Currently we only work directly with schools and school districts, but we would love for you to share information about eSpark or Frontier with your child’s school administrators to see if our program could be a good fit for students in your community. If your child already uses our tools at school, speak with his or her teacher to see if he or she would recommend that your child work on their personalized curriculum at home.

Both. Our Learning Design team works very hard to minimize cost and include as many free and 'lite' versions of apps as possible. In some cases, that isn't an option (e.g. when a free app contains ads). Generally, about 20% of all apps in the eSpark curriculum are free. Additionally, many of the apps are part of Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP) which provides considerable cost-savings to districts. Frontier, our web-based tool, is built around free digital resources at no cost to districts.

To accurately experience the eSpark program, we need to work directly with real student data to configure the appropriate personalized profiles. While this prevents us from offering free trials, we invite you to request a demo.
