The next lesson is already planned.

No. You choose the subjects and the days, and any lesson can be moved or skipped. A lesson takes about 30 minutes, mornings are usually done by lunch, and the afternoon activity happens away from the screen.

You choose, lesson by lesson. Set the dial to “I’ll teach it” and you lead. Set it to “Atlas teaches” and he takes the lesson while you stay close by. Either way he plans, paces and remembers. He never just gives answers; he asks your child to think it through.

Yes. You don’t need a teaching qualification to home educate, and you don’t have to plan a thing. The week is laid out for you, each lesson gives you the words to say, slide by slide, and Atlas can take a lesson when you need a hand.

No, and they don’t have to use one at all. Set the dial to “I’ll teach it”, read the slides and the script yourself, and teach at the kitchen table. Print the worksheet where a lesson has one, then tick the lesson off when you’re done. If you do use the screen, a lesson is about 30 minutes and ends with something away from it: drawing, building, hunting for textures in the garden.

Oak’s lessons are free and they’re brilliant, and we say so on every one. You pay for everything around them: the year laid out in order, a week that rearranges itself when life happens, a record that writes itself, and Atlas. The free week lets you see if that’s worth it to you.

Yes, year by year, with 4,832 lessons across 14 subjects. Home educators don’t have to follow it, so untick anything you’d rather cover your own way and the plan adapts around it.

Yes. You decide what goes in the plan, and any subject can come out. Islamic RE is there for families who want it, and it stays off until you switch it on.

Nothing breaks. There’s no schedule to fail. Type “we’re away Thursday” and the week moves, switch to a half-speed week, or skip a lesson and come back to it.

Yes, across the UK. The duty to give your child a suitable education stays yours, and StudyDen doesn’t change that. Our free guide walks you through deregistering from school in England, step by step, with no account needed. A national register of home-educated children was passed in the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026, and it isn’t in force yet.

From us, only what you choose to send. We report to nobody on your behalf. If they do ask, the report and the Sunday letter turn your child’s real work into something you can send in one tap, instead of a weekend of admin.

StudyDen covers Years 1–6 today. Your child’s record is yours to download at any time, so it travels with you whatever comes next.

Not on a new account. You add a card at checkout and nothing is taken for 7 days. Cancel inside the app before then and you pay nothing, with no phone call. Otherwise it renews at £29.99 a month for the whole family, or £299.88 a year, until you cancel. Need a break later? A monthly plan can pause for a month or two.

No. Set the dial to “I’ll teach it” and you lead the lesson with a script, while Atlas stays quiet unless you tap Ask Atlas. He never teaches French or Islamic RE. He does still write the notes you see about your week.

You stay in charge. You decide whether Atlas teaches, how long a session runs and which notes he keeps. He is built for Years 1 to 6 and talks at your child’s level. He is told never to ask for surnames, addresses, schools or phone numbers. If a child seems upset, he sends them to a grown-up. A child talking to Atlas out loud should have a grown-up nearby.

Only what helps him teach: first name, school year, finished lessons, how they answered the questions, and short notes, like what they enjoy and find tricky. We never ask for your child’s surname, address or school. You can read every note.

Yes. Every note is listed in his memory room. You can edit one, delete one or clear the lot. Once you delete a note, he stops using it and cannot learn it again. Deleting your account removes the notes, conversations and recordings too.

Yes, in his memory room. Typed conversations show both sides. Spoken ones show Atlas’s side. What your child says out loud is turned into text for a moment, so Atlas can follow it and so we can tell you if something needs a grown-up. We do not keep it. You can read them until you delete the account.

No. It is off until someone taps the talk button. It closes on the next tap, or by itself after 45 seconds. There is no wake word, nothing records in the background, and Atlas never uses the camera. We ask you before it is switched on the first time, and typing always works instead. We only keep a recording if your child explains a lesson back and chooses to save it.

No. Your child’s work, recordings and conversations do not train any AI, ours or anyone else’s. The AI companies we use are held to that by contract or by account setting, and the privacy page names each one.

Never. No advertiser, data broker or analytics company gets your child’s work. Our database is in London. To work, Atlas uses a few specialist AI companies in the US, with UK data-protection safeguards in place. The privacy page names every company and what each one receives.

He is set up to teach young children, and he cannot search the internet. Typed messages are screened for swearing, sexual content, drugs and questions about hurting people before he sees them. When he talks out loud, he follows his child-safe instructions, with you close by. If you ever hear anything you don’t like, email support@studyden.co.uk and a person will read it.

He stops and asks them to go and tell a grown-up they trust, because that conversation belongs with a person. He does not counsel them or ask follow-up questions. We also look for phrases that suggest harm and put a notice in your app, without quoting your child. That check cannot catch everything, so please stay close by.

He can, like any AI, so the facts do not rest on him alone. The lesson slides are written in advance and the screen marks the questions. If something he says sounds off, you are there to catch it, and you can tell us.

Atlas asks before he tells. In a lesson he is not given the answers to the questions, so he cannot hand them over. He only says one after a second miss, when the screen gives it to him. Children also explain lessons back in their own words.

We built him to teach, with you in the picture. He is openly an AI, and he jokes about having no hands and no eyes. Your child has no login of their own, gets no emails from us and has no streaks to keep up. You set how long a session can run, as low as 5 minutes.
