What makes the School Edition different.

The School Edition is the same as the consumer app but with every word unlocked by default, no purchase prompts, and no distractions.

Every word unlocked

Students never see a paywall, an upgrade prompt, or a locked entry. The full 11,000-word dictionary is available on install.

No student accounts

No sign-ups, no email collection, no PII from students. The app works out of the box on shared devices.

No ads, no in-app purchases

The School Edition has no advertising, no third-party links, and no way for a student to spend money or wander off.

Works on Chromebooks and iPads

Chromebooks use the web app. iPads and iPhones use the native iOS app. Perfect for classroom carts, library stations, and 1:1 programs.

Audio for every entry

Human-voiced audio for both the word and its definition. Especially useful for ESL students and emerging readers.

Content moderation

Every word is reviewed for age-appropriateness. The School Edition’s content pipeline is designed around classroom standards.

In the classroom

Where teachers put it to work.

Independent reading

A reference during silent reading.

Students who hit an unknown word don’t have to interrupt the teacher or skip past it. They can look it up in seconds and keep reading.

  • Instant search across the full dictionary
  • Audio pronunciation for new vocabulary
Writer’s workshop

A thesaurus-adjacent tool for drafting.

Second through fifth graders use Kids Dictionary during drafting to find more precise words, confirm meanings, and discover related vocabulary.

  • Twelve categories to browse by theme
  • Parts of speech displayed on every entry
ESL and bilingual classrooms

Audio-first vocabulary building.

English language learners build fluency by hearing a word pronounced correctly, seeing an illustration, and reading a plain-English definition.

  • Illustration for every primary entry
  • Definitions use simple vocabulary

Common questions

What school leaders usually ask.

How is this different from the consumer app?

The School Edition unlocks every word by default and removes the in-app purchase flow entirely. There are no upgrade prompts, no “unlock Premium” buttons, and no restore-purchases screen for students to accidentally hit. Everything else is the same high-quality app parents use at home.

Is this COPPA compliant?

Yes. We don’t collect personally identifiable information from students. The School Edition requires no accounts, no email addresses, and no student-generated content. Our data practices are described in detail in our privacy policy.

How do we buy it?

For iOS, download directly from the App Store or purchase in bulk through Apple School Manager’s Volume Purchasing program. For Chromebooks, make an inquiry below and we’ll provision access for your school. Larger deployments can be invoiced with a purchase order.

What devices does it work on?

Kids Dictionary runs as a native app on iPhone and iPad (iOS 15 or newer) and as a web app on Chromebooks, Windows PCs, and any modern browser. Most classroom iPads are supported, including older iPad 7th-generation and newer models.

What ages does it suit?

Kids Dictionary is designed for ages 4 to 12, which maps to roughly Kindergarten through 6th grade. Older students, especially those in ESL or special education programs, also use it regularly as a vocabulary reference.
