“With the Academy, I could give each of my students homework matched to their level. And on top of that, the exercises are genuinely fun: they loved them!”
By the team behind the English contest taken by 500,000 students across Europe every year.
Curriculum-aligned resources, from homework to the materials you use in class. Less time searching, more time for your students.
One resource, several levels. Every student gets exercises within their reach, from support to stretch: nobody drops off, nobody gets bored.
Authentic videos, podcasts, escape games, quizzes… resources designed with you and your students in mind, high-quality and relevant. Your students want to come back.
Timed lesson plan, CEFR objectives, marking grids, annotated answer keys. Everything you usually prepare yourself: already there.
I’ve tried quite a few platforms and I always ended up redoing everything myself: rough exercises, poorly calibrated levels. Here, nothing to tweak. You can tell it’s written by English teachers: the instructions are clean, the documents are authentic, and the printable sheet is identical to the screen version. I set a quiz on Monday, it’s marked before my class leaves the room.
My students already knew The Big Challenge thanks to the contest, so I had no one to convince. What surprised me is that they go back on their own: series to unlock, challenges between classes… Students who never handed anything in now ask me when I’m opening the next lesson. In fifteen years, I’d never seen that in English.
Every week we get ads for “AI” tools with interchangeable content. The Academy is the opposite: real editorial work, cultural themes that carry a whole sequence (Roman Britain went down very well with my class) and 25 years of craft you can feel in the details. My management approved the licence in a single meeting: one price for the whole school, one purchase order.
