Atomi leads for HSC/VCE revision; Stile wins for classroom science. - Author: Adam - Tags: Education & Learning AI, Atomi, Stile Education, Khanmigo, MagicSchool, HSC, VCE, #roundup Category verdict [**21**/25AtomiTop Pick](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/atomi-review-australia/)[**20**/25Stile EducationRunner-up](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/stile-education-review-australia/) **Our Top Pick for Australians: Atomi.** Every pick below is scored on the same five criteria. *Refreshed 29 July 2026 — folded in tools reviewed since June: Brisk Teaching, Curipod, Diffit, Photomath, Quizlet.* *By Adam* --- AI education tools are not all the same thing. That matters more in this category than in almost any other. A tool built to help a Year 12 student crack the HSC is entirely different from one that helps a primary school teacher write lesson plans. A classroom platform deployed by a school principal has different procurement obligations — privacy law, data residency, parental consent — than an app a student downloads on their phone at home. This roundup covers all three use cases. We have now reviewed ten tools against the Australian curriculum, Australian pricing, and the real-world conditions of Australian schools and students. Two were built here. Eight were built overseas. That gap shows up clearly in the scores: outside trans-Tasman Education Perfect, no overseas-built tool in this category clears 2/5 on Australian Fit. If you are a Year 12 student looking for an AI revision tool: start at Atomi. If you are a science teacher looking for a classroom platform: Stile Education. If you are a school principal evaluating AI deployments: read the Privacy Act section before you make a call. One universal rule: for students, AI should guide thinking, not replace it. The tool built most squarely on that principle — Khanmigo — was designed from the ground up on that principle. --- > **Earlier editions of this roundup:** [7 Jun 2026](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/best-ai-education-learning-australia-2026-06/).

We keep every edition so you can see how the tool and our verdict have moved — [how and why](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/review-timeline/). ## Quick-pick table | Tool | Score | Stars | Best for | Price (AUD) | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----- | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Atomi](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/atomi-review-australia/) | 21/25 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | HSC, VCE, QCE, WACE, SACE student revision | From \~A$19.95/month (student) | | [Stile Education](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/stile-education-review-australia/) | 20/25 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Science classroom platform, Years 7–10 | School licence — contact for pricing | | [Education Perfect](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/education-perfect-review-australia/) | 20/25 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Multi-subject school platform, Year 1–13 | School licence — contact for pricing | | [Khanmigo](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/khanmigo-review-australia/) | 19/25 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Concept understanding, Socratic method | Learner/parent plans require US billing address; AU access limited | | [MagicSchool AI](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/magicschool-ai-review-australia/) | 19/25 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Teacher lesson planning and admin productivity | Free tier; Plus \~A$18/month or \~A$140/year, USD billing | | [Brisk Teaching](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/review-brisk-teaching-australia-2026/) | 15/25 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Free lesson, quiz and feedback drafting inside Google Docs | Free tier (unlimited); paid school tiers USD, quote-only | | [Diffit](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/review-diffit-australia-2026/) | 14/25 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Levelled reading materials and EAL/D differentiation | Free tier (unlimited); \~A$21/month individual, USD billing | | [Photomath](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/review-photomath-australia-2026/) | 14/25 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Scan-and-solve maths homework help | Free tier; Plus \~A$15.50/month via app stores, GST included | | [Quizlet](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/review-quizlet-australia-2026/) | 14/25 | ⭐⭐⭐ | AI flashcards and spaced-repetition memorisation | Thin free tier; Plus A$59.99/year in-app (GST incl.) or \~A$50/year on the web in USD | | [Curipod](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/review-curipod-australia-2026/) | 13/25 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Live K–12 writing practice with instant AI feedback | Free tier (weekly sessions); Premium US$24/mo (\~A$34 ex-GST, RBA 7 Oct 2026); school licence quote-only, USD | --- ## How to choose Start with one question: are you a student, a teacher, or a school making a procurement decision? **Students** — your shortlist is Atomi and Khanmigo. Atomi wins on Australian curriculum alignment and is the stronger revision tool for senior secondary. It knows the HSC, VCE, QCE, WACE, and SACE syllabuses by name. Khanmigo is the better conceptual learning tool. It will not give you the answer — it asks questions until you work it out yourself. That approach is pedagogically superior for building understanding, not just memorising for exams. One catch: Khanmigo's learner and parent plans require a US billing address, so most Australian families cannot subscribe directly (confirmed June 2026). Quizlet (14/25) is a capable memorisation tool for content-heavy subjects, but its free tier is now thin and it pays no attention to Australia. Photomath (14/25) is a quick homework helper for maths — it gives answers more readily than understanding, so treat it as a supplement, not a revision strategy. **Which state?** For NSW (HSC), Victoria (VCE), Queensland (QCE), WA (WACE), or SA (SACE): Atomi is the pick. Its content is mapped to each state's syllabus. For younger students or subjects outside Atomi's scope, Khanmigo fills gaps well despite its US-curriculum base. **Teachers** — MagicSchool AI is the most powerful productivity tool in this group. It handles lesson planning, differentiation, rubric writing, parent communication drafts, and more. The data guidance matters: upload your own lesson materials, not student work. That boundary keeps Privacy Act risk low. Three newer free options are worth knowing. Brisk Teaching (15/25) drafts lessons, quizzes and feedback inside Google Docs — the best free tier in the category. Diffit (14/25) turns any text into levelled reading passages in seconds, with translation across 70-plus languages for EAL/D students. Curipod (13/25) runs teacher-led writing practice: every student writes, gets instant AI feedback and revises in the same lesson. Its prompts and curriculum mappings are American, so expect to adapt them. All three are US-or-Europe-built with no ACARA alignment — use the free tiers, skip the paid school tiers for now. **Schools deploying a platform** — the decision comes down to subject scope. Stile is a science-specialist platform (Years 7–10) built to the Australian Science Curriculum. Education Perfect covers more subjects and more year levels — it is the multi-subject school platform. Both have strong Australian presence and established privacy practices. Read the Privacy Act section before signing any contract. --- ## Mini-reviews ### [Atomi](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/atomi-review-australia/) — 21/25 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — TOP PICK Atomi is a Sydney-built video and quiz platform for senior secondary students. Its defining advantage is curriculum specificity. It does not offer generic science or maths content — it offers HSC Physics Unit 1, VCE Chemistry Unit 3, QCE Biology Unit 2\. Every lesson is mapped to a state syllabus. That is a meaningful difference when a Year 12 student is three weeks from an exam. The platform covers all five major Australian state curricula: NSW HSC, VCE (Vic), QCE (Qld), WACE (WA), and SACE (SA). Content is organised by subject, topic, and syllabus dot point. Students can see exactly which parts of the curriculum they have covered and which they have not. The AI features inside Atomi are less prominent than the name suggests. The core product is structured video content and adaptive quizzes. The platform tracks performance over time and surfaces the student's weakest topics. That is useful, if not as dramatically "AI" as some competitors market themselves. Pricing is direct-to-family in Australian dollars. A student subscription is approximately A$19.95/month. School licences are available. There is a free trial. No GST surprise — the pricing is clearly AUD inclusive. Atomi is an Australian company, incorporated and operating in Sydney. For school procurement, the local entity and AU-timezone support are real advantages. One caveat on data: Atomi's privacy policy discloses that personal information is processed offshore on servers in multiple countries, with no Australian data-centre commitment. That is the reason its Australian Fit scores 4/5 rather than 5/5\. Schools with strict data-sovereignty requirements should confirm arrangements with Atomi before signing. **Score breakdown:** Value for Money 4/5 | Ease of Use 5/5 | Feature Depth 4/5 | Australian Fit 4/5 | Reliability & Support 4/5 **Verdict:** The strongest AI-assisted revision platform for Australian senior secondary students. If you are doing the HSC, VCE, QCE, WACE, or SACE, Atomi knows your syllabus better than any other tool on this list. --- ### [Stile Education](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/stile-education-review-australia/) — 20/25 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good — Runner-up Stile Education is a Melbourne-built classroom platform for secondary science. It is not an AI tool in the consumer sense — it is a school-deployed platform used by teachers to run science lessons, set tasks, track student progress, and access a curated content library. AI features have been added to assist with content creation and teacher workflows. The platform is designed around the Australian Science Curriculum for Years 7 to 10\. Lessons are written to align with Australian curriculum achievement standards. Teachers can customise content, assign tasks, and view individual student responses in real time. The classroom workflow is well thought through. Stile's scope is intentionally narrow. It does science, and it does science well. It is not a multi-subject platform. Schools looking for English, maths, or humanities tools need to look elsewhere. Pricing is by school licence. Stile does not publish per-seat pricing publicly — schools contact directly for a quote. This is standard for school platforms, but makes comparison difficult for individual teachers evaluating options. Being Melbourne-built, Stile has a strong grasp of Australian curriculum requirements and Australian school workflows. Support is Australian. Data handling is governed by Australian law. **Score breakdown:** Value for Money 4/5 | Ease of Use 4/5 | Feature Depth 4/5 | Australian Fit 4/5 | Reliability & Support 4/5 **Verdict:** The best AI-supported classroom platform for Australian secondary science teachers. Science-only scope is a real limitation — but within that scope, nothing comes close for AU curriculum alignment. --- ### [Education Perfect](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/education-perfect-review-australia/) — 20/25 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Education Perfect is a New Zealand-founded school platform that has built a substantial presence in Australian schools. It covers a wide range of subjects — English, maths, science, languages, and more — across year levels from Year 1 to Year 13. The multi-subject scope is the key differentiator from Stile. Schools that want one platform across departments will find Education Perfect's breadth more useful. It has been localised for Australian curriculum requirements across subjects, though that localisation is less exhaustive than a purely Australian-built tool. AI features include adaptive question generation, automated marking for certain question types, and teacher insights dashboards. The platform learns from student performance and adjusts difficulty accordingly. These features work well in practice. Australian Fit scores 4/5 here, not 5/5\. The New Zealand origin means some curriculum alignment gaps exist for specific Australian state syllabuses, particularly at senior secondary level. The platform is strong across junior secondary and primary years. For Year 11 and 12 state-specific content (HSC, VCE, etc.), Atomi is more precise. Pricing is school-licence only. Australian schools will need to contact Education Perfect directly. The company has a local Australian team. Data storage for Australian schools is worth checking at contract stage. Education Perfect stores data in New Zealand and Australia — confirm the specific arrangement for your school with their team before signing. **Score breakdown:** Value for Money 4/5 | Ease of Use 4/5 | Feature Depth 4/5 | Australian Fit 4/5 | Reliability & Support 4/5 **Verdict:** A strong multi-subject school platform with solid AU presence. Better for junior secondary and primary than for state-specific senior secondary revision. Schools that need one platform across departments should shortlist it. --- ### [Khanmigo](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/khanmigo-review-australia/) — 19/25 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Khanmigo is Khan Academy's AI tutor. It is free for students with a Khan Academy account. It is also, pedagogically, the most interesting tool in this roundup. The key distinction: Khanmigo does not give answers. It uses the Socratic method — it responds to student questions with further questions, guiding the student to work out the answer themselves. Ask it "what is the answer to this calculus problem?" and it will ask you what you know about derivatives so far. This is a deliberate design choice, and a sound one. Students who use Khanmigo build understanding rather than outsourcing their thinking. For concept-heavy subjects — maths, physics, chemistry, economics — Khanmigo is an exceptional learning tool. The catch for Australians is access: Khanmigo's learner and parent plans require a US billing address, so most Australian families cannot subscribe directly (confirmed from the Khanmigo FAQ, June 2026). Free teacher access may be available via a Microsoft-supported programme covering 44-plus countries, but we could not confirm Australia is on that list — check support.khanacademy.org. The major caveat is curriculum alignment. Khanmigo is built on Khan Academy's content, which follows the US curriculum. For Australian students, this means the content is broadly useful for concepts but not mapped to HSC, VCE, or other state syllabuses. A Year 12 student cramming for the HSC Chemistry exam will find Atomi's syllabus-specific content more directly useful. A Year 10 student who wants to understand the underlying maths will find Khanmigo excellent. Australian Fit scores 1/5 here. The decisive problem is access, not just curriculum. Khanmigo's learner and parent plans require a US billing address — as of June 2026, direct subscription is restricted to US residents (confirmed from the Khanmigo FAQ). Most Australian families cannot sign up directly. Add the US-only curriculum base and US data residency, and the local fit is weak. This is not a quality failure — Khanmigo is an excellent product. It is just not built or available for Australian exam students. Data is stored in the United States. Khan Academy is a US non-profit. Schools considering deploying Khanmigo should review Privacy Act obligations for student data before doing so. **Score breakdown:** Value for Money 4/5 | Ease of Use 5/5 | Feature Depth 4/5 | Australian Fit 1/5 | Reliability & Support 5/5 **Verdict:** The best free AI tutor available. The Socratic method approach makes it genuinely better for learning than "just ask ChatGPT." US curriculum only — use it alongside an AU-aligned platform for exam preparation. --- ### [MagicSchool AI](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/magicschool-ai-review-australia/) — 19/25 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ MagicSchool AI is a teacher productivity platform. It does not tutor students and is not designed to handle student data. It is an AI workspace for teachers that can draft lesson plans, create rubrics, differentiate content for different learning levels, write parent communication, generate quiz questions, and handle much of the administrative writing that consumes teacher time. The product is genuinely useful. Australian teachers who have trialled it report significant time savings on lesson planning and assessment design. The tools are well-designed and the interface is quick. A free tier is available. Plus costs about A$18 a month, or A$140 a year, billed in USD — affordable for individual teachers, though schools licensing for an entire staff will want to do the maths. The Australian Fit score is 2/5\. MagicSchool has no Australian curriculum alignment — it does not know the HSC, the VCE, or the Australian Science Curriculum. Teachers can work around this by describing their curriculum context in prompts, but it is extra work that an AU-built tool would not require. Data is stored in the United States. This has important implications for school deployment. The data guidance for MagicSchool is clear: teachers should use it for their own lesson planning and administrative tasks. They should not upload student work, student names, or student data. Used within those boundaries, the Privacy Act risk is low. Schools should review their own policies before rolling it out. **Score breakdown:** Value for Money 4/5 | Ease of Use 4/5 | Feature Depth 4/5 | Australian Fit 2/5 | Reliability & Support 5/5 **Verdict:** The strongest AI productivity tool for teachers in this roundup. No student-facing use. No AU curriculum alignment. Use it for your own lesson planning and admin — keep student data out of it. --- ### [Brisk Teaching](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/review-brisk-teaching-australia-2026/) — 15/25 ⭐⭐⭐ Brisk Teaching is a free Chrome and Edge extension that sits on top of Google Docs, Slides and Forms. Click the Brisk button on any webpage, video or document and it generates lesson plans, quizzes, reading-level rewrites, translations, and draft feedback on student essays. The output writes straight back into your Drive — no second app to learn. The free tier is the story. Twenty-plus tools, unlimited usage, no card required. In a category where most tools gate everything behind a subscription, that is the standout. Reading-level rewrites and quiz generation that used to take 20 minutes take well under a minute. Feedback lands as draft comments you approve or edit before a student sees them — the right design. The limits are American. Standards alignment assumes US frameworks, with no ACARA or state-syllabus support. There is no AUD billing, and Brisk stores data on AWS without disclosing the region — no stated Australian data residency and no mention of the Privacy Act. The paid school tiers are quote-only and built for US districts. **Score breakdown:** Value for Money 4/5 | Ease of Use 4/5 | Feature Depth 3/5 | Australian Fit 2/5 | Reliability & Support 2/5 **Verdict:** The easiest free win for an Australian teacher who lives in Google Docs. Install it, trial it for a fortnight, keep it if it saves you time. Hold off on any paid school rollout until Brisk can speak to ACARA alignment and Australian data handling. --- ### [Diffit](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/review-diffit-australia-2026/) — 14/25 ⭐⭐⭐ Diffit does one job: differentiation. Paste a URL, a PDF, or a block of text, pick a reading level from roughly Grade 2 to Grade 11, and get a rewritten passage with vocabulary, comprehension questions and a summary in under ten seconds. A task that takes an experienced teacher 20 to 30 minutes takes Diffit seconds — and for a teacher managing 28 students at three reading levels, that compounds into hours each week. The EAL/D support is real. Translation across 70-plus languages, combined with reading-level adaptation, means you can produce a Simplified English version and an Arabic version of the same passage in two clicks. The free tier is genuinely functional — unlimited adaptations with PDF export, no expiry. The paywall sits around Google Classroom export (\~A$21/month, billed in USD). One design choice matters for schools: students never log in. No student names or identifiers enter the system. That is the correct model for K–12 edtech. The data that does go in is stored in the United States, standards alignment is US-only, and content generated from topic prompts reads American by default — supply your own Australian source material. **Score breakdown:** Value for Money 4/5 | Ease of Use 4/5 | Feature Depth 3/5 | Australian Fit 2/5 | Reliability & Support 1/5 **Verdict:** The best differentiation tool available to Australian teachers, and the free tier costs nothing to trial. Narrow by design — reading only, no maths — and a US product that happens to work here, not one built for us. --- ### [Quizlet](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/review-quizlet-australia-2026/) — 14/25 ⭐⭐⭐ Quizlet is the largest flashcard platform on earth, and in 2026 it is a genuine AI study tool: Magic Notes turns a 20-page PDF into a structured study set in seconds, Q-Chat tutors with a Socratic approach, and the adaptive Learn mode delivers real spaced-repetition memorisation. The library of 500 million user-generated sets covers almost any subject or qualification an Australian learner will face. The catch is the paywall. Features that were free two years ago — Learn mode beyond a daily cap, practice tests, offline access, every AI feature — now require Quizlet Plus (A$59.99/year bought inside the app, GST included; or \~A$50/year billed in USD on the web). The free tier is effectively a flashcard viewer with ads, and a Trustpilot score of 1.4/5 tells you how users feel about the change. Australian fit is 2/5, and the mark it gains is the app-store one: the Australian App Store bills Quizlet Plus in Australian dollars with GST included, at a premium to the USD web price. Everything else is against it — no Australian data region, no GST answer on the web checkout, and a worldwide perpetual licence over user content — set study sets to private before uploading anything you care about. Q-Chat has general knowledge of Australia but applies no Australian curriculum or context by default. **Score breakdown:** Value for Money 3/5 | Ease of Use 4/5 | Feature Depth 3/5 | Australian Fit 2/5 | Reliability & Support 2/5 **Verdict:** Worth A$50–A$60 a year (A$59.99 in-app, about A$50 on the web) for a dedicated learner drilling content-heavy material. Not worth it on the thin free tier, and not built for Australians in any respect. For understanding rather than memorisation, Khanmigo is the stronger tool. --- ## Our pick and runner-up ### Top Pick: Atomi Atomi is the best AI education tool for Australian students. Full stop. No other tool in this category has mapped its content to the HSC, VCE, QCE, WACE, and SACE syllabuses. No other tool offers AUD pricing direct to families with a clear free trial from a locally incorporated Sydney company. Atomi's one Australian-fit caveat is data: its privacy policy discloses offshore processing, so schools with strict data-sovereignty requirements should confirm arrangements before signing. If you are a Year 12 student, Atomi is your revision platform. If you are a parent of a senior secondary student, Atomi is the tool most directly aligned to their exam. The AI features are supplementary to the core content library — but the content library is the strongest in the market for AU students. The 21/25 score reflects one real limitation: the AI-specific features are less developed than the platform's content depth. Atomi is an excellent content platform with AI features, rather than an AI-native tool. That is a minor note. For the target use case — Australian senior secondary revision — nothing else comes close. The July 2026 refresh doubled the reviewed field to ten tools. None of the five newcomers scored above 15/25, and none cleared 2/5 on Australian Fit. The pick is unchanged. ### Runner-up: Stile Education Stile is the best option for Australian school science classrooms. Melbourne-built, AU curriculum-aligned, with data handled under Australian law. Science teachers in Years 7 to 10 who want a purpose-built classroom platform should shortlist it first. The science-only scope limits its usefulness for schools looking for a single platform across departments. For that use case, Education Perfect is the better fit. But for science specifically, Stile's depth and curriculum precision is superior. --- ## Student data and the Privacy Act If you are a school principal or IT manager evaluating any of these tools for deployment, data residency is a procurement obligation — not just a preference. Under the *Privacy Act 1988* (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), schools must take reasonable steps to protect personal information, including student data. For overseas data transfers, APP 8 requires that schools either confirm the recipient country's privacy laws are at least equivalent to Australia's, or obtain student and parent consent, or accept accountability for any breach by the overseas provider. **Confirmed Australian data storage:** Stile Education — student data stored in Australia (AWS), confirmed from Curriculum Associates privacy policy, April 2026 ✅; Education Perfect — student data stored on AWS Australia, confirmed from EP privacy policy, 7 June 2026 ✅. **Data processed or stored overseas:** Atomi (Sydney-built company, but its privacy policy discloses offshore processing with no Australian data-centre commitment — confirmed from getatomi.com/privacy, 7 June 2026); Khanmigo (United States); MagicSchool AI (United States); Diffit (United States — its privacy policy states data is processed and stored there); Quizlet (United States — plus a worldwide perpetual licence over user content); Photomath (offshore cloud servers, countries unnamed); Brisk Teaching (AWS-hosted, region undisclosed); Curipod (Norway-based vendor, hosting location not published — request its data processing agreement before any school deployment). For Atomi, individual families are unlikely to consider offshore processing a barrier; schools with strict data-sovereignty requirements should confirm arrangements before signing. For Khanmigo and MagicSchool AI, the practical guidance: avoid uploading identifiable student data. Use MagicSchool for teacher-only workflows. For Khanmigo student use, treat it as a personal device tool rather than a school-deployed system unless your privacy team has reviewed and approved the data transfer arrangements. The same rule extends to the newer teacher tools. Brisk and Diffit are teacher-login products — Diffit collects no student identifiers at all, which is the right model — but anything you feed them leaves Australia. Curipod and Quizlet do take student responses and student accounts, so they need a proper privacy review before classroom use, not after. This is not legal advice. Consult your school's privacy officer or legal adviser before deploying any external tool with student data. --- ## FAQ ### Which AI tool is best for HSC revision? Atomi. It is the only tool in this roundup with content mapped directly to the NSW HSC syllabus — and to VCE, QCE, WACE, and SACE as well. Khanmigo is excellent for building conceptual understanding but does not map to Australian state exams. Use Atomi for syllabus-specific revision. Use Khanmigo when you need to understand why something works. ### Can my school deploy MagicSchool AI safely? Yes, with clear boundaries. MagicSchool AI is designed for teacher use, not student use. Data is stored in the United States. The safest approach: teachers use it for lesson planning, rubric writing, and administrative drafting — they do not upload student names, student work, or identifiable student data. Within those limits, Privacy Act risk is manageable. Schools should review their own privacy policies and consult their privacy officer before any formal deployment. ### What is the difference between Atomi and Khanmigo? They are different tools serving different purposes. Atomi is a content library mapped to Australian state syllabuses — it gives students video lessons and quizzes for specific exam dot points. Khanmigo is an AI tutor that guides students through problems using the Socratic method — it asks questions rather than giving answers. Atomi is better for exam preparation. Khanmigo is better for building deep understanding of concepts. For Australian senior secondary students, use both: Atomi for the exam content, Khanmigo for the subjects where you need to genuinely understand the material. ### Can Australian students use Khanmigo? Not easily. Khanmigo's learner and parent plans require a US billing address — as of June 2026, direct subscription is restricted to US residents (confirmed from the Khanmigo FAQ). Most Australian families cannot sign up directly. Free teacher access may be available through a Microsoft-supported programme covering 44-plus countries, but we could not confirm Australia is included — check support.khanacademy.org. Where it can be accessed, Khanmigo's content follows the US curriculum, so it is not mapped to Australian state syllabuses; the conceptual content — maths, science, economics — still translates well.
