๐Ÿ”๏ธ The learning platform for life skills ยท Ages 7โ€“18 ยท School & home

Beyond the
curriculum.

PinnacleKids is a platform and app that brings 8 essential life skills into the school day โ€” AI literacy, coding, cybersecurity, financial intelligence, mindfulness, resilience, entrepreneurship, and leadership. Built for children aged 7โ€“18, fitting inside existing timetables with no extra work for teachers.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

We believe the most important skills a child can learn are barely taught anywhere. Not because anyone doesn't care โ€” but because the curriculum hasn't kept up with the world children are actually growing up in.

AI is reshaping everything. The children who thrive will be the ones who know how to use it, how to find their footing in a world that keeps shifting โ€” and how to stay safe in one that doesn't always have their best interests at heart. PinnacleKids teaches all of it โ€” inside the existing timetable, no extra hours, no extra prep.

We're selecting 3โ€“5 founding partners now. Free to pilot. Yours to shape.

โœ“ You're on the list. We'll be in touch within 48 hours.

Across Europe, AI literacy is no longer optional โ€” it's policy. DigComp 2.2 (2025) formally lists AI literacy, cybersecurity, and digital wellbeing as core competencies for every European citizen. The EU AI Act Article 4 requires member states to actively promote AI literacy. The OECD and European Commission released a joint AI Literacy Framework for schools in 2025. In the Netherlands, digital literacy โ€” including AI โ€” becomes legally mandatory in every school from August 2027. The policy direction is the same across every EU member state. The question is who helps schools get there first.

40%
of EU teens use AI daily โ€” 81% say it helps their creativity. More than 80% have never been taught how to use it critically or safely (Google Future Report, 2025)
The problem

The gaps no one is filling.

The skills that shape whether a child thrives โ€” confidence, digital fluency, resilience, financial independence โ€” are almost entirely absent from the standard curriculum.

40%
AI Without Guidance
40% of EU teenagers use AI daily or almost daily โ€” 81% say it improves their creativity, 65% use it to solve problems, 47% to understand difficult topics. They are not misusing it. They are using it constantly, without any framework for doing so critically or safely. Meanwhile, more than 80% say their teachers have never explicitly taught them how to use AI. One in four attends a school that has banned it entirely โ€” solving nothing. "I think school is lagging behind. We should learn how to use AI better."

Digital Vulnerability
Cybercrime targeting 12โ€“18 year-olds rose 34% between 2021 and 2024. Young people are the primary targets of phishing, identity theft, and social engineering โ€” because they're digitally active but digitally unprotected.

Mental Health Crisis
Mindfulness-based programmes reduce anxiety symptoms in children by up to 40% and improve academic performance. This requires just 30 minutes per week โ€” and is almost entirely absent from school timetables.

The Resilience Crisis
63% of 15-year-old girls and 43% of boys in Europe feel pressured by schoolwork โ€” up sharply since 2018. Dutch research shows academic stress is driving school avoidance, creating a cycle that makes things worse. Resilience is teachable. It is simply not being taught.

The policy is set.
Who delivers it?

Every PinnacleKids subject maps directly onto active EU policy โ€” and most European countries now have national frameworks or funding mechanisms to implement it. We are not proposing something new. We are the delivery vehicle for goals that governments across Europe have already committed to.

EU AI Act โ€” Article 4 (2024) Member states are legally required to promote AI literacy among the population. PinnacleKids provides a ready-made school programme that fulfils this obligation directly โ€” structured, measurable, and aligned with the Act's intent.
Digital Education Action Plan 2021โ€“2027 (EU) EU-wide policy priority for AI and digital skills in education from an early age. DigComp 2.2 (2025) now lists AI literacy, cybersecurity, and digital wellbeing as core student competencies across all member states.
OECDโ€“EC AI Literacy Framework (2025) Jointly developed global standard for AI literacy in primary and secondary schools, released by the OECD and European Commission. PinnacleKids curriculum is designed in full alignment with this framework.
Erasmus+ Key Action 2 โ€” Partnerships for Innovation Structured school pilots across EU member states are eligible for โ‚ฌ200kโ€“โ‚ฌ300k in Erasmus+ project funding. A PinnacleKids pilot across 3โ€“5 schools in 2โ€“3 countries qualifies directly under the Innovation Partnerships strand.
Kerndoelen Digitale Geletterdheid (NL, Aug 2027) A concrete national example of EU policy in action: digital literacy โ€” including AI, data and cybersecurity โ€” becomes legally mandatory in every Dutch school from August 2027. Similar frameworks are being adopted across Belgium, Germany, and the Nordics.
GDPR & EU Data Residency Fully compliant. All student data stored within EU borders. Safe for use in any school across the European Union.

Become a founding pilot school.

Across Europe, schools are expected to teach AI literacy, digital safety, and resilience โ€” but most have no structured programme to do it with. We are selecting 3โ€“5 founding pilot schools now across Europe. Your school may already have national or EU funding to cover the cost.
