FREE AND FUN

Our vision is to be the source for childhood learning on the internet available from anywhere and without charge. Learning has to be fun! E-Learning for kids integrates gaming and learning to make our courseware more effective.  To make the learning fun we present our courses as a-learning journey; while acquiring all their new skills, the children travel around the world learning more about the 7 continents, countries, cities, oceans and cultures.

cURRICULUM BASED

With e-learning for kids we offer free, best-in-class curriculum based learning for children ages 5-12 in Math & Science, including Environmental skills, Health, and Life skills.

help picking the right GRADE

It’s very important children start at the right level, have fun in learning and work at their own pace. Please help the children selecting the level that is not too easy, but also not too difficult for them. There are two ways to do this.

1. You can either check the learning goals yourself to determine the correct level for your child(ren).
   

2. Or you can let the child take several lessons to determine his or her level. For example, if your child has the age of 6, please let him or her take one lesson in grade K, one lesson in grade 1, and one lesson in grade 2 to determine at which level he or she is.

The design and development of courses are guided by learning topics which are part of the International Baccalaureate curriculum which is used in 138 countries. In addition to this, we have developed a number of courses which supplement a typical primary school curriculum. Many topics are universal in nature (e.g. multiplication) and fit in any primary school curriculum around the world.

How to use e-learning for kids courseware?

Depending on the proficiency level of a child in specific subject areas, as well as the availability and quality of education, the courseware can be used to:

• Support an existing classroom curriculum

• Provide additional practice

• Supplement an existing curriculum

• Support homeschooling

Do students need a username and password in order to take courses from the EFK site?

A username and password are not needed for the courses.

Can EFK track or contact the students who are taking the courses?

No, our tracking only tells us the country information, the number of unique users, and similar generic information about our website visits.

Can you provide direct access to a module instead of sending your students to our site?

Absolutely, when taking the courses online, click on the module you’d like to send to your students. You will then see the URL specific for that lesson that can be shared with the students.

What happened to the courses that were previously available on your website? I cannot find them anymore.

In 2020 we had about 750 courses online on our website, most in English, but also some in Spanish, French, Portuguese. About 200 of the courses were developed in flash. As all computer browsers stopped supporting flash in 2020, we’ve taken those courses offline. Of course we first checked the learning goals, and most of the learning goals in our flash-courses, were already covered in our Math World and Science World courses. Only Computer Skills aren’t available in Math World and Science World, so we hope to develop new courses for these soon. More information about this, can be found via the below “More information” button.

Tilly has developed courses for children from two years old and for preparing those who are older for school. Children learn to distinguish colors, learn the names of the cubs of different animals, and train to determine whether an object is flat or three-dimensional in a picture.

And for future first-graders, classes help to understand the system of sounds and letters of the Russian language and mathematical concepts that will be needed at school: addition and subtraction, even and odd numbers, the number line and the composition of the number.

Classes are held in the form of interactive exercises. Children watch theory slides and listen to the speaker's comments, and then perform tasks: they try to substitute the desired mathematical sign in an example or find where the stress falls in a word.

Classes are designed to meet Federal State Educational Standards, which call for families to be involved in the learning process. Therefore, part of the exercises - for example, from the speech therapy unit - children can only perform with their parents. Once a day, Tilly sends homework: this helps the child to study regularly, and parents do not waste time looking for suitable exercises.

The creators of the "Children's Art School Online" decided to look at the world around children from the point of view of art and talk to schoolchildren in a language they understand.

For example, they offer to study the basics of photography at a master class on selfies, and at a course on creating a non-standard avatar, children will learn about the history of a portrait in world painting. Teachers will tell children who love to dance how to conquer Tik-Tok, and parents will be helped to find a common language with a teenager — for example, by turning the mess in his room into an art installation together.

Animation and Me is a course that will teach your child how to create cartoons. It consists of 30 lectures recorded by legendary animators - Yuri Norshtein and Konstantin Bronzit - and young professionals who talk about modern techniques in animation.

Lectures are divided into two blocks. First, children get acquainted with the theory - the history of animation and the basics of the profession. And then they will learn about the practical skills that any multiplier needs. The lessons themselves are not long - 20-25 minutes, but after each one they give homework: it will help you get your hand in before you start creating a real cartoon.

Even those who cannot read yet can study. Actions on simple levels are indicated by icons, but the essence remains the same: to solve the problem, you will have to figure out in what order to perform actions, how cycles work, and how variable numerical values ​​change the behavior of characters on the screen.

If you are tired of the same type of tasks, you can make your own project: program a mini-game or make colorful characters dance to the music. For inspiration, it is convenient to use the archive of other people's work: all projects are published with open source so that students can exchange ideas and experiences with each other.

"School of programmers" is not an entertainment course, but full additional education with a program for several years. Classes are held according to the schedule in the mode of webinars: students communicate live with teachers, write and submit code for verification, and immediately receive feedback. There are a lot of lessons: every week 4 hours are allotted only for compulsory classes, and each student can also choose electives according to interests, for example, web design, information security or robotics.

Students in grades 2-11 can enter the school, the program depends on age. To enroll, you will have to pass exams: those who fail to cope with tasks in mathematics, logic and algorithms are unlikely to be enrolled in the course.

You can enroll in the main department of the "School of Programmers" only at the beginning of the academic year. For those who want to see how the classes are going and learn something new right now, an additional registration for special courses and free lessons is opened during the year.

The Children and Science project is not an addition, but an alternative to school lessons in biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. Online courses for the portal were created by the best Russian teachers who do not want to work with outdated textbooks and programs. Previously, only students from several elite Moscow schools could attend their author's classes, but now they are available to anyone with an Internet connection.

Each course consists of video lectures, notes, game assignments and a final test that will help assess how well the child has mastered the program. Each student chooses the pace and trajectory of learning for himself: for some, it is enough to look over the notes to catch all the most important things, and for some, they want to watch several related lectures on different subjects before moving on to the next thematic block.

What students can get for good studies

The "Children and Science" project will not be able to completely replace school classes: so far, the portal has only one or two lessons for each class.

Letovo is a special private boarding school, which is more important to find a talented child than a family that can pay for education. Children are accepted on the basis of a strict competitive selection, and scholarships that can cover up to 100% of the cost of education help to solve the financial issue. Although Letovo is located in Moscow, children from all over the country can enter there: for students from other cities, there is a campus with accommodation buildings on the territory of the school.

To help talented children prepare for exams and make a good education accessible, Letovo teachers have created an online school. On this portal, students can check their level of knowledge in school subjects: the test will show which topics have gaps and offer materials that will help improve the result.

Letovo.Online also invites children to try their hand at solving Olympiad problems, and if this still doesn’t work, you can watch webinars where teachers explain the logic of solving competitive tasks. Or join an online circle to prepare for the Olympiads with other schoolchildren. True, you won’t be able to start right away: the next set will be only in September.

After which university can you find a well-paid job?

There are also ready-made collections of paid courses. For example, specialized programs for schoolchildren who have already decided on their future profession, or classes that guarantee admission to the university of their dreams: if the applicant fails the exams, the money for studying will be returned. And if you like studying at Foxford more than going to school, you can switch to home schooling and join the external study program: then the curator will monitor the child’s progress instead of the class teacher, and experts from the OGE and USE and university teachers will prepare for the exams.
