Inspiring motivation and learning through gaming
Gamify is an alternative learning arena where games are used as a tool for both social and academic learning.
By building on the participants’ interest in gaming and combining gameplay with structured learning activities, we see that their sense of mastery, engagement, and motivation to learn through games also carries over into their educational development.
Who is Gamify for?
Gamify is designed for students from 5th to 10th grade who have, or are in the process of receiving, an expert assessment from the Educational and Psychological Counselling Service (PPT) recommending the use of an alternative learning arena.
Gamify provides a supportive environment that focuses on social interaction, building a sense of mastery, and fostering curiosity and motivation for learning.

What will you learn in Gamify?
In the core curriculum it states that “Schools must facilitate learning for all students and foster each individual’s motivation, curiosity, and belief in their own mastery.”
This principle of adapted education is emphasized as a key foundation for school practice.
We believe that games are a natural tool for providing education tailored to the students who come to us.

For Schools
To get started, the student must have an official decision approving the use of Gamify as an alternative learning arena.
This decision is made based on an expert assessment from the Educational and Psychological Counselling Service (PPT) and is important to ensure quality and structure in the student’s educational pathway.
We support the school throughout this process to help ensure an informed decision that serves the best interests of the student.
