A five-year AI pathway that fits the school you already run.
The curriculum is the same one every AI Ninjas learner follows. What this page is about is the part that is yours: how it lands in a timetable, who teaches it, and what you have to show for it at review.
What this solves for you
Fits the timetable you have
Two modules per academic year, in short lessons, starting in whichever year suits your system. No new block on the schedule, no dedicated period required.
Your existing staff can teach it
Every level ships with a mentor guide written for a teacher who is not a machine learning engineer. Training is included and certified.
Every level produces evidence
Students finish each level with a built artefact and a verifiable credential — progress is demonstrable at review, not asserted.
Delivery
How five levels become five school years.
Two modules per academic year, ending on a measurable outcome each time. Which school year you start in is yours to decide.
| Programme year | Level | Modules | Approx. hours | Student produces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | Level 1 — Building the Intuition | The Disciple · The Predictor | ~20 | First working AI programs in Python |
| Year 2 | Level 2 — Breaking the Fear of AI | Pattern Apprentice | ~10 | A first predictive model |
| Year 3 | Level 3 — Refined Intelligence | The Controller · The Architect | ~25 | A two-layer neural network |
| Year 4 | Level 4 — Precision & Efficiency | The Explorer · The Optimizer | ~22 | A three-layer network with propagation |
| Year 5 | Level 5 — AI Mastery | The AI Ninja | ~16 | Production model in Keras / TensorFlow |
The programme runs for five consecutive academic years; which school year it starts in is yours to decide. Schools in the US commonly begin around Grade 8, while schools in India and China often start as early as Grade 6, where students meet the underlying mathematics sooner. Year 5 is deliberately lighter — one module given a full year, because a capstone benefits from time rather than pace.
The levels, the eight modules, the projects and the credentials are documented in one place — the same page an individual learner reads. Forward it to your head of department as-is.
Assessment & reporting
Evidence, not assertion.
Every student record starts with a diagnostic, is checked at the end of every module and is marked against a published rubric at every level. The same record is what you see — at school, class or student level — and what a student sees about themselves.
Four points where a student is assessed
The Foundations Challenge
A diagnostic quiz every student takes before Module 1: AI fundamentals, how software works, and where the two differ. It produces a baseline per student and per cohort — so the growth you report later is measured against a real starting point, not a guess.
Mastery checks
A short, marked check at the close of each of the eight modules: a mix of concept questions and a small piece of working code. Scores land in Google Classroom automatically.
Rubric-marked artefact
Each level ends in something built — a first program, a predictive model, a network. It is marked by your teacher against our per-level rubric, with exemplar student work at each grade so marking is consistent between staff.
The capstone
A production model in Keras / TensorFlow with a written explanation of how it works and where it fails. Moderated by our team on request, and the basis of the final credential.
Good free curriculum exists. What it does not give you is a five-year sequence with assessment built in, verifiable student credentials, and a report you can hand to a governor without assembling it by hand.
Illustrative data. The same record, three zoom levels — school, class and one student.
Assessment & reporting
One record. Two ways of looking at it.
Every learner starts with a diagnostic, is checked at the end of every module and earns a verified credential at every level. Your students see their own growth. You see it across every student you teach — by school, by class, or one at a time. Same numbers, different lens.
record
Illustrative data. Student records are held on the school's terms: minimum data, no advertising, designed against IEEE 2089 for children's services. How we handle student data →
Reporting
Four moments you need a report for. Each one is a button.
Nobody in a school has time to assemble evidence by hand. These are the reports the dashboard produces, named for the occasion they are for.
Department review
Class-by-class progress against the scope and sequence, mastery-check distributions, and the students flagged for support — with what was done about it.
Parents' evening
One sheet per student: where they started, where they are, their last three checks and the artefact they built. Written so a parent with no AI background can read it in two minutes.
Inspection & accreditation
Curriculum intent, implementation and impact in one pack: the sequence, the assessment points, the rubrics, cohort baselines and outcomes over time, and how student data is handled.
Pilot summary
What one class did in one semester: baseline to outcome, completion, teacher time spent, and an honest note on what did not work. Take it to your head of department as-is.
How grades flow
Nothing to re-key. Nothing to reconcile.
Teachers keep working in Google Classroom. The programme feeds it, and the dashboard reads from the same place.
Your platform
What a school gets on top of the programme.
The curriculum is the same one every AI Ninjas learner follows. Everything on this page is the layer built around it for an institution — and none of it is available to someone working through the programme on their own.
Your school's branding on the platform
Students sign in to a landing page carrying your name, your crest and your colours — not a vendor's. To a student and a parent it reads as a programme your school runs, because it is.
Admin dashboard and progress reports
See where every student and every class has reached, module by module, measured against the Foundations baseline. Export it for a department review, a parents' evening or an inspection without assembling anything by hand. See the dashboard ↑
Class leaderboard
A live board showing how the class is moving through the levels. It runs on progress made rather than raw ability, so a student who started behind can still lead it.
Assessment in Google Classroom
Assessments integrate with Google Classroom, so work set and completed in the programme lands in the classroom your teachers already run. No second system for staff to keep up with.
Ranking named students in public is not right for every school, so the board is yours to control: run it across a class or the whole school, show first names or anonymous handles, or switch it off entirely. It is on by default at class level, because that is where it motivates rather than discourages.
Curriculum documentation
Every country plans its curriculum differently, so rather than claiming alignment to one national framework we publish the underlying detail and let you map it to yours. The scope and sequence sets out learning objectives, prerequisites, assessment points and produced artefacts for all eight modules.
It is a single PDF and it is not behind a form — the person who needs it is usually forwarding it to a colleague. Where you need help aligning it to a specific national or state framework, our team will do that mapping with you.

Student data
Children's data, handled the way a school would.
Every report on this page is built from student data, so the terms on which we hold it matter as much as the reports themselves. Under the school agreement the school stays the controller of its students' data and we act only on its instructions — the same footing as any other system in your building.
We designed the platform against the IEEE age-appropriate design standards for children's digital services, and we map our controls to the school-data rules of the countries we operate in. The full policy, the data we collect and why, and our standards mapping are on one page — written to be forwarded to your data protection lead.
Questions departments ask
Do we need specialist staff?
No. The mentor guides are written so a teacher with no AI background can deliver a session, and training is included.
What if it doesn't suit our timetable?
Run the free pilot with one class for one semester. You will know by half term, and it will have cost nothing.
Isn't AI curriculum available free?
Good free curriculum exists. What it does not include is teacher training, a five-year sequence with assessment, verifiable student credentials, or someone to call in November.
Which year should we start in?
Anywhere from roughly age 11. Schools in the US typically begin in Grade 8; schools in India, China and elsewhere often start in Grade 6. The five programme years then run consecutively to graduation.
Is it the same course you sell to individuals?
The curriculum is identical — deliberately. What a school buys on top is everything around it: your branding on the platform, an admin dashboard and reports, a class leaderboard, Google Classroom integration, teacher training, mentor guides, assessment rubrics and an assigned support team.
How do we get started?
With one class, for one semester, at no cost and with no purchase order.
What happens to our students' data?
The school stays the controller; we process on its instructions under a signed agreement, collect the minimum, never advertise, and erase within 90 days of leaving. The platform is designed against IEEE 2089 for children's services. The full policy is one page.
How is progress measured?
A 30-minute Foundations Challenge sets each student's baseline; a marked mastery check ends every module; a rubric-graded artefact ends every level. All of it syncs to Google Classroom and rolls up into the school dashboard.
