CertifAI Schools
India has made AI & Computational Thinking mandatory — Classes 3-8 from the 2026-27 session, Classes 9-10 from 2027-28. The government resource book is the floor: reading about AI. CertifAI Schools is an 8-year programme where students practically build with AI — with your existing teachers, no student accounts, and no API keys to buy.
Enter at Grade 5, stay with the school till Grade 12 — and take home a certificate worth being proud of, every single year.
Six skill strands that never disappear, only deepen — Explorer → Maker → Creator → Leader. A start-of-year Bridge re-fires last year's keystone skill, so each year provably builds on the last.
Every lesson ends in a made artefact, never a recall test. SEE → UNDERSTAND → BUILD → PROVE. Students drive real AI tools; the youngest train real on-device models with their own hands.
Students build inside the school's own free education tenant (Gemini for Education, Copilot Chat, Canva for Education) and on no-login on-device tools. Zero accounts created, zero keys purchased.
The curriculum names no tool in its spine — each unit has a swappable Tool Spotlight, and a safety-vetted Tool of the Month reaches every classroom monthly. The objective is the constant; the tool is the variable.
Regional law (India DPDP, COPPA, GDPR, UK AADC) is configuration, not forks. Standards-mapped to UNESCO, AI4K12, CSTA and ISTE — and mapped line-item to CBSE AI curriculum codes.
A named annual certificate for every student, every grade — verifiable (Open Badges 3.0), erasable for minors, backed by real artefacts the child made and defended out loud every year.
Four bands, one continuous climb — each year provably builds on the last.
Band 1 · Grades 5-6
Train real on-device models hands-on; direct every creative decision while the teacher lawfully drives the keyboard.
Band 2 · Grades 7-8
Drive live AI tools directly: prompt to a spec, trace bias, verify claims — and catch the AI being wrong.
Band 3 · Grades 9-10
Voice, music, video and no-code builds on the moderated Tool Lab; graded, tiered work — excellence stays visible.
Band 4 · Grades 11-12
Automation stacks and agent workflows, closing in the Grade-12 Graduation Credential.
The Maker Starter Unit: 6 scripted 45-minute lessons for Grades 7-8 — free for one teacher. Delivered by your own non-specialist teacher with under 15 minutes of prep per lesson, and a printed fallback for every lesson so a blocked tool or a power cut never kills the class.
Sort rule-based vs learned systems; steer an AI build by changing one instruction.
Iterate a prompt through 3+ versions against a written spec, citing evidence.
Trace a biased AI output to a training-data cause; propose a fix.
Check a 4-claim AI answer against independent sources; label each claim.
Build a mini-project with a complete process trail, including one verified AI error they caught.
Write an honest AI-use disclosure; defend the caught-AI-wrong find orally.
Every student finishes with one verified artefact where they caught the AI being wrong — and defended it out loud. The certificate records what the child actually did, not what an AI could fake for them.
We will not tell you “we moderate everything” — no honest vendor can. Here is exactly where each layer runs. When students build inside your school’s own education tenant, the live conversation is protected by the vendor’s under-18 guardrails on your tenant — we contract minimum catch-rates and test them with our own periodic adversarial checks, but we never see that conversation, so we do not claim to moderate it. What does reach our servers — the captured work in the Build Trail — is screened by our own classifiers at capture, with the strictest thresholds applied to the youngest band. A tenant that cannot evidence the contracted floors is switched off for minors, and the class fails closed to screened or unplugged work — never open.
Pilot schools receive a per-school Outcome Report: your students’ before/after change on CALM, the CertifAI AI-Literacy Measure — an instrument whose formal validation is in progress. We report your cohort’s measured change whatever it shows, including if it is unflattering. We do not claim proven results, and we will not use your data to claim them.
One per-student price covers the curriculum, the safety layer, the assessment engine and every student’s annual verifiable certificate — with no AI usage bill on top, because students build in your school’s own free education tenant.
₹120-250 / student / year
Pilot schools: free.
No — and we do not claim it. The Starter Unit is mapped line-item to CBSE AI curriculum codes (Skill Subject 417), so your teachers can trace every lesson to the codes they are accountable for. Formal recognition is something we pursue, never something we assert before it exists.
No. Students never sign up for anything. Building happens inside the school's own free education tenant, on no-login on-device tools, or through the teacher's screen for the youngest grades. The school buys no API keys, and our student-build AI cost does not grow with headcount.
The India price band is ₹120-250 per student per year. Pilot schools pay nothing: the pilot term — the full Maker Starter Unit for one class, with an outcome report — is free, with no obligation to buy anything afterwards.
Honestly: the pilot programme is now enrolling, so we do not yet claim proven results. Pilot schools receive a per-school Outcome Report — your students' before/after change on CALM, our AI-literacy measure, whose formal validation is in progress. We report your cohort's measured change whatever it shows.
Your school is the data controller; CertifAI is the processor. Everyone under 18 is treated as a minor. No ads, no profiling, no training AI models on student data — ever. Every safety gate fails closed: missing consent or an unconfigured safeguarding lead blocks the sensitive action rather than defaulting it open.
