Kiddom

What Kiddom is

Kiddom is a K-12 digital curriculum platform sold to school districts and schools and used by their teachers and students. It combines published core curricula in math, English language arts, science and social studies (the company calls them high-quality instructional materials, or HQIM) with a teaching platform for planning, assigning, grading and reporting, and it adds professional learning and customer success staff to help a district roll the whole thing out. The site describes the company as "a technology company in love with exceptional curricula" that partners with curriculum experts rather than writing everything itself.

The About page timeline says Kiddom was founded in 2015 as a library of standards-aligned K-12 materials connected to a gradebook. Its two founders were college roommates: Ahsan Rizvi, now chief executive, and Abbas Manjee, chief academic officer, who taught math to over-age, under-credited youth in New York City before building his own digital gradebook. The stated aim is to help teachers "spend less time planning and grading so they can deliver exceptional lessons with a human touch."

The timeline shows how the product grew. A lesson planner arrived in 2017, and Kiddom Academy followed in 2018 as a separate view for district and building administrators to see usage. In 2020 the company turned its focus to HQIM, and in 2022 it added partnerships with Open Up Resources, Odell, the Core Knowledge Foundation and OpenStax. Illustrative Mathematics, EL Education, OpenSciEd, Amira, Slooh and Labster joined in 2023, and in 2024 Kiddom introduced four math-based AI features for feedback, lesson shortening and practice generation.

The curricula and grade bands

The catalog of curricula is the heart of the product. In math there is Kiddom Illustrative Mathematics IM v.360 for grades K-12 in digital, print and kit form, plus a California Common Core edition, Kiddom Florida Math B.E.S.T. and Kiddom Texas Math TEKS. English language arts covers EL Education for grades K-8 in digital and print (with a California edition), Odell Education, and a phonemic awareness program for upper elementary students. Kiddom Reads and Solves is a combined math and ELA program the site says is built for New York City schools. Science runs on OpenSciEd for grades 6-12 and OpenStax, both NGSS-aligned, and social studies on Core Knowledge Bayou Bridges, aligned to the 2022 LSSSS standards.

The teachers' FAQ describes these materials as problem- and discourse-based, hands-on and community-centered, "rigorous yet approachable for all students (low-floor, high-ceiling)". Many come as printed student and teacher editions and as kits with centers, manipulatives and hands-on materials. In the digital version, lessons use presentations, embedded video, synchronous teaching tools, audio recordings, digital manipulatives, interactive simulations and podcasts.

The teaching platform

For teachers, the platform is where the curriculum gets planned, assigned and graded. The teacher page lists sharing lesson plans, assignments and student data with colleagues; adding questions or context to a lesson with video, voice, images or text; giving digital feedback at the question or assignment level; searching the K-12 curriculum for a specific instructional element; and a Classwork view that keeps every student on the same page. Reporting comes in two forms: growth-centered reports written for students, and standards-based reports that show teachers which standards to reteach and how to group students. Assignment data can be broken down by question and question type, and auto-grading handles the questions it can.

Kiddom groups its newer tools under the name Learning Intelligence Technology. Atlas, for grades 3-8, is assessment and intervention inside the core curriculum: it groups students by misconception or extension, with the follow-up materials ready, and the site sums it up as assessment that plans the next day's lesson. Paper Score lets a teacher capture student work done on paper and have Kiddom grade it. Spotlight captures paper-based work from a device and projects it to the class mid-lesson. Kiddom Assistant answers questions about a learning objective, a term or how concepts connect, drawing its answers from the curriculum itself, and KODA lets staff chat with their district's data.

The AI tools sit on top of this. Lesson Clipper shortens a lesson, Practice Generator creates extra practice problems, AI-Grading scores open-ended responses, and AI-Feedback writes feedback on student answers. The teachers' page also mentions AI-powered lesson summaries that make dense material easier to digest. Kiddom frames all of it as support for the teacher, with grading recommendations rather than final verdicts.

Pricing

Kiddom publishes a National Pricing page for Kiddom IM v.360 and EL Education, last updated September 18, 2025 and marked as subject to change. It states that "Prices are listed per student per year" and that "Teachers can access Kiddom for free with student licenses", so a district pays per student, not per teacher seat. Shipping is not included.

In math, every student full course set from kindergarten through Algebra 2 is listed at $27.00 per student per year. Kindergarten through grade 5 sets are split into four unit bundles at $6.75 each, and grade 6 upward into three bundles at $9.00. Teacher full course sets for grades 6, 7 and 8 and Algebra 1 are $149.95, built from three teacher unit sets at $47.00 plus a course overview at $8.95 for most grades. Grades 6 and 7 also have accelerated student and teacher sets at the same prices. For EL Education, student materials are sold by module at $9.00 to $12.00 depending on grade and edition, and the grade 6 to 8 teacher modules are $90.00 each.

Results the company reports

The home page reports outcome figures tied to teacher practice rather than to the software alone. Teachers using Atlas "generated student gains of up to 18% compared to peers", and teachers who used Atlas three times a week saw student performance rise by 10 or more points. Across Virginia districts, the site says students whose teachers graded 75% or more of assignments outperformed low-grading peers by up to 26%. A comparison table on the same page credits Kiddom with reducing teacher workload by 8-9 hours a week, where it marks a traditional LMS as no change. On curriculum quality, the About page says Kiddom IM v.360 received all-green scores from EdReports in 2025, which it calls EdReports' highest rating, and the home page says the high school math course meets expectations across all three gateways on the v2.0 review tool.

Professional learning and support

Professional learning is part of the package. The program is tiered: district-wide training for broad shifts, school-based coaching, and individual support for teachers. Formats include live workshops, virtual sessions, asynchronous modules, learning walks, instructional coach mentorships and train-the-trainer workshops, with separate pathways for school leaders. The year runs in three phases (Implementation Launch, Capacity Building and Sustaining Impact), and each district gets a dedicated Customer Success Manager with fixed touchpoints: an Annual Success Plan in September to October, a mid-year review, a year-in-review and a back-to-school refresh. The professional learning page also states that Kiddom is a certified professional learning provider.

Day-to-day help comes through onboarding training, live chat support inside Kiddom, a self-serve knowledge base, a success video library, a virtual help desk and a customer success inbox. Each curriculum also carries teacher support material on its lesson model and standards alignment. One district reference on the teachers' page, from Susan Rawlings of Charleston County School District, reads: "At Charleston County, we trust Kiddom for the ELA curriculum rollout. Teachers use it daily to find what they need and teach."

Who it suits

Kiddom fits a district that has chosen, or is about to choose, one of the curricula it carries, such as Illustrative Mathematics, EL Education or OpenSciEd, and wants the digital platform, print materials, assessment and training from one partner. The state editions for California, Florida and Texas and the New York City program make it a direct match for schools in those systems. Per-student pricing with free teacher access keeps the budget simple to model. It is sold to schools and districts, as its demo form asks for a school or district name and a school email, so students and families reach it through their school. A school that wants a curriculum-neutral LMS for its own teacher-made courses, or one that needs attendance and timetabling tools, will find the product is built around these published curricula instead.
