For Alberta families, Grades 3 to 6

Practice that keeps pace with the classroom

Larchmark plans short after-school practice around what your child's class is learning this week, on paper or on screen, and shows you what's sticking.

The sample needs no account, and nothing in it is saved.

After school shouldn't be guesswork

  • What's on at school this week?

    The bag comes home, and the week stays a mystery.

  • Printouts that don't match class

    Generic worksheets drill last term, or next year.

  • Apps that add screen time

    Another game is the last thing after a school day.

One week, start to finish

The same calm loop every week, with the minutes each step takes.

Questions

Which grades does Larchmark cover?

Grades 3 to 6, on Alberta's new K–6 curriculum. Grades 7 and 8 are planned for 2027.

How does it know what the class is learning?

It follows the order Alberta classes usually teach the curriculum. On Sunday you see the suggested topic for each subject and confirm it, or pick another, if your child's class is somewhere else.

Do we need a printer?

No. Every sheet can be done on screen in kid mode. Printing is there for children who do better on paper.

How long does it take?

A sheet takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the grade, or the length you choose. Your part is about a minute on Sunday and a tap each day.

What do you keep about my child?

A first name, grade and colour, and the scores you record. Data is stored in Canada, with no ads or trackers.

Is Larchmark connected to my child's school?

No. Larchmark is independent and isn't made or endorsed by Alberta Education or any school board.

When can we start?

Larchmark opens to Alberta families in 2027. You can look around a sample week now, with no account.
