Siblings, one Command Center
Dad's Academy is built for families with more than one child. You hold one parent account. Each child gets their own cadet profile, their own level in each subject, and their own daily review. You see all of them in one place, and each additional child is 25% off.
Try a question — free, no account
One account, a profile for each child
Children don't share a login. Each child is a cadet with their own profile, from kindergarten to grade 9, and their answers only ever shape their own practice. That matters more than it sounds: when two children share one account, the app learns a blend of both of them and teaches neither well.
The account stays with you. You add each child, set their grade, choose their settings, and decide which of them are on the free or the paid plan. Nothing is sold to your children, and there are no ads in the app.
Each child at their own level
Different grades, same kitchen table
On the paid plan, Pip, the companion in the app, sets each child's level separately in each of the four subjects: Math, English and Reading, Science, and Life Skills. An older child who is ahead in reading and steady in math gets exactly that. A younger child starting out in kindergarten math gets questions made for them, not a slower version of their sibling's. See adaptive learning, explained for how the level is set.

A short example: Maya and Theo
Maya is in grade 5 and Theo is in grade 2. Each morning they do their review on the same PC, one after the other. Maya's math has moved on to multiplying fractions while her science level holds where it is. Theo is working on adding two-digit numbers, and keeps tripping over apostrophes in English.
Neither of them sees the other's level or score. You see both.
Everyone at a glance
The parent Command Center shows each child in turn, and you switch between them from the top bar: recent accuracy by subject, the skills each one misses most often, and time spent practising. If Theo keeps missing the same punctuation rule, you can assign practice on it in a tap, or ask Pip how he is getting on in plain language. Both are available on the free plan.
It is designed to take about two minutes a day, whether you have one child or four.
One family PC, more than one child
Many families have one Windows PC that every child uses. On the paid plan, the Dad's Academy Windows companion keeps that PC on learning first: each child signs in to their own Windows account, linked to their cadet profile, and the screen time they earn is their own. You set the limits for each child. The companion runs on Windows PCs only. See screen time they earn for how it works.
Without comparing marks
Siblings notice everything. Children never see each other's levels, accuracy or scores. The one shared view in the child app is a light weekly "family race" that counts how many questions each sibling has answered, not how well. Each child's level is measured against their own answers, not against a brother or sister in a different grade.
What it costs for more than one child
Dad's Academy is free to start, with no card required, and you can cancel anytime. Plans are priced per child, called a cadet in the app:
| Free | Paid plan (per cadet) | |
|---|---|---|
| Questions per day | 5 | Unlimited |
| Subjects | One, rotating across the week | All four |
| Adaptive level-up per subject | — | ✓ |
| This Week at School (match the week's lessons) | — | ✓ |
| Earn-to-play screen time (Windows PC companion) | — | ✓ |
| Parent Command Center, Ask Pip, assign practice | ✓ | ✓ |
Each additional cadet is 25% off. Paying annually works out to roughly two months free. Prices are shown in your local currency on the pricing page.
Mixing free and paid
You choose a plan for each child separately, from the Command Center. Some families start the child who most needs the practice on the paid plan and keep a younger sibling on the free plan for now. Others move everyone across together. You can change either at any time.
Adding a brother or sister later
When a younger child is ready, add them to the same account and set their grade. Their level starts fresh and is theirs alone; nothing carries over from an older sibling. If you put them on the paid plan, the sibling discount applies.
Frequently asked questions
- Can siblings share one Dad's Academy account?
- They share your parent account, but not a profile. Each child gets their own cadet profile with their own level in each subject, so one child's answers never change another child's practice. You see all of them in one Command Center.
- Is there a family plan or sibling discount?
- Yes. Plans are priced per child, and each additional child is 25% off. Paying annually works out to roughly two months free. Prices are shown in your local currency.
- My children are in different grades. Does that work?
- Yes. Each child is set up at their own grade, from kindergarten to grade 9, and on the paid plan the level adapts separately for each child in each subject.
- Do I have to put every child on the paid plan?
- No. You choose a plan for each child separately. One child can be on the paid plan while another stays on the free plan, which gives 5 questions a day in one subject, rotating across the week.
- Can my children see each other's progress?
- Not their levels or marks. Each child's practice, levels and accuracy are their own. The child app does show a weekly family race that counts how many questions each sibling has answered. Progress for every child is visible to you, in the parent Command Center.
- Can several children use the same Windows PC?
- Yes. On the paid plan, the Windows companion keeps the family PC on learning first, and each child signs in to their own Windows account and earns their own screen time within the limits you set. The companion runs on Windows PCs only.
- How do I add another child later?
- Add them from your parent account and set their grade. Their level starts fresh and belongs to them alone. If you put them on the paid plan, the sibling discount applies.
