TopSchool.ai

Let teachers teach. Let AI assist.

One governed and school-aware AI ecosystem for teachers, students, parents and school leaders – shaped around your curriculum, policies, and values.

Key features

• Get lesson prep time back. Create lesson plans, quizzes and classroom resources from your school’s existing materials instead of starting from a blank page.
• Make one lesson work for more learners. Adapt explanations, reading level, scaffolding, pace and extension while keeping the same learning goal - including for learners with SEND - with the teacher reviewing what fits.
• Give each student help at their pace. A personal AI tutor which isn't designed for sycophancy and addiction can adjust explanations and practice to a learner’s progress, strengths and goals.
• Keep AI connected to what your school teaches. Ground classroom support in your curriculum and teaching approach, so teachers spend less time fixing generic outputs.
• Help parents support learning at home. Give families clearer insight and practical, school-linked ways to help their child.
• Set the rules before AI reaches the classroom. Give school leaders control over who can use AI, what it can access and where human review is required.
