For educators

Writing they love. Coding they're proud to share.

Every student writes a story that matters to them, codes it to life, and shares it with the class — all while learning the subject you're teaching. No coding experience needed.

Real instruction

They think they're playing. It's a real lesson.

Every project is a standards-aligned lesson in disguise — ready to assign in any subject. The planning's done, and it self-checks. No grading pile.

Voice, choice & access

Show it their way.

Every student chooses how to tell it — and scaffolds, in any language, mean no one gets stuck. Five ways to show what they know:

📝Text
🎙️Voice
🖼️Images
🎵Music
🧩Code
🔊 Read aloud📝 Sentence frames🔤 Word banks🌐 Any language
A writing community

They create together — in their own voice.

Writing here is personal and social: students tell stories that matter to them, build right alongside classmates, and lift each other's work.

✍️

Their own voice

Personal stories, journaling, and reflections — students write from their own perspective and identity, building confidence and social-emotional skills.

🤝

Create together

Team up to write and code one project in real time, chatting as they build — no more "wait your turn."

💬

Peer review

Students read and comment on each other's projects — a real audience and a gentle feedback loop that makes them want to revise.

🎉 312 projects published by Ms. Rivera's classesShare it for real

Published — and proud.

Finished work goes up on a safe class showcase where classmates and family play — and kids read and cheer each other on. A real reason to revise, and a gentle first lesson in digital citizenship: share kindly, credit others. Every project carries its own analytics — plays, words written, and a map of where in the world its readers are.

While they build, you…

See every student. Support in the moment. Stay in control.

Kids work at their own pace — you get a live view of the class, give feedback at any step, and decide what's shared.

FAQ

Common questions from teachers.

Do my students need accounts or email addresses?
No emails required. Create student accounts directly, sync a Google Classroom roster with one click, or import from Clever/ClassLink. Students log in with a username.
Do I — or my students — need to know how to code?
No, on both counts. Elementari is writing at its core, with a layer of coding on top. The Studio Compass names the exact block for each step and checks itself off, so you facilitate while students build. Coding concepts are taught in the moment they're used — each one comes with built-in vocabulary support and a plain-language explanation right in the Studio.
Is Elementari COPPA and FERPA compliant?
Yes. Elementari is COPPA and FERPA compliant. Students never need an email, projects are private by default, and teachers control what's shared or published. See our privacy policy.
Can I keep student work private?
Yes — you stay in control. Published stories require teacher approval, and comments are private to the classroom and can be disabled entirely.
What devices does it work on?
Write and code on iPad, Chromebook, laptop, or desktop, and read on any device including mobile. No downloads or installs — just a modern web browser.
What does it cost?
Free to start with unlimited students — we never charge per student. Paid plans are priced per teacher; schools and districts are quote-based with free professional development included.
