Studycat for Schools is your virtual classroom for young children aged 3 to 8, with real-time learner insights and Cambridge-aligned, teacher-created content to make remote learning fun and effective.
Our blended learning solution helps to connect schools, teachers, parents and students, even when preschools and schools are disrupted.
Future-proof English language learning solution.
With a digital classroom, student app, digital dashboard and access to worksheets, activity books, flashcards and student books, Studycat for Schools helps teachers and schools support their students whether they are at home or in the classroom.
Preschools and schools can monitor and manage teacher and class performance, while school groups can easily access data for management and reporting across multiple campuses.
Teachers can stay connected with their students, creating a virtual classroom, assigning homework and tracking the progress of each child. Work assigned to young learners is delivered seamlessly via the student app so that homework can be completed on the student’s own device.
Students complete language learning challenges on the app and real-time learning outcomes are shared with teachers via Studycat’s digital dashboard so that English language teachers can know exactly which children need more help, and which are doing just fine on their own.
Parents can monitor their child’s progress, the time they spend on the app and their learning outcomes at the click of a button. Additional free content that makes learning fun and engaging is available via the Studycat Club for parents who want to boost their child’s learning even further.
Made by teachers, for teachers
(with young learners in mind)
Studycat for Schools combines the best Cambridge-aligned language learning content and intelligent technology so that education doesn’t need to stop in times of crisis, and so that teachers can do what they love: teach.
To help young learners build a strong foundation, we use games, songs, quizzes and more to deliver scaffolded language education, meaning that kids actively enjoy learning, even during lockdown.

- Apple iPad 2 or better, iPhone 5 or better.
