English language and character-building values
Strategic Emphasis on Oral Language
Speaking and listening are the building blocks of true, communicative language ability. Many programs teach kids to read, but Joy School English teaches them to read and speak English. And with over 16,000 opportunities to use their voice, kids quickly gain conversational confidence.
Social & Emotional Learning, Character-Building Values
Together with New York Times #1 bestselling authors Linda and Richard Eyre—experts in parenting and teaching children values—we have developed a powerful value-teaching curriculum that helps kids build strong character and succeed as productive and happy global citizens.
Speech Recognition Technology
Joy School English uses cutting-edge speech recognition technology to analyze speech, allowing the program to adapt to each child. This personalized experience—enhanced by artificial intelligence—optimizes oral language instruction.
"In my 23 years in education, I have not seen such active student engagement with a virtual program."
A solid foundation in oral language will help children become successful readers and strong communicators as well as increase their confidence.
There is a fundamental relationship between oral language and literacy. Initially, reading and writing are dependent on oral language skills. Eventually, reading and writing extend oral language.

Flexible instructional models for classrooms and independent learning
Joy School English helps teach English and values in three important, interconnected ways. First, a collection of teacher tools allows for small group, whole class, and even remote instruction. Second, students can learn independently—at home or at school—with a mobile app filled with games, songs, and videos. Third, parents can stay involved with their student’s progress with reports and in-app tools that encourage parent-child interaction.
"...my students are speaking while they are playing."
“The difference between Joy School English and other apps trying to teach English is that my students are speaking while they are playing. In the other apps they might be receiving information, but in Joy School I hear them talk a lot and sing, and I like to see how they’re trying to improve their pronunciation. I think that’s the most positive thing about it.”
—Sylvia, Principal, Mexico City
“…they really understand the values at such a young age.”
“With Joy School English, when the children learn values we see that they really comprehend what’s right and what’s wrong. It is such a surprise to see that they really understand the values at such a young age. Thank you Joy School English!”
— Teacher, Dahua Kindergarden, China.
