Everything your child gets with Scholar Ridge
A patient AI tutor, a full K–6 curriculum aligned to your state, accessibility built for every learner, and the tools for you to follow it all — in one membership, no premium tier.
Sage — your child's own Socratic tutor
A patient teacher for every lesson, built specifically for K–6 — and your child decides what it looks like and what it's called.
Your child makes Sage theirs
Sage is where every student starts — then they choose its avatar from 50, pick a frame, and give it a name. Whatever they name it is what it answers to in every lesson. The look and the name are theirs; the teaching is identical for every child.
I Do · We Do · You Do
Gradual release of responsibility — the method real teachers use (Pearson & Gallagher). Sage models the first step out loud, guides your child through the next, then hands them the final step so they reach the answer themselves.
Harvard Project Zero methods
Layered on top: Teaching for Understanding and Visible Thinking routines from Harvard's Project Zero. Sage asks “what makes you say that?”, has your child show their reasoning, and names the thinking move they used — because understanding is being able to USE an idea, not recall it.
Teaches, never tells
Sage gives hints and asks guiding questions so your child actually learns the concept. It will not state the final answer — not if they ask, beg, or claim a grown-up said it was fine.
Adaptive, one-on-one
Shows the youngest kids worked examples and reads aloud; coaches older kids to reason it out. It reads each child's real progress — mastered skills, benchmark level, streak — and calibrates pace and vocabulary to them.
Mistake-aware
It diagnoses the real misconception behind a wrong answer — e.g. “looks like you added instead of multiplied” — instead of just marking it wrong.
School topics only
Sage teaches the unit your child is in and nothing else. No vulgar language, no sex, drugs, music, celebrities, TV, games or brands — off-syllabus questions get a warm redirect back to the lesson. Health and maturity topics stay locked until you opt that child in.
A full curriculum, K–6
A whole day of school, every subject, aligned to your state's standards.
Nine subjects
The core four — Reading & Writing, Math, Science, Social Studies — plus Art, Music, Health & PE, Technology, and Social-Emotional Learning, with dozens of lessons per unit.
Standards-aligned
Core subjects are built on Common Core (ELA & Math) and NGSS (Science), then mapped to your state's K–6 standards. The specials follow the national frameworks as a scope guide.
Placement that keeps adjusting
A short, friendly placement test per subject sets where your child really is — it returns a percentile and grade-equivalent, and credits the skills they already own so they never re-sit work they can do. It is not a gate: you can start learning immediately and take it whenever you like. From there the adaptive engine keeps reading real work — what they ace, where they need hints, what they miss and why — so a child ahead in reading and behind in math is treated that way, subject by subject. A strict grade ceiling means a 5-year-old never faces a 6th-grade question.
Unlimited fresh practice
“Show me another” generates new practice problems on demand, so a child can master a skill without ever running out of questions.
Built for every learner
Accessibility isn't an add-on — it's woven through every lesson.
Read-aloud with highlighting
A natural voice can read every slide, question, and tutor reply out loud, highlighting each word as it goes — a huge help for early, struggling, and pre-readers.
Authentic phoneme audio
For K–2 reading, every letter sound plays as a REAL recorded speech sound — tap /s/, /u/, /n/ and hear them blend into “sun,” exactly how the best phonics programs teach.
Dyslexia-friendly reading
An easy-reading font, larger text, and adjustable spacing make text easier to decode for kids with dyslexia.
High-contrast & reduce-motion
High-contrast mode, reduced motion, and a sound-effects mute keep the experience comfortable for light-sensitive and sensory-sensitive learners.
Learning Support presets
Disability-aware accommodations (a 504/IEP complement) that a parent turns on per child — so the lesson itself adapts to how your child learns best.
Motivation that actually works
Kids come back because learning is the game.
XP, levels & achievements
Great work earns XP across 250 levels and 100+ achievements — steady, visible progress that keeps kids going.
A reward shop they love
Kids spend earned XP on avatars, animated frames, themes, live wallpapers, and sound packs — never real money.
Power-ups & celebrations
XP also buys fun power-ups like a Streak Freeze or an Extra Hint Pack, plus confetti celebrations that make acing a lesson feel like a win.
For parents
See everything, control everything — from one PIN-locked area.
Parent dashboard
Follow every child in one place: skills mastered, lessons done, streaks, and per-subject grade level — the way a school report shows it.
See the actual answers
Review each child's quiz and test results with the questions and the correct answers revealed — so you know exactly what they've got and what needs work.
Weekly progress reports
A downloadable report card is generated for each child every week — lessons, accuracy, subjects — building into a record you can revisit and share anytime.
Schedules on your calendar
Build an optional learning schedule per student and export it to Google, Apple, or Outlook so the whole family stays on track.
Controls that fit your house
Switch the AI tutor on or off, lock courses to a child's grade, and gate sensitive health & maturity topics — all behind a parent PIN.
Safe & private by design
Built for children, with parents in control.
Parent-managed accounts
Children never sign up or log in alone — you create and control each child's profile. Safer, and simpler.
COPPA & FERPA-minded
Verifiable adult consent, data minimization, and parental controls are baked in. We only collect what's needed to run lessons and show progress.
We never sell kids' data
No advertisers, ever. Lesson generation uses only the topic, grade, and standards — never a child's personal information.
