Online learning for kindergarten to grade 5 in Nunavut

Children in Nunavut learn under Alberta’s curriculum, adapted through Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit principles, set by the Nunavut Department of Education. Daily Academy is skills-based rather than built to that document — it is not an approved NU resource — but its 77 tracked skills cover what kindergarten to grade 5 are expected to know, and it reports on each of them separately.

How the curriculum works in Nunavut

Education in Canada is a provincial responsibility, so there is no national curriculum. Nunavut sets its own through the Nunavut Department of Education, under Alberta’s curriculum, adapted through Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit principles.

Nunavut’s curriculum is grounded in Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit and in Inuktut-language instruction in the early grades. Daily Academy is English-only and covers none of that — treat it as extra practice in English math and reading, not as a substitute for the local programme.

Curriculum details checked 2026-08-24. Provinces revise their documents on their own schedules — the Nunavut Department of Education publishes the current version, and it is the authority, not this page.

If your child has a diagnosed learning difficulty, or is well behind and not catching up, the right next step is the school or a tutor rather than any app — this page sets out how to tell which situation you are in.

Questions from parents in Nunavut

Is Daily Academy aligned to the Nunavut curriculum?

No — and no honest program should claim to be without provincial approval. Daily Academy is skills-based: it tracks 77 skills that cover what Nunavut expects in kindergarten to grade 5 for math and reading, but it is not an approved resource of the Nunavut Department of Education and is not built to that curriculum document. Use it as practice alongside school, not as a replacement for it.

How much does online tutoring cost in Nunavut?

Private one-to-one tutoring in Canada generally runs about $40–$80 an hour and learning centres about $150–$300 a month per child. Daily Academy's daily mission is free; the parent dashboard is $8.99 a month in Canadian dollars for every child in the home, with a 14-day trial before any card is needed.

Can my child use it alongside school in Nunavut?

That is what it is for. The daily mission is about twenty minutes and ends by itself, which is designed to sit after school without displacing homework, activities or going outside. Missing a day costs nothing but a streak.
