# Smrt English

> English curriculum and teaching platform for schools, made in Canada. Ready-to-teach courses, practice that marks itself, and the tools to place, teach and report on every class, for universities and colleges, language schools, K-12 schools, companies, public programs and tutors.

Smrt English combines more than 60 English courses across nine tracks (from first words to academic English and exam preparation, with levels mapped to CEFR) with one platform for everyone in a school: Smrt Study for students (browser and iOS/Android app), Smrt Classroom for teachers (classes, assignments, gradebook, attendance) and Smrt Dashboard for school leaders (teachers, classes, placement tests, reports). Larger programs can have courses built to their own syllabus. The head office is in Vancouver, Canada.
