# Claude for Teachers

> On July 14, 2026, Anthropic launched Claude for Teachers, giving verified K-12 educators in the United States a full year of free premium access to its AI assistant. The offer bundles teaching skills built with learning scientists, a Learning Commons connector carrying academic standards for all 50 states, nine classroom tool integrations, and FERPA-aligned data terms. It arrives amid a scramble among Google, OpenAI and Khan Academy for the American classroom, and reopens an old debate: what happens to a generation that grows up asking instead of searching.
