GET THE PAPERWORK →69% of teachers rate Mission.io better on value for class time than ALL the other approved edtech in their schools.
Spring 2026 Teacher Experience Survey, n = 100 (teacher ratings).
“I lost count of resources I have been introduced to that I end up using once or twice... Mission.io is one I have been using consistently since I made my account in 2021.”
Priceless
“They truly love the experience and the joy on their faces when they complete a mission is priceless.”
One of them called it priceless. On a pricing page. We’ll allow it.
Haven’t said a word to all year
“It is SO fun watching students work together (and quickly at that). They speak to kids that they haven’t said a word to all year!”
Giving each other high fives
“The excitement and teamwork when they completed missions was so fun! Students who normally won’t work together were giving each other high fives and asking when the next mission was...”
24 years of teaching
“This is the only thing I’ve used in 24 years of teaching that I love just as much as my students do.”
Beg for a Mission Day
“My students beg for a Mission Day! They love Mission.io and I love that they are so deeply engaged in their learning...”
Nothing beats your own class running a Mission. Share it with three new colleagues and you get another month of every Mission (they each get a free month too). Share again anytime you need more.
Three colleagues. You probably already know which three.
Not required to start
When a whole school runs Missions, making students more capable becomes part of its culture. Our School Advocacy Guide helps you share that with your team and your principal, email already written.
SCHOOL ADVOCACY GUIDE“...anyone who crossed my path at lunch got an earful about how amazing it was. I even sent an email to my whole building encouraging everyone to try it.”
One license gives every teacher every Mission. Your teachers and curriculum stay the same; the impact doesn’t. And every student in every classroom gets a report on how well they did.
Everyone promises these four. We’re the only ones who measure them.
In an independent study of 1,039 fifth graders, students who ran Missions scored significantly higher on content knowledge (g = 0.335, p < .001), gaining about one more percentage point with every Mission(p < .001). The more Missions a class runs, the more students grow.
The study’s cost-effectiveness analysis rated that content-knowledge gain “Highest Value.”
Mission.io meets ESSA Level II standards, as validated by Instructure.
Mission.io is funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences.
Bautista et al. (2026), conducted by Instructure; funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences; cost-effectiveness per the Kraft (2020) framework.
“Our teachers love the reports and find that it allows them feedback that they find useful to improve their classroom...”
FOR DISTRICTS
Your two biggest investments are your teachers and your curriculum. Missions map unit by unit to your adoption, with rollout support and reporting across every school. Priced per K-8 student, by quote.
For teachers in our district, the biggest value lies in how the program aligns with our focus on 3D science, while requiring minimal prep for teachers.
Bring your scope and sequence. We’ll bring the highlighters.
We take student data privacy seriously.
Mission.io fits Title I and Title IV, Part A, among other federal funds, and your district decides. We’ll help you find the right one, and the W-9, DPA, and purchase paperwork are ready when you are.

Yes, we’ll fill in the vendor packet with the tiny boxes.
A faculty Mission is free and fits in one staff meeting. Twenty adults talking each other through a crisis is the rare PD hour nobody spends on their phone.
RUN A FACULTY MISSION →Ask the awkward ones. We’ve heard “what’s the catch” before.
Yes, for good. Any teacher can create one, there’s no credit card, and it never expires. Every feature and every student report stays on; what rotates is the set of Missions you can run. Our research funding covers free accounts, because free classes run Missions we’re actively improving. Your class helps make every Mission better, so jump in.
Nothing switches off. Your account moves to a rotating set of Missions for your grade, kept free by our research funding. Share Mission.io with three new colleagues any time, and all of you get another month of every Mission.
Every Mission for every teacher and every class in the building, specialists included, plus onboarding, faculty training, and a report on every student generated after every Mission. Price your school on our pricing page. PRICE YOUR SCHOOL →
