We’ve chosen to offer the main features of Atom School to schools for free as part of our mission to democratise education. This is only possible through the funding we receive from Atom Home subscriptions.
Atom began with Atom Home, our home learning platform that is a cost-effective alternative to private tuition. Today, it is used by tens of thousands of parents to boost their child’s academic performance, not just across the core subjects, but for that all important exam prep too.
As more and more families took advantage of Atom Home, we had schools coming to us who had heard great things from their families, had seen big jumps in attainment of the children using the platform, and were curious as to whether we had anything for schools. From these conversations, Atom School was built.
Unlike other platforms that charge thousands of pounds a year for their subscriptions, we decided early on that Atom School should be free for schools. Thanks to the support of teachers and parents it has remained free for 5 years.
We have been able to keep this commitment because teachers and parents up and down the country recommend their parents and friends towards Atom Home, our more advanced platform, as the solution for their exam preparation needs. The platform complements and extends the work you do in school and allows families a more detailed insight into a child's strengths and areas for development.
It is thanks to these recommendations and the Atom Home subscriptions that we are able to keep Atom School free for teachers and schools across the world.
