Year 7 · Between schools

School that fits in a suitcase.

Seventeen weeks of maths, English and science for children between one school and the next. It works on a plane with the wifi off — and it hands the next school a record of everything your child actually did.

No sign-up, nothing to pay. On a phone, use the browser's share menu to add it to the home screen — it then opens full screen with its own icon and works with no connection. Once sharing is switched on, a parent can read the week from their own phone with the family code and PIN.

The problem

“Has your child had a gap in their learning?”

It is the question every receiving school asks, and a shoebox of worksheets is not an answer. Learn Abroad was built for one family moving mid-year, because nothing existing did both halves of the job: teach the child, and prove it afterwards.

Built for the move

Bridges two curricula

Content is chosen as a bridge between the syllabus your child is leaving and the one they are joining — not a continuation of either, and with the differences named rather than glossed over.

Built for travel

No connection needed

Everything is on the device. No account, no server, nothing to sync. It works on a long-haul flight, in a hotel with bad wifi, and in a country where the sim card has not arrived yet.

Built for real days

Days advance when finished

Not when the calendar says so. Lose a day to an airport and nothing accumulates — there is no backlog of missed work waiting to greet a child who is already unsettled.

The shape of a week

Five blocks a day. Two of the days are deliberately shorter.

Maths and science together never exceed 95 minutes. Five identical four-hour days is how a plan like this dies in week three.

Practice that never runs out

Questions are generated, not written out, so “try again” hands your child a different question at the same difficulty — and shows its working using the numbers they actually saw.

Notebook

Half an hour off the screen

A daily writing or creative task the app sets and ticks off but does not host. Most of them use wherever you happen to be that day.

AI Lab

An hour that is not watching

A daily block for free NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute courses. It cannot be ticked off until your child has written a couple of sentences about what they learned.

The part that matters later

A learning record the next school will actually read.

Every completed week, what it covered, and the strand it sits in at both ends — the curriculum being left and the one being joined. Plus the written work and your child's own reflections, quoted unedited. It saves as a file you can email or print to PDF.

Honest by construction

Counted, never estimated

Every figure comes from work that was actually finished. Anything not yet done simply does not appear — which is what makes the rest of it worth showing to someone.

Checkable

Named strands, not codes

Outcome codes change between syllabus versions and a receiving school will check them. Strand names say the same thing and stand up to scrutiny.

Credible

It names the gaps too

Where two curricula genuinely diverge, the record says so and shows which weeks were added to close the difference. That paragraph is what makes the rest believable.

Where this is up to

Built for one family, in use every day.

Learn Abroad was written for a single Year 7 student moving from Sydney to Dubai mid-year, and it is running for him now. It is not a product other families can buy yet: there are no accounts, no payments, and the curriculum bridge is not yet tailorable to an arbitrary pair of schools.

It is open in the meantime. If you are moving your child between schools and it is useful to you, take it — and if you write to hello@learnabroad.app with the two schools and the year group, that helps decide which curricula to bridge next.

Questions

The ones worth asking.

Is this a replacement for school?

No, and it does not pretend to be. It is structured schoolwork for a defined gap between two schools — typically one to two terms. It is not accredited, it does not award qualifications, and it does not replace a legal schooling requirement. Check what your country requires while your child is out of school.

What ages is it for?

Year 7 — roughly ages 11 to 13. The content sits at the overlap that both NSW Stage 4 and the National Curriculum for England place in Year 7, so it is neither ahead of nor behind that cohort. Other year groups do not exist yet.

Does my child need me sitting with them?

Not for the daily work. Hints come before answers, every wrong answer gets a second attempt before the working is shown, and every wall of text can be read aloud. You will want ten minutes at the start to set it up, and the notebook work is better with someone to show it to.

What happens to my child's data?

It stays on the device. There is no account, no server and no analytics — the app makes no network calls at all. That also means progress does not follow them to another device, and clearing browser data clears it. Export the learning record regularly.

Why is there an hour of AI every day?

Because it was built for a child moving to a school that specialises in it. The courses are NVIDIA's free Deep Learning Institute ones, linked rather than hosted, and you choose which. It is the block to drop or swap first if it does not suit your child.
