for schools

lowkey type is a twenty-lesson keyboarding curriculum. the lessons move from the home row outward, two or three keys at a time, and cover every letter key plus capitals, numbers, and punctuation. each lesson mixes key drills, real words, and short sentences, and the order follows standard keyboarding pedagogy: accuracy first, speed second.

the practice is adaptive. the site records which keys a student misses or slows down on and offers extra exercises focused on those specific keys, so practice time is spent where it helps most.

what students do is type. there is no chat, no messaging, no user-generated content shown to anyone, and nothing posted publicly. there are no scores compared between students and no social features.

accessibility: the interface is keyboard-driven by nature, scales with browser zoom, and works in light or dark. the finger guide names the finger for each key in text, not by color alone.

the lessons use no advertising, no analytics, and no accounts, and all student progress stays on the device. adaptive practice is generated on the device too, and even the fonts are bundled with the site — during use the browser makes no requests to any third party at all. the privacy page details exactly what is and is not collected.

for your class: lowkey type for schools

a teacher who wants to hand out practice uses lowkey type for schools, a separate classroom app at schools.lowkeytype.com. students never need an account there either.

make a word list, a passage, or a ready-made set such as a Dolch sight-word list, and share it as one link or a QR code — no account needed to make one.
sign in with an email to keep a library and get a permanent six-digit class code: write it on the board once, and choose each week what it shows.
run a class session to watch the class type — by made-up aliases, never names — and see the words and keys the class found hard.

the classroom app keeps a teacher’s saved practices, and a class session briefly holds each alias’s results for the teacher. that is a different promise from the lessons’, so it has its own page: privacy for schools.

for teachers and IT

the teacher guide — the first week, the first practice, the class code on the board.
chromebooks and school networks — nothing to install, and exactly which hosts to allow.
privacy for schools — what the classroom app stores, for how long, and what it never collects.
a printable practice record and the printable charts — for a wall or a binder, free to copy.

the guides answer common typing questions in classroom-friendly language, including what readiness for keyboarding actually looks like and what an ad-free typing site has to leave out.

districts that need the lessons (lowkeytype.com) or the classroom app (schools.lowkeytype.com) allowed through a content filter, or that want documentation for a privacy review, can write to schools@lowkeytype.com.
