Daily Academy

Covering kindergarten to grade 5 today

Twenty minutes a day.Then you’ll know what the report card doesn’t.

One short expedition through four worlds makes your child stronger at maths, reading and reasoning. The parent view tells you in plain sentences what’s working, what isn’t, and what to do next — then hands the afternoon back.

No ads. No public profiles. Parent-controlled accounts.

How it works

One short adventure, every day

The same five stops each day, filled with new content chosen for where your child actually is.

  1. 2 min

    Warm up

    Two or three quick wins to get the brain moving.

  2. 5 min

    Math Mountain

    Numbers inside a story, with pictures to think with.

  3. 5 min

    Reading Forest

    An original story, then questions that go beyond recall.

  4. 4 min

    Brain Lab

    A logic puzzle that feels like a game, not a test.

  5. 4 min

    Discovery Space

    One genuinely interesting thing about the world.

What makes it work

Built around one learning loop

Assess, understand, plan, practise, measure, adjust. Everything else supports it.

Finds the right level first

A five-minute intake expedition places your child on a continuous scale — not in a year group. No score is ever shown to them.

Adapts skill by skill

Mastery is tracked for every individual skill, so strong addition never hides a wobble in fractions. Difficulty follows each one separately.

Short on purpose

Twenty focused minutes beats an hour of resistance. Nothing is compulsory, and missing a day never costs anything but a streak.

Progress you can see

A skill map, a six-week trajectory and a timeline of real milestones — where your child was, where they are, what comes next.

No word for 'wrong'

A miss gets a clue and another go, then an explanation. Effort earns XP too, so a hard day still ends well.

Private by design

First name only. No advertising, no public leaderboards, no child-visible analytics. The parent area sits behind a PIN.

Parent view

Data is easy. Meaning is the hard part.

Most apps tell you an accuracy percentage. That is not something you can act on. Daily Academy tells you what the number means and what to do next.

This week’s insight

Strong with the numbers, still decoding the stories

Maya handles multiplication well when it is presented as a calculation, but accuracy drops sharply once the same maths is wrapped inside a word problem. That gap is about reading the problem, not about the arithmetic.

Recommended focus

Multiplication word problems

At home, ask “what is this question actually asking you to find?” before any calculating starts.

Stop guessing how your child is doing.

Twenty minutes a day of real work, and an honest reading of what changed. Not about getting ahead of anyone — about a child who believes they can work something out, and a parent who can see it happening.

Common questions

What ages and grades is Daily Academy for?

Daily Academy is being built for K–12 and covers kindergarten to grade 5 today — roughly ages 4–11. A grade is added only once the activity library actually holds enough content to serve a child in it, so a grade that has practice pages here has real practice behind them. The full arc is set out on the curriculum page.

How long does a session take?

About twenty minutes across five stops: a warm-up, then math, reading, a logic puzzle and one short discovery reading. It ends by itself rather than inviting a child to keep going.

Is it free?

The daily mission is free and stays free — all four subjects, the intake assessment and the adaptive difficulty. The paid part is the parent dashboard, one family subscription in Canadian dollars covering every child in the home, with a 14-day trial before any card is needed.

Does it follow the Canadian curriculum?

Canada has no national curriculum, and Daily Academy is skills-based rather than built to any one province’s document. It is not an approved provincial resource anywhere. Its tracked skills cover what every province expects in kindergarten to grade 5 for math and reading.

Is my child’s data private?

First name only. No advertising, no public leaderboards, no profiles visible outside the family, and no analytics shown to the child. The parent area sits behind a PIN.
