For schools

Reasoning as a subject your school runs.

Cohorts by section in a slot you already have, your teachers trained to facilitate, submissions marked against a rubric, and a coordinator dashboard that shows what is happening while the term can still be changed.

What a school gets

Four things, none of which is a stack of logins

A licence hands out accounts and reports a completion percentage. This hands you a programme your staff can run and evidence you can put in front of a board.

Structured discussion, on the timetable you already have

The method is a moderated discussion with a rubric behind it. It runs in an existing period — a tutorial slot, a library period, a club hour — rather than asking for a new one, which is the difference between a programme a school can start in January and one that waits for next year.

Sessions sized to a standard 40–45 minute period
Moderator notes and rubrics written for teachers, not trainers
Runs alongside the board syllabus, not against it
A typical placement in the week

Grade 11 runs one case discussion per week in the existing tutorial slot, with the written submission set as that week's homework.

The skills the board exam does not assess

Reasoning under uncertainty, defending a position, changing your mind when the evidence says to, writing an argument someone else can follow. These decide how a student does after school and are almost never marked before it.

Argument construction and written reasoning
Listening, disagreement and revision under discussion
What changes by term two

Submissions stop opening with a conclusion and start opening with the question — the single clearest early signal that the method has landed.

What the coordinator can actually see

Participation, submission quality and reasoning growth per student and per section, while the term is still running. Not a login count, and not a completion percentage that reaches 100% the day before the report is due.

Per-section participation and drop-off
Reasoning-quality movement across the term
Exportable for internal review and parent reporting
What a head of department watches

One section's participation falls in week five while its neighbour's holds — usually a timetable clash, and visible early enough to move the slot.

Built for a school's duty of care

School cohorts are closed by default: students see their own cohort, discussions are moderated, and nothing about a student leaves the school without consent. The safeguarding posture is a setting the school owns, not a policy it inherits.

Closed cohorts, moderated rooms, staff visibility throughout
No public profile for a school student unless the school enables it
Reporting routes that reach a named adult at the school
Where this is written down

The rules students agree to are the Community Guidelines, and how reports are handled is on the Safety page — both public, both linked from every page.

Who it reaches

Three groups inside one school

The depth differs by grade; the discussion structure does not.

Senior school

Grades 9 to 12, where board pressure is highest and reasoning practice is squeezed out first. This is where the method does the most.

Middle school

Grades 6 to 8, run as a lighter foundation track: shorter cases, more scaffolding, the same discussion structure.

Faculty

Teachers train as facilitators and are certified to run the rooms, so the programme belongs to the school rather than to a vendor.

This page or the student one?

Two different readers

Both pages describe the same platform. They answer different questions, so they are kept apart.

01

Who the page is for

For School Students: A student or a parent deciding whether to join.

For Schools: A school deciding whether to run this for its students.

02

What is being set up

For School Students: An individual account, chosen tracks, learning at their own pace.

For Schools: Cohorts by section, a slot on the timetable, staff as facilitators, dashboards for the coordinator.

03

How it starts

For School Students: Sign up and start the first track today.

For Schools: A conversation, one pilot section for a term, then a review.

A student or parent deciding for themselves should read For School Students instead.

How it starts

Conversation to whole grade

Five steps across roughly two terms. The pilot decides everything that follows it.

01

A conversation

Thirty minutes on what you want to change and whether this fits your calendar. If the honest answer is that it does not, we will say so.

02

One pilot section

A single section, one track, one term. Small enough to run properly and big enough for the outcome data to mean anything.

03

Train your teachers

Staff shadow a room, then co-run one, then run their own. Our facilitators cover the gap while yours certify.

04

Review the term

Participation, submission quality and reasoning movement for the pilot section, read against the sections that did not run it.

05

Widen it

Extend to more sections and grades on what the pilot showed. Most schools widen by grade rather than all at once.

Questions

What schools ask first

It replaces a period rather than adding one. Schools run it in an existing tutorial, library or club slot, and the written submission is set as that week's homework. Schools that try to add it on top of a full board timetable tend to lose it by week six, so we recommend against that.
Not at the start. Our facilitators run the rooms while your staff shadow and train, and most schools take over within a term. A school that can run its own rooms keeps the programme when the budget line changes; one that cannot has bought a subscription.
School cohorts are closed by default — students see and talk to their own cohort, every room is moderated, and a student under 18 has no public profile unless the school enables it. Reports route to a named adult at the school as well as to our moderation team. The Safety page sets out the whole model.
Everything for students in your own cohorts: participation, submissions, reasoning movement and rubric marks, exportable for internal review. Nothing about a student is shared outside the school without their own consent, and a student's work in one school's cohort is never visible to another institution.
A student buying a course learns alone at their own pace. A school cohort is a group moving together on your schedule, with your staff facilitating, rubric-marked submissions, and a dashboard the coordinator reads while the term is still running. Cohort Learning explains that difference in full.
Per-cohort pricing that falls with size, and deliberately cheap pilots, because an expensive pilot never happens. Exact numbers depend on how many sections and tracks are in scope — the conversation starts on the contact page.
Pilots start each term

Start with one section.
Decide from the term.

One track, one term, and a review at the end that tells you whether to widen it — read against the sections that did not run it.
