What is Squid Academy?

Squid Academy is an esports education platform for schools, colleges, universities and youth organisations. It turns students' interest in gaming into structured learning through teacher-ready esports curriculum, a dedicated learning management system (LMS) and team-based competition. Institutions can deliver a purposeful esports programme without requiring teachers to be experienced gamers.

For secondary schools, Modern Sport Pathways & Competition uses gameplay, defined team roles and guided activities to develop communication, teamwork, leadership, digital citizenship and responsible gaming habits. Students can explore esports careers beyond playing, including broadcasting, content creation and event production, while educators assess work and track progress.

For universities and colleges, The Business of Esports covers the industry's commercial and operational side. Play The Game provides progression-based training for esports centres and organised youth settings. Mind Your Game adds student wellbeing resources, while the Esports Educator Certificate Program helps staff deliver esports education with confidence.

The Squid Academy platform brings lesson materials, class and cohort management, assignments, feedback and tournament delivery together. Institutions can choose self-directed implementation or guided support, with staffing and coaching options where available.
