Adventure Academy doesn’t have a teacher discount. Age of Learning, the company that makes it, calls it a program designed for families that wasn’t built for classroom use, and gives teachers free access to its other programs instead. If you’re buying Adventure Academy for your own kids, Rakuten pays $2 cash back on the annual plan.

Adventure Academy is an online game world for elementary and middle school students, built for grades 3 to 8. Kids make an avatar, take on quests and work through reading, math, science and social studies, and the coins they earn go toward pets and clothes for their character. A parent picks the chat setting: full chat with filters, a short list of pre-selected messages, or no chat at all. If kids in your class already play it at home, that’s the thing to know: it’s a family subscription, not a classroom tool. For a free math game you can run in class, or a language app with a free school program, start with those posts.

How To Get The Adventure Academy Discount

There’s no teacher rate to claim, and homeschool families don’t get a separate one either. Everyone pays the public price, and the annual plan is $45. New subscribers can start with a free trial that has the full game, but you have to enter payment details up front and you aren’t charged until the trial ends.

The one saving that exists is Rakuten cash back. Click through the button below, sign in to Rakuten, search for Adventure Academy and subscribe from there. The $2 covers annual subscriptions paid at purchase, it’s limited to one per member, and it doesn’t apply to a free trial. So if you want the $2, skip the trial and buy the annual plan. Check the total at checkout before you pay.

What Teachers Can Get Free From Age Of Learning

The same company runs two free programs for teachers. ABCmouse for Teachers is a free classroom account for PreK to 2nd grade educators, and our ABCmouse post walks through who qualifies and how sign-up works. For older grades there isn’t an Adventure Academy version, but teachers can get free access to Age of Learning’s in-school reading and math programs: My Math Academy, My Reading Academy and My Reading Academy Español. That offer is for two teachers per school site, and it covers individual teachers and educators of public schools, private schools and Head Start programs in the U.S.

If you’re a middle school teacher hoping to put Adventure Academy in front of a whole class, the free programs above are the closest match, and the tech discounts for teachers have more classroom tools.

What Adventure Academy Costs

The annual plan is $45 a year, and a six-month plan is $29.99. The monthly plan is listed at $12.99 in one place and $14.99 in another, so look at the price on the sign-up screen before you choose it. Every plan renews automatically until you cancel, so the cancel date matters if you’re only after one season of play.
