TL;DR: Customize your LearnSpark experience by setting your location, measurements, and teaching hours. SparkAI uses these details to write lessons with local spelling, find nearby activities, and keep your schedule organized.
LearnSpark is designed to support families and educators all over the world. We want your learning to feel personal and relevant to your real life!
To make sure everything feels right, SparkAI adapts to your specific location and schedule. It handles everything from how words are spelled to which local landmarks appear in your stories. Setting these up is the first step toward a great LearnSpark experience.
How to Update Your Profile and Location
You can update your preferences at any time. This is very helpful if you are moving, traveling, or just want to change how things look. Great job keeping your profile current!
Click on Settings and then select Profile (or your profile icon in the navigation bar).
Find the Country and Region menus to choose where you are located.
Select your preferred Measurement System (Metric or Imperial).
Choose your Currency and Language settings.
Click the Save button to update your account.
⚠️ Heads up: Changing your region will change how future lessons are written. Double-check your measurement settings to make sure your science experiments and weather forecasts stay accurate!
Configuring Your Teaching Hours
Setting your Teaching Hours is a fantastic way to stay organized. It tells the platform when your "school day" happens so you don't feel overwhelmed by your to-do list.
Click on the Preferences tab within your settings.
Find the Teaching Hours section.
Select the days of the week you plan to teach.
Enter your preferred start and end times for those days.
SparkAI uses these hours to suggest the best times for lessons. This keeps your calendar realistic and manageable for your family. That's it — you're all set!
How Personalization Works
When you update these settings, SparkAI recalibrates your LearnSpark experience in several ways:
Spelling & Grammar: It switches between UK English (like "colour" or "maths") and US English (like "color" or "math").
Measurement Systems: It uses Metric (meters, kilograms) or Imperial (inches, pounds) for STEM lessons and science experiments.
Cultural Relevance: SparkAI includes local history, native wildlife, and regional sports in stories to make learning fun and familiar.
Compliance: Your activity logs will match regional homeschool rules, making it easier to create PDF reports in the Performance tab.
💡 Good to know: Setting your location correctly helps SparkAI update your student’s mastery profile with the right regional standards and skills!
Worldschooling and Adventures
Your location settings are critical for the Adventures page. This feature is all about "worldschooling" and making your education local to where you are right now.
When you assign your current location and next destination, the Discover tab finds activities in that area. SparkAI picks these based on your family values, your children’s interests, and even the weather.
The platform refreshes this list on an intelligent schedule based on how long your trip is. As seasons change or new events pop up, your list updates automatically so you always have fresh options!
Frequently Asked Questions
Does changing my settings cost SparkAI credits?
No, changing your preferences or location settings does not cost any credits. Credits are only used for generative actions like creating new lessons, updating mastery profiles, or planning adventures.
What if I travel to a different time zone?
You can update your Home Location in settings or directly on the Adventures page. SparkAI will automatically adjust local suggestions and travel times to match where you are staying.
Can I set different teaching hours for different students?
Teaching hours are set at the account level to show when you are available. You can still adjust individual student schedules manually within the Weekly Schedule view.
How many students can I manage with my account?
A basic account ($29/month) is great for one or two students. If you have a large family or are a "power user," you can add packages of 150 extra credits for $10/month to keep SparkAI generating at your pace!
What if my specific country isn't listed?
If your country isn't there, choose the one with the most similar spelling and measurements. Many users choose UK settings for metric units and British spelling if their specific region isn't available yet.
