The short version: Atrium Institute is a tutoring website used by middle- and high-school students, including children under 13. We collect the minimum information needed to run an account-based learning service. We do not sell or rent your information. We do not show advertisements. We use a small number of trusted third parties (Anthropic for the AI tutor, Resend for email, and Render for hosting / database) to operate the service. Parents of children under 13 must consent to their child's account by linking through the in-product flow before the child can use the service.
"Atrium Institute" ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at atriuminstitute.ai ("the Service"). This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information about people who use the Service ("you"). If you are under 18, please read this with a parent or guardian. If you are under 13, your parent or legal guardian must consent through the in-product parent linking flow before you can use the Service.
We do not run advertising trackers or third-party analytics pixels. We do not use fingerprinting. We do not collect precise location. We do not collect device identifiers, contact lists, photos, microphone, or camera data.
Atrium Institute is intended as a study tool for students, and we know children under 13 will use it. In the United States, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires us to obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from a child under 13. Several US states (including California, Colorado, and Connecticut) impose additional or stricter requirements for users under various age thresholds. We follow COPPA's federal baseline today, and we layer state-specific protections as our compliance posture matures.
What this means in practice:
If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13 without proper consent, please contact us immediately at hello@atriuminstitute.ai and we will delete the information promptly.
We use the information we collect to:
We rely on a small set of third parties to run the Service. Each is bound by contract or by their published terms to use information only to provide their service to us:
We do not transfer your information to any other third party for any reason, except where required by law (see section 8).
We take a security posture appropriate to a small educational service. Specifically:
No service is perfectly secure. If we ever suffer a breach that affects your account, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
Subject to applicable law, you (or, for a child, the child's parent or guardian) may:
The Service is operated from the United States. If you use the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction that grants statutory data-protection rights, you also have rights to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. We treat European-Economic-Area transfers under appropriate safeguards including Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make a material change, we will announce it on the homepage and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For changes that materially affect a child's account, we will email the parent on file before the change takes effect.
Email hello@atriuminstitute.ai with any privacy question, data request, or consent withdrawal. We aim to respond within 5 business days. Please include the email address on the relevant account so we can verify the request before acting on it.

The short version: Atrium Institute is a free study tool for middle- and high-school students. Use it to learn. Don't abuse it. If you are under 18, please read these terms with a parent or guardian. If you are under 13, your parent must consent through our in-product parent linking flow before you can use the Service. The AI tutor "Max" is a study companion, not a textbook — always verify important answers with your teacher or an authoritative source.
By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the website at atriuminstitute.ai ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service. The Service is operated by Atrium Institute ("we", "us", "our"). These Terms work together with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference.
The Service is designed for students of all ages and is intentionally appropriate for use by minors. Specific requirements apply:
You are responsible for:
We may suspend or terminate an account that we reasonably believe is being used in violation of these Terms (see section 11).
You agree not to:
The AI tutor "Max" is a large-language-model assistant, currently powered by Anthropic's Claude. Like all large-language-model systems, it can be confidently wrong. It can hallucinate facts, miscompute arithmetic, misread a question, give a misleading explanation, or produce content that is out of date.
Specifically:
When you submit a quiz answer, fill out your profile, or send Max a message, you give us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use that content solely to operate and improve the Service for you. We do not claim ownership of your content. We do not share or sell it (see the Privacy Policy for the full data-handling description).
If you email us feedback or suggestions, you give us permission to use the feedback (in aggregate or anonymised form) to improve the Service.
The Service's course curriculum, question banks, lessons, study tools, brand, name "Atrium Institute", logo, and underlying code are owned by us or licensed to us. They are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. The licence described in this section grants you the right to use the Service for personal, non-commercial study; it does not give you the right to copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sublicense, or create derivative works of any of our content outside that personal-study use.
Lower-level source code published in our public repository is governed separately by the licensing notice in that repository (currently: published for transparency only, not for re-use).
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy. Without limiting the generality of the above:
To the fullest extent permitted by law: we and our directors, officers, employees, contractors, and third-party providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or substitute services — arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid us for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars (USD $100). Because the Service is currently provided free of charge, the amount under (a) is typically zero.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so some of the limitations above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (for example, liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence).
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Atrium Institute and its affiliates from and against any third-party claim, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the Service, or (c) content you submit to the Service in violation of section 4. If you are a parent or guardian using the Service for a minor's benefit, this section applies to your use and to the minor's use.
You may stop using the Service at any time. To delete your account permanently, email hello@atriuminstitute.ai from the account's email address (see the Privacy Policy for the deletion timeline). We may suspend or terminate your access if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, are using the Service to harm yourself or others, or are creating undue cost or risk for the Service or its other users. Where the suspension is not urgent, we'll try to give notice and a chance to fix the issue first. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, governing law) survive.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we'll update the "Last updated" date and announce the change on the homepage. For under-13 accounts, we'll email the parent on file before a material change affecting the child's account takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and (unless otherwise required by mandatory consumer-protection law where you live) the State of California, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you and we consent to personal jurisdiction there. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer-protection laws, nothing in this section overrides protections you have under those laws.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a right or provision is not a waiver of that right. You may not assign or transfer these Terms; we may assign these Terms in connection with a sale, merger, or reorganisation. Headings are for convenience only.
For any question about these Terms, account access, content takedown, or anything else covered here, email hello@atriuminstitute.ai.

Max the AI tutor, full Study Methods, and Final Exams are Pro features. Start a 3-day free trial — no commitment.
Personalised math & English for grades 6 through 12. Free for every student. An AI tutor named Max walks every kid through every lesson, every quiz, every mistake. Parents see what's happening. Students build real confidence.
Max adapts to the kid in front of him. A six-question onboarding survey captures learning style, study time, hobbies, and what they want to be when they grow up. Lessons and Problem of the Day examples lean on what motivates that particular student.
Every lesson started, quiz attempted, hint used, and minute on site lands on a parent dashboard the moment it happens. No 'we'll discuss it at parent-teacher night' lag. You see what's working and what's not, today.
For each linked student: daily / weekly / monthly / quarterly rollups by subject, time spent, strongest topics, weak areas, recent quiz scores, and an AI-generated activity summary you can read in under a minute. Two-sided link approval keeps the wrong child from ever being attached to the wrong parent.
A private tutor typically costs $60 to $150 per hour. Atrium is free. Max teaches the same lesson, grades the same way, and is available at 6am, 11pm, or in the middle of homework on a Sunday. The maths: one hour of tutoring a week is about $5,200 a year. Atrium is zero.
No commuting to a learning centre. No waiting for a tutor's availability. A student can run a focused 25-minute Pomodoro between dinner and homework and finish a whole section. Time-tracking shows exactly where the minutes went, by subject and by day, so wasted study habits get fixed instead of becoming permanent.
Confidence comes from small wins, not pep talks. Every quiz passed, every problem of the day solved, every lesson finished gets a point reward and counts towards a badge. Streaks reward consistency. Locked badges show a progress bar so kids can see exactly how close they are. The system is designed for steady reinforcement.
Max writes each lesson in five steps with worked examples, "watch out for" callouts, and a built-in "explain it back" prompt so the student has to think, not just nod along. Get a quiz answer wrong and he walks through the underlying concept, not just the right answer. He's available inside every quiz, every lesson, anywhere in the app.
21 courses: math from Arithmetic through Real Analysis and Differential Equations, English Language Arts grades 6 through 12, AP Calculus, AP Statistics. 150+ topics. 10,000+ practice questions. Aligned to Common Core. One sign-in, no separate maths app vs reading app.
COPPA-aware: students under 13 can't use the service until a parent links. We don't sell student data. We don't run ads at students. School and district are captured so administrators can later see usage at their level (opt-in) without ever exposing per-student data they shouldn't.
One curated problem a day, every day, picked from the curriculum bank with deterministic rotation so every student sees the same one. Solving it earns +20 points and contributes to the daily streak. A tiny ritual that keeps the habit going on days a student wouldn't otherwise log in.
Daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards based on points earned, not raw test scores. A kid who shows up every day and grinds through three lessons can rank above one who passed one quiz on a Friday. Effort gets recognised because effort is what builds skill.
Students set their own pace, but the system nudges them. Optional reminder emails. Study Methods coach for techniques like Pomodoro, spaced repetition, and active recall. A study plan with weekly goals and tracked time. The structure of a class without a class's rigid schedule.
Email + a 6-digit code. That's the whole signup. You're learning in under two minutes.
Can't find what you're looking for? Email hello@atriuminstitute.ai.
A free online learning platform for students in grades 6 through 12. We cover math from Pre-Algebra through Calculus and English Language Arts grades 6 to 12, with an AI tutor named Max who walks every student through lessons, quizzes, and mistakes.
We're still evaluating pricing and will update this page as soon as it's finalised. The plan is to keep the core experience (browse courses, take quizzes, see your progress) free for every student. Features that consume AI tokens or run real-time monitoring (Max chat, AI lesson generation, weekly parent digest summaries, instant activity rollups) are likely to be on a premium tier so the operating cost is covered. No card is required to sign up today.
No. It runs in any modern web browser on a laptop, tablet, or phone. No app to install.
Open atriuminstitute.ai, click Sign up free, enter your email, and we send you a 6-digit code. Paste the code and you're in. No passwords.
Check your spam or junk folder first. The email comes from hello@atriuminstitute.ai. School and district email systems often flag verification codes on first delivery. Mark it as "Not spam" and future codes go to your inbox. If it's truly missing, click Send a new code on the verification screen.
21 courses total: math from Arithmetic and Pre-Algebra through Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus (AP), Statistics, Finite Math, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Abstract Algebra, and Real Analysis. English Language Arts is split by grade from 6 through 12. Over 150 topics and 10,000+ practice questions.
Max is built into every lesson and quiz. Click Learn on any topic and he writes a 5-step lesson with worked examples, "watch out for" callouts, and a check-your-understanding prompt. Inside a quiz, he can explain why an answer is wrong, give a hint without giving away the answer, or answer any maths or English question you type at him.
One curated maths problem picked from the curriculum every day. Every student sees the same problem. Solving it earns +20 points and contributes to your streak.
A streak counts the number of consecutive days you completed at least one activity (a lesson, a quiz, or the Problem of the Day). Miss a day and the streak resets. Streak chips show at the top of the screen.
+50 for passing a quiz, +10 for attempting one, +5 for starting a lesson, +2 for using a hint, +20 for solving the Problem of the Day, +50 for unlocking an achievement. Points fuel the daily / weekly / monthly leaderboards.
13 badges you can earn for steady progress: first quiz passed, weekly streak, 50 quizzes passed, full-marks streak, Problem of the Day streak, and others. Locked badges show a progress bar so you can see exactly how close you are.
Yes. The Activity page shows quiz history, weak topics, and an AI-written summary of your last week. The Achievements page shows points by day/week/month/all-time and where you stand on each badge.
Max walks you through the underlying concept and shows the right approach. The goal is to actually understand the mistake, not just memorise the right answer. Past mistakes appear on the Activity page so you can review them.
Both of you sign up. On your parent dashboard, paste your child's 8-character link code (or the other way around). The request goes to the OTHER side as a pending invitation. Once they approve, the link goes live. This two-sided check stops anyone who happens to know the link code from silently linking to the wrong child.
Daily / weekly / monthly / quarterly activity rollups by subject, time spent on the platform, recent quiz scores, weak topics, study habits, and an AI-generated weekly summary. You can drill into a per-student 360 view that includes the entire activity timeline.
Yes. From the parent profile page, toggle the weekly digest on and pick the day and time. The digest summarises every linked student's activity from the past week.
We comply with COPPA. Under-13 students can sign up but their account is gated on a parent linking and approving the connection. Once that happens, the kid's account unlocks. Email reminders for under-13 students stay off until you (the parent) explicitly authorise them on the parent profile page.
Students 13 and older can use it on their own. Under 13, a parent link is required before any learning happens. We strongly recommend parental supervision for ages 13 to 17 regardless.
Point your phone (or any camera-capable device) at a math problem, tap the shutter, and Atrium reads the problem and writes out a step-by-step solution in the same style as Photomath. Every solve is auto-saved to your Snap & Solve history so you can come back and review it later.
Tap the 📸 Snap & Solve floating button in the bottom-right (visible on every page once you're signed in). The scanner opens with your camera live. Frame the problem inside the corner brackets, tap the white shutter, and wait 10-20 seconds while Max reads the image and writes the solution. If your camera isn't available, tap "or pick a photo" to upload an existing image from your device.
Three sections: the recognised problem at the top (as LaTeX), the final answer in a highlighted card, and a step-by-step walkthrough with numbered steps. Each step has a "Why this step?" expander you can tap to see the reasoning. When a problem has more than one reasonable solution method, both methods appear as separate expandable sections so you can compare approaches.
Under the recognised problem there's a "Not quite right? Edit and re-solve" expander. Tap it, fix the LaTeX in the textarea, and tap Re-solve. The edited version goes back to Max as text only (no second photo), so you don't burn another image upload.
Printed and handwritten math problems across arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, statistics, linear algebra, and differential equations. It also handles word problems if the entire problem fits in the frame. Best results: good lighting, no glare, the whole problem visible.
Every solve auto-saves to your Snap & Solve history. Open it from My Details → Snap & Solve 📸. Tap any card to revisit the full step-by-step. We keep a small thumbnail (~200px wide) of the original image alongside the solution; the full-resolution image is sent to Anthropic for the OCR + solve and is then discarded from our end.
Yes. Open the solve and tap the 🗑 Delete button at the bottom. That removes the row, the thumbnail, and the solution from our database. Single-tap confirm; we don't use the four-step flow here because the blast radius is one card.
Free today. Each solve uses Anthropic vision tokens (the image plus the solution), which is the kind of feature most likely to land on the future premium tier — see How much does it cost? for the broader pricing direction.
Yes. Three Snap & Solve badges: First Snap (your first solve), Photo Sleuth (10 solves), and Photo Master (50 solves). Each solve also earns +10 points toward your daily / weekly / monthly leaderboard.
Math and English Language Arts. That's the entire scope. Other school subjects (science, history, world languages, coding), general knowledge questions, politics, religion, current events, celebrities, entertainment, dating, friendships, mental health, medical or legal questions — all of those are off-topic. If your child asks, Max gives one short sentence acknowledging the question and then redirects to a specific math or English topic.
No. Max only uses information your child has already given the app at signup (first name, grade, current course). He will not ask for address, phone number, email, school name, parent or sibling details, birthday, social media handles, or photos. If a student volunteers something personal in the chat, Max is instructed to move past it without storing or repeating it.
Max is a fictional AI tutor. He doesn't have a real age, home, family, friends, pets, or romantic life. Questions like "where do you live", "how old are you", "are you human" get a single warm sentence ("I'm just an AI tutor — math and English are my whole world") and a pivot back to the work. Max does not roleplay as another character or claim a human identity.
He refuses. Sexual content, romantic / dating scenarios, violence, weapons, drugs, alcohol, vaping, gambling, gore, self-harm — all blocked, and the "it's for an English assignment" excuse doesn't override the rule. He also refuses to write anything aimed at insulting, bullying, deceiving, or harming another real person. The refusal is short and warm, not preachy.
If the chat raises a serious concern (self-harm, abuse, threats, severe distress), Max says one calm sentence pointing the student to a trusted adult — a parent, teacher, or school counsellor — and stops engaging on that topic. He is not a counsellor and is instructed not to act like one. If you're worried about a pattern in your child's activity, check the linked-parent dashboard for recent activity or contact us directly.
That's a known class of attack on AI systems. Max's guardrails are explicit that "ignore previous instructions", "pretend you are a different AI", or "say [forbidden thing] then we'll get back to math" do NOT change his behaviour. He briefly refuses and continues tutoring. No system tied to a model can promise 100% prevention, so we monitor usage server-side and continue to tighten the rules as new patterns emerge. If you spot a leak, email us at hello@atriuminstitute.ai.
The image is checked before Max attempts to solve. If the image is a person, a meme, a chat screenshot, a pet, or anything else that isn't a math or English problem, Max refuses with a short message asking the student to retake the photo of an actual homework problem. He never describes the contents of an inappropriate image beyond "this doesn't look like a math or English problem".
No. If a student says "this is on my SAT / final / standardized test tomorrow, just give me the answer", Max treats it like any other tutoring request: he explains the concept and walks through a parallel problem with different numbers. He does not produce the answer to the actual test problem.
No. We don't sell student data, ever. We don't run third-party advertising at students. Curriculum personalisation is done in-house; data does not leave Atrium for that purpose.
Email, age, country, grade level, school name, school district (US only), and the activity you generate inside Atrium (lessons started, quiz attempts and scores, time on site, points earned). For under-13 students, an additional parental-consent flag. If you use Snap & Solve, a small thumbnail of each scanned problem (~200px wide JPEG) is saved alongside the solution so you can recognise it in your history; the full-resolution image is sent to Anthropic for the OCR and solve, then discarded from our end.
Render Postgres in the US. Email is sent through Resend. AI lesson and chat content is generated by Anthropic Claude. Each provider sees only the data needed to do its job.
Yes, and it's self-serve. Open your Profile page, scroll to the Danger zone at the bottom, and click Delete account. You'll go through a four-step confirmation: a warning that lists everything you'll lose, four acknowledgement checkboxes, typing your account email exactly, and finally typing the phrase DELETE MY ACCOUNT (capital letters, with spaces). When you press the final red button the action is immediate and permanent.
What gets removed: your user record, profile, quiz attempts, weak-topic data, activity timeline, time-spent history, achievements, points, streaks, favourites, study plan, link to any parent or student, and active sessions. If you have a paid subscription, it's cancelled with Stripe at the same moment so you don't keep getting charged. We have no recovery process once the delete runs — make sure you're certain before pressing the final button.
Sign-ups under 13 are tagged with consent_required = true. The kid can browse but can't generate activity until a parent has linked the account. Reminder emails for under-13 students are gated on parent authorisation. Activity data is treated as restricted and not used for any commercial purpose.
Not yet. We plan to add Google Workspace for Education SSO; it's not the highest priority because the email-only signup already works inside school email systems.
So we can later let school administrators see aggregate usage from their district (opt-in, no per-student data exposed). It also helps us roll up regional usage stats for our own product decisions.
Type it in anyway. Your entry is saved so the next family in the same district sees it as a suggestion. Over time the autocomplete grows. We also seed the dropdown from the NCES Common Core of Data list of US public school districts (~13,000 entries).
Tick the "Private school" checkbox at signup. That skips the district question entirely. You still provide the school name.
School name only. State and district are US-specific and don't appear for non-US users.
Most of Max's heavy thinking (lessons, chat, mistake review, study plans) runs on Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.5. Lighter tasks (grading, hints, weekly summaries) run on Claude Haiku 4.5 for speed and cost.
No. AI tutors hallucinate occasionally. We pre-generate and cache lessons so the same Sonnet answer is served to everyone (no per-student drift), and we run validation on critical paths. Max marks his own work and explains his reasoning so students can spot a wrong step. If you find a mistake, email us.
Yes. On the Profile page there's an AI model preference: fast (Haiku), best (Sonnet), or balanced (default routing). Most students should leave it on balanced.
Recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Brave. Mobile Safari and Chrome Android both work. The maths renderer uses MathJax with a built-in fallback so equations look right even when MathJax fails to load.
We host on Render's free tier, which sleeps the server after 15 minutes of inactivity. A cold start takes ~15 seconds. We hit the site every 5 minutes from a keep-warm cron to keep it warm during the day, but a truly idle period can still cause one slow page load.
No. Lessons are generated on demand by Claude and quizzes are loaded from our server. An offline mode isn't on the roadmap.
Not yet. The web app is responsive and works on phones; a native app isn't a priority.

A calm place to learn math & English.
Atrium Institute is a self-paced learning platform built for middle and high school students who want to actually understand the material — not just rack up streaks and badges. We cover math from Pre-Algebra through Calculus and English Language Arts from grades 6 through 12, all inside one calm, distraction-free interface designed to support deep, focused work instead of constant interruptions.
Each course is organized into topics, and each topic into smaller quiz sections — typically three per topic — followed by a cumulative test covering the whole topic, and at the end of every course, a comprehensive final exam drawing from every section you've studied. Quizzes auto-grade themselves with detailed feedback on each answer, and your progress saves automatically as you go. There are over 100 topics and nearly 10,000 questions across the platform, ranging from quick conceptual checks to multi-step word problems and full literary analysis prompts.
At the center of Atrium Institute is Max, an AI tutor available 24/7 inside the app. Max isn't a chatbot tacked onto a quiz site — he's woven throughout the learning experience. Get a wrong answer and Max walks you through the mistake, explaining the underlying concept in plain language. Stuck on a topic? Click "Study [section name]" and Max will quiz you through it interactively, using whichever study technique fits the material best. Want a lesson before starting a quiz? Hit "Learn" and Max writes a tailored explanation in seconds.
We built Atrium Institute around the idea that real learning is about habits, not just exposure. The Study Methods panel includes ten research-backed techniques — Active Recall, the Feynman Technique, Spaced Repetition, the Pomodoro Method, Cornell Notes, Interleaved Practice, and more — each with interactive tools built in. There's a customizable Pomodoro timer with persistent countdown, a spaced-repetition planner that calculates exactly when you should review, a guided active-recall timer, and one-click access to ask Max to drill you on any topic using your chosen method.
Atrium Institute is for students who want to feel prepared, focused, and in control of their own learning — and for parents who want a real tutor available on a Sunday night without scheduling, at a fraction of the cost of a private one-on-one. We don't gamify, we don't run ads, and we don't sell your data. The interface is intentionally quiet so the work itself can take center stage. Whether you're catching up, working ahead, or studying for a specific exam, Atrium Institute is built to meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.
