AI Literacy, Coding, and Financial Literacy — taught by the same verified teachers as our core academic boards, with version-stamped curriculum standards every parent can inspect.
🎯
Real teachers, not chatbots
Every Platform Subject is taught by a verified teacher you can pick from the directory. AI augments the experience; humans drive the learning.
📜
Version-stamped standards
Every lesson maps to a published Glow Grades platform standard (versioned GLOWGRADES-2026-q2). Standards are reviewed quarterly so the curriculum stays current.

AI Literacy
Grades 3 – 12 · From "what is AI?" to working with Claude.
AI is shaping how students learn, work, and create. AI Literacy gives kids the vocabulary, instincts, and habits to use AI well — to question outputs, prompt clearly, recognize bias, and use it as a thinking partner rather than a shortcut.

Frequently asked
Are these subjects “official”? Where do the standards come from?
AI Literacy, Coding, and Financial Literacy don’t have a single canonical board (the way NGSS covers US science or NCERT covers India math). Glow Grades authors its own published, version-stamped Platform Standards — GLOWGRADES.AILiteracy.G3.WhatIsAI, etc. — that map directly to what gets taught in class. We publish the full standards list on our Curriculum Standards page so parents and districts can audit.
How is AI Literacy different from a coding class?
Coding teaches kids to build software. AI Literacy teaches them to live and work alongside AI tools — how to prompt clearly, how to spot when AI is wrong, how to use it ethically, and how to think critically about AI-generated content. The two complement each other; many students do both.
Can a 3rd-grader really learn AI?
The Grade 3-5 band focuses on intuition and safety — recognizing AI in daily life, knowing it can be wrong, understanding it’s software not a person. We don’t expect 8-year-olds to write machine-learning code. We expect them to use AI tools thoughtfully when they encounter them.
Does my teacher have to specialize in a Platform Subject?
No. Most Glow Grades teachers cover multiple subjects. Use the directory filter to find teachers who specifically list AI Literacy, Coding, or Financial Literacy in their profile.
