About School
School started as a couple of small tools built at home, to help one kid practice multiplication tables and French verbs without it feeling like homework. Getting things right unlocks a mini-game — a little reward for a little effort. The site keeps growing with new tools over time, all built with the same idea: learning works better when it's a bit fun.
Make practice feel like play, so kids actually keep going.
SiderisX
School is built and maintained by SiderisX, a small software studio based in Canada that also makes HomePlanner, a family organizer. Questions or ideas are always welcome.

SiderisX Founder · Software Architect · Dad
Over 25 years as a developer, with the last 5 working as a software architect. Throughout my career, I have served clients in several countries — including work as a consultant for IBM Canada — on projects of all scales, from startups to enterprise.
I have team leadership experience forged in Scrum Master, Tech Lead, and management roles. I adapt well to different environments and continuously strive to grow technically and personally.
I was recognized by the Microsoft MTAC (Microsoft Technical Audience Contributor) program, which brings together professionals who present Microsoft technologies at conferences, blog posts, and events. I also worked as a programming instructor, which sharpened my communication with groups and multidisciplinary teams.
I speak and write Portuguese and Spanish as a native, and English and French at an advanced level. School is what happens when that background meets a kid with homework.
