charter, private, and parochial schools; homeschool families and co-ops; tutoring centers and after-school programs; and any parent who wants more for their child. You don't have to be a classical school to use it — the classical curriculum is simply how CubbyEd delivers a complete education.
Public, charter, private, or parochial — replace a stack of disconnected tools with one classical platform, school-owned rosters, and school-wide mastery reporting. Catholic dioceses can add the optional Religion Pack with one license across every parish school.
A complete classical education in your child's hands. No expensive curriculum boxes, no tutor fees. Everything from Kindergarten through 12th grade, always current.
Whether your child is in public school and needs more, or you're running a tutoring center, CubbyEd gives personalized 1:1 instruction, progress you can actually see, and the confidence that comes from real mastery.
Run the daily library workflow, help every reader find a next book, and make information literacy visible across the school—without replacing your authoritative catalog.
Most education apps ignore the Faith. A few bolt on a prayer card. CubbyEd built a full optional K–12 Catholic Religion Pack — catechesis plus the depths almost no parish-school software offers — and made it license-gated so only families, schools, or dioceses who choose it ever see it.
Grade-by-grade religion courses guided by the Catechism of the Catholic Church (paragraph citations) and short public-domain Scripture (Douay-Rheims tradition). Original teaching prose — not a dump of copyrighted Mass lectionary text.
Ignatius, Polycarp, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Athanasius, the Cappadocians, Chrysostom, Augustine, Jerome, Leo — introduced with stories in the early grades and primary-source tradition in high school. The same Fathers Catholic colleges teach, made age-fit.
Fun, concrete historical geography: Bethlehem and Nazareth, Galilee’s lake, Exodus and Exile routes, Herod’s Judea, Paul’s journeys. Students see that salvation history happened in real dirt, water, and roads — not a cartoon void.
From “God made real things” in kindergarten to Resurrection case-building and Catholic distinctives in senior year. Always 1 Peter 3:15: a reason for hope with gentleness and respect. Practice dialogues, not culture-war scripts.
A superintendent can license every Catholic school in the diocese. A principal can buy for one parish school. Homeschool Catholic families turn the pack on at home for free. Same content spine; fair volume pricing.
The browser app supports Chromebook screens, keyboard navigation, Google redirect sign-in, and installable PWA use. Religion appears only when the pack is active. Each school completes a managed-device pilot before school-wide rollout because district filters and Google Workspace policies vary.
Classical academics and Fathers and Holy Land geography and apologetics training — sequenced K–12, adult-gated, diocese-licensable. Talk to us about a diocese or school pilot →
Core education is free for every family and student — public-school, homeschool, or anywhere in between. Family Plus adds high-capacity AI for heavy users. Schools and districts license the managed accounts, reporting, controls, and support required to run one coherent academic program.
A school is not buying bulk access to free lessons. It is licensing the institution-owned infrastructure needed to deploy CubbyEd consistently, protect student data, coordinate classrooms, and measure results across the school.
Hundreds of personal accounts cannot answer “How is seventh-grade math performing across our school?” A school license can.
When you read about an education platform getting hacked, the cause is almost always the same: one big database, one over-privileged admin, no real per-user rules. CubbyEd was built without any of that. It's not a marketing claim — it's the architecture.
Every record in our database has explicit, server-enforced rules: students can read only their own work, teachers only their class, AI-generated content is server-write only. Adding a new collection requires adding a rule — the safest failure mode.
TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, HSTS preload. No mixed content. No HTTP fallback. Our hosting refuses to load over an insecure connection.
We don't sell student data — and structurally we couldn't, because we don't collect the kind of behavioral profile ad networks buy. No advertising IDs. No FLoC. No third-party analytics on child-facing surfaces.
Zero peer DMs by design — bullying has no vector. All class communication is teacher-mediated. Annotations are visible only to the class teacher and the author.
Consumer payments go directly to Stripe on the web, Apple In-App Purchase on iOS, or Google Play Billing on Android when a paid feature is offered there. CubbyEd servers never see, log, or store a card number, CVC, or expiration. Webhooks are cryptographically signature-verified.
Parental consent for under-13. Schools remain the data controller for the records they upload — we operate strictly as a service provider. WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility throughout: screen readers, high contrast, large tap targets.

Straight answers about classical education, homeschooling, and how CubbyEd fits the AI classroom.
CubbyEd is a classical education app for K–12 that consolidates the full trivium — grammar, logic, and rhetoric stages — plus a great-books library, Latin, math, and SAT/ACT prep into one teacher- and parent-controlled platform. Every lesson is shaped by an educator, and progress is tracked to real mastery, not just test-passing.
Yes. CubbyEd is built around the classical trivium (grammar K–5, logic 6–8, rhetoric 9–12) and includes a free great-books reader — Homer, Plato, Euclid, Shakespeare, the U.S. founding documents and more — with class annotations, spaced-repetition study, and mastery tracking for homeschool families and classical schools.
CubbyEd combines the rigor of IXL, the study tools of Quizlet, and the breadth of Khan Academy with a classical soul those apps lack: the great books, Latin, logic, character formation, and honest mastery tracking — in one app that replaces the 7+ tools most families juggle.
Yes. CubbyEd is designed for the AI-assisted classroom and complements assistants such as Anthropic's Claude for Teachers — which plan and draft in the moment — by supplying the durable classical curriculum, the great-books content, and the per-student mastery graph a general model doesn't ship with. CubbyEd also publishes an open Model Context Protocol connector that adds its classical curriculum — courses, lesson outlines, trivium-stage pedagogy — to Claude or any MCP client today; it runs locally now, with a hosted one-click version in development. The connector is curriculum scope only: student, class, and mastery data stay on CubbyEd's private, authenticated surfaces and never cross it.
You can use either — and the CubbyEd connector lets Claude read our classical curriculum directly. Socrates is different because it works inside your class: it already knows your roster size, your saved lessons, and your current assignments, so it skips setup questions and ties each suggestion to what your students are actually doing. Anything it drafts saves to My Class, becomes an assignment, a slide deck, or a printable PDF without leaving CubbyEd — and your students' names, work, and grades are never sent to a consumer chatbot.
Yes — Latin rooted in the classical tradition, formal logic in the middle-grade stage, rhetoric and Socratic seminar prep in high school, plus optional faith-based modules. It is a complete classical curriculum, not a single-subject drill app.
CubbyEd is FERPA- and COPPA-aligned and ADA-accessible, with default-deny data rules, no student-to-student messaging, no advertising, and no behavioral tracking. Student, class, and grade data is private by design and is never exposed to a public API or an AI crawler.
CubbyEd Free includes core K–12 learning, SAT/ACT prep, the great-books library, games, mastery tracking, parent progress, the Catholic Religion Pack, and a monthly AI allowance. Family Cubby Plus is optional at $9.99/month or $79.99/year for much higher AI capacity and priority support. Schools license institution-managed deployment at $12 per student per year with a $750 annual minimum. District and diocese pricing is custom.
Families receive the core learning experience for free. A school license pays for the institutional operating layer: school-owned accounts, connected class rosters, administrator controls, school-wide gradebook and mastery reporting, predictable classroom AI capacity, implementation support, invoicing, and a signed data-privacy agreement. Separate family accounts do not give a school coordinated deployment, governance, or school-wide accountability.
CubbyEd includes a Librarian Desk for barcode check-in and checkout, inventory scans, loan periods, overdue and copy-status tracking, catalog search, circulation counts, collection-review workflows, reader advisory, research and AI-literacy instruction, accessible-format planning, and reading programs. It accepts and exports common Follett Destiny CSV fields for reconciliation; this is CSV interchange, not a claimed live Follett API connection. Staff can use the bookmarkable librarian web entrance →
CubbyEd uses a layered model rather than pretending every state has one identical standard. Its classical curriculum is the instructional spine. Core math and English-language-arts skills are mapped to Common Core, science skills to NGSS, and history and civics inquiry to the C3 Framework. A school can then add its current state, district, diocesan, or archdiocesan requirements in the Benchmark Crosswalk. Each framework keeps its source and version; computer-suggested matches require educator review. CubbyEd is designed for 1EdTech CASE-compatible interchange; this is not a claim of CASE certification or that every state overlay ships preloaded.
Yes. The Benchmark Crosswalk connects district, school, diocesan, or archdiocesan benchmarks to standards and saved lesson plans. Teachers can see suggested coverage, review each alignment, identify gaps, and decide what to teach next without maintaining another disconnected spreadsheet.
Mentorship is school- and family-controlled: students work only with teachers, parents, librarians, counselors, coaches, or other adults already approved through the school or family. The workspace records measurable goals, evidence, reflections, and structured check-ins. There is no public mentor marketplace, stranger matching, or disappearing private messaging.
CubbyEd includes a four-year grades 9–12 history sequence: ancient-to-early-modern world history, modern world history, U.S. history, and senior civics, government, and historical research. A dedicated senior course makes the affirmative case for natural rights, the Declaration, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, constitutional republicanism, ordered liberty, private property, and free enterprise. Students also examine socialist and communist theory against the documented record of collectivization, one-party government, censorship, forced labor, famine, persecution, and political terror—while distinguishing different ideologies and supporting conclusions with primary sources.
Yes — CubbyEd’s optional Catholic Religion Pack is built for parish schools and dioceses: full K–12 catechesis (Catechism + Scripture), Church Fathers in every grade band, fun historical maps and facts of Old Testament lands and the world of Jesus, and grade-appropriate apologetics so students can give a reason for their hope with gentleness. Superintendents can license a whole diocese; principals can buy one school; families can turn the pack on at home for free. The classical academic app works on Chromebooks either way — religion only appears when the pack is active. See the Catholic Schools section →
