Your School Should Be Teaching This.
Here’s How to Make It Happen.
Cyber Civics is our award-winning digital literacy curriculum — taught in schools across the United States and internationally for 15 years.
But it’s not in every school yet.
If you’ve ever worried about:
• Cyberbullying
• Social media pressure
• Misinformation
• AI literacy
• Online privacy
• Screen addiction
...this curriculum is the structured, school-wide program. Taught by teachers in the classroom, and easy for any school to implement.
And sometimes all it takes is one parent raising their hand.
What is Cyber Civics?
Cyber Civics is a comprehensive, teacher-led digital literacy curriculum that gives kids the ethical framework and critical thinking skills to navigate the digital world — including AI — wisely and responsibly.
Lessons are hands-on and discussion-based, not screen-based. Because kids don't need more time staring at devices. They need real conversations with trusted adults.
For 4th and 5th grade: Lessons build the social-emotional foundation young students need to use technology safely, including basic online safety and responsible tech habits.
For middle school: Curriculum covers Digital Citizenship, Information Literacy, and Media Literacy — the three pillars of a complete digital education.
All lessons are aligned with CCSS ELA-LITERACY Standards, ISTE Tech Standards for Students, and CASEL Competencies.
Why Schools Love Cyber Civics
Teacher-led, face-to-face. Research consistently shows that the most effective digital literacy education happens through real conversation — not apps or gamified platforms. Cyber Civics lessons are designed for the classroom, not a screen.
Built for developing brains. The curriculum scaffolds topics across grade levels so that a complex digital world builds in meaning over time. Students don't just learn rules — they develop judgment.
Easy for teachers to implement. Lesson plans, slides, videos, parent letters, and student materials are all available through a private online portal. Teachers are supported every step of the way.
Proven results. Cyber Civics has a 98% school renewal rate. Schools don't just try it — they keep it, year after year.
