Plio Academy
For K–12 Districts

K–12 AI Literacy Curriculum — Free for Public Schools

Plio Academy is a nonprofit delivering self-paced AI and technology education to students ages 5–17 — 128 lessons aligned to CSTA, ISTE, and CA AB-2876, COPPA & FERPA-compliant, and built on open standards to connect with district systems.

We serve families directly today. We're built to extend to schools and districts, and we're actively talking with educators about what that partnership should look like — this page is where to start that conversation.

What we can do for districts

Where Plio stands today on the things district teams ask about first — compliance, curriculum alignment, cost, and how it fits your existing software.

COPPA & FERPA Compliant

Built COPPA-first from day one. Children never create accounts — guardians manage everything. No third-party trackers on student-facing pages.

Standards-Aligned Curriculum

271 lessons across 17 STEM + AI subject tracks, bilingual (English/Spanish). 220 lessons carry draft standards mappings across NGSS (124), CSTA (54), Common Core Math (38), CEE Economics (15), AI4K12 (10), and Nature of Science (15) — 274 distinct standard codes. Crosswalk provided to support district curriculum evaluation; not a claim of accreditation.

Free for Public Schools

Plio Academy is a nonprofit. Public school districts access the platform at no cost. No per-seat licensing.

Built to Connect With Your Stack

Canvas and Google Classroom OAuth connections are live today. Plio is being built toward open education standards — OneRoster for rostering, LTI for LMS embedding, and SAML/OIDC for SSO — so it can slot in alongside Clever, ClassLink, Schoology, and the tools you already run. See the integration roadmap for exactly where each one stands.

Compliance Ready

Plio Academy ships with full compliance documentation for district IT and procurement teams: E-Rate eligibility statement, IL SOPPA, CA AB 1584, NY Ed Law 2-d, TX SB 820, WA OSPI state compliance table, FERPA school-official status, COPPA operator statement, and CIPA notes for your network filter team. Signed DPAs and state-specific addenda available on request. Standards crosswalk — 220 of our 271 lessons carry draft mappings across 6 frameworks (NGSS, CSTA, Common Core Math, CEE Economics, AI4K12, Nature of Science); mappings are in active review. Available on request.
