EDNAS is a curriculum education company. We give schools everything they need to teach AI literacy properly and with confidence: structured lessons, teacher guides, student activities, and assessments, ready to use, for every year group from Year 1 through Year 9.
We started from a simple observation: schools everywhere are being asked to prepare students for an AI-shaped world, but almost none of them have the curriculum or the teacher capacity to do it well. EDNAS solves both.
EDNAS is designed for any school that wants to give students a serious, structured AI education. The curriculum is built around British Key Stages and integrates naturally into British, American, IB, and hybrid school frameworks. If your school teaches in English and values a rigorous, future-focused curriculum, EDNAS is built with you in mind.
It works as a whole-school programme, across all year groups, taught by your existing teachers, without needing a specialist department or any new infrastructure. Schools in any country can get started.
Most schools trying to teach AI are working with one of three things: a one-off workshop that does not go anywhere, a collection of resources teachers have to piece together themselves, or training focused on getting educators to use an AI tool rather than helping students understand AI.
EDNAS is a genuine curriculum. It has structure, progression, and pedagogy built in. Any teacher can pick it up and deliver it well without a computing background, specialist hardware, or extra preparation time. And because the focus is on understanding rather than tool use, it stays relevant regardless of how quickly the technology changes.
Yes. The EDNAS curriculum is aligned with UNESCO and OECD AI literacy frameworks, which means the competencies your students build are recognised globally, not tied to any single country's standards. This matters for internationally mobile students and for schools that value globally benchmarked outcomes.
It also prepares students for PISA 2029, which will assess AI literacy for the first time, making structured AI education an academic priority for forward-looking schools, not just a supplementary activity.
The curriculum integrates with British, American, IB, and hybrid school systems. Schools do not need to change their existing curriculum framework or assessment approach to adopt EDNAS.
Accessibility is something we take seriously. The curriculum is written in clear, age-appropriate language and is structured to give teachers room to adapt delivery to their class, including students with additional or special educational needs.
Teacher guides include guidance on pacing and differentiation, and because the lessons are fully resourced, teachers have the flexibility to spend more time on concepts, adjust activities, or modify tasks to suit the learners in front of them. If you have specific questions about how EDNAS works for your students, we are happy to talk it through. Get in touch.
The curriculum covers Years 1 to 9 across three stages. Years 1 to 6 (Primary) are live on the platform now. Years 7 to 9 (Secondary) are in development and on track for August 2026.
Schools can start with Primary only and add Secondary when it is available. Each year group is fully self-contained, so there are no gaps or catch-up requirements if a school starts part way through the journey.
Each year group follows a 12-week term structure: 9 lessons across 3 progressive projects, 2 revision weeks, and 1 assessment week. One lesson per week fits into an existing timetable slot with no restructuring required.
Each lesson comes fully resourced with a teacher presentation, student worksheet, teacher guide, and assessment materials. The progression across years is designed so concepts deepen year on year while each year remains complete in itself.
Progression in EDNAS means students revisit and build on the same core concepts each year, at increasing depth and complexity. A Year 2 student exploring how machines recognise patterns is laying the foundation for a Year 5 student investigating how recommendation algorithms work, and a Year 8 student examining bias in machine learning systems.
This is different from a series of standalone units. The same threads, including data, decision-making, ethics, and how AI learns, run through every year group, so students do not start from scratch each time. They go deeper. By the end of Year 9, students have spent years building a coherent, layered understanding of AI rather than a disconnected collection of activities.
Each year is also self-contained, so a school joining in Year 4, for example, does not need to go back and teach Years 1 to 3 first. Students benefit from what they cover in that year, and build on it in subsequent years going forward.
Every lesson includes a full set of ready-to-use teaching materials: a teacher presentation, a step-by-step teacher guide, student worksheets, and assessment tools. Teachers access everything through the EDNAS platform, organised by year group and lesson, so resources are always easy to find.
The platform also includes a Resource Hub with supplementary materials, a vocabulary guide for each year, and guidance on differentiation and delivery. There is no preparation needed beyond reading the lesson guide before class.
Students learn how AI works, why it matters, and how to think critically about its role in their lives and in society. In primary years this includes pattern recognition, decision-making, data, and the role of algorithms. In secondary, students engage more deeply with machine learning, bias, ethics, governance, and the broader societal implications of intelligent technologies.
Throughout all years, the curriculum builds skills mapped to the EDNAS AI Competency Framework, aligned with UNESCO, OECD, and PISA 2029 standards.
Some lessons include AI tool activities, delivered as teacher-led demonstrations, guided group work, or individual student tasks depending on the lesson. Responsible use is built into the pedagogy throughout.
Schools that prefer a more cautious approach can opt to deliver all tool-based activities as teacher demonstrations only, without requiring students to interact directly. The curriculum is flexible enough to meet each school's own safeguarding and device policies.
EDNAS is a dedicated AI curriculum: one lesson per week, delivered by a single teacher, with clear progression from unit to unit. It is not split across subjects or shared between different teachers.
What sets it apart from a traditional computing class is that each unit intentionally connects to other disciplines, including science, mathematics, literacy, and social studies, so AI stays relevant and contextual rather than siloed. This also means it can be delivered by a home-room or form teacher, not just a computing specialist.
Students get coherent AI progression, AI stays connected to the rest of their learning, and no timetable restructuring or new subject areas are required.
No. This is one of EDNAS's core design principles. Any classroom teacher, whether a Year 3 form teacher, a secondary English teacher, or a PSHE lead, can deliver the curriculum confidently. No computing or AI background is required.
Every lesson includes a step-by-step teacher guide, a ready-made presentation, and an age-appropriate vocabulary guide so teachers know exactly what to say and how to explain every concept clearly.
No. The curriculum is designed to reduce planning workload, not add to it. Everything is ready: the lesson plan, the presentation, the student activity, the teacher notes, and the assessment. Teachers open the resource, read the guide, and deliver. No additional preparation is needed.
Yes. EDNAS offers a certified professional development pathway for educators, covering AI foundations for the classroom, advanced curriculum integration and pedagogy, and school-wide AI leadership and governance. Each course includes a digital certificate and a verifiable LinkedIn badge on completion.
CPD training is available separately from the curriculum subscription and can be purchased by individual teachers or by schools enrolling multiple staff. View our training courses.
No specialist hardware or software is required. Teachers access all resources through the EDNAS online platform, and a standard browser on any device is sufficient. Resources are available as downloadable files and as ready-to-present slides, so schools can work with whatever classroom technology they already have.
EDNAS is an annual school subscription. Pricing is tailored to your school's size and the year groups you want to cover, so a small primary school and a large all-through school will have different quotes.
To get a quote for your school, get in touch or book a call with our team.
Yes. EDNAS offers a free 7-days access for schools that want to explore the curriculum before subscribing. This will allow you to see the quality, test delivery in real classrooms, and gather feedback from staff and students before making a commitment.
To enquire about a pilot, contact us or book a 30-minute discovery call.
Yes. Schools purchasing as part of a group or network receive multi-school discounts. If your school is part of a group and you would like to discuss a group agreement, contact our partnerships team.
Very quickly. Once a subscription is confirmed, your teachers receive platform access and can begin delivering lessons within the same week. There is no software to install, no infrastructure to set up, and no long onboarding process. Schools receive an onboarding package and our team is available to support the first steps.
The curriculum is currently available in English, with Arabic coming soon. EDNAS is open to partnering with schools and organisations to make the curriculum available in additional languages where there is sufficient interest and scale. If language availability is a consideration for your school or network, we would like to hear from you.
