How Recess works
From professional expertise
to a school session.
Companies contribute their expertise and cover the cost. Recess prepares the learning and brings schools together to take part.
A company creates a session with us.
A company chooses a topic and a presenter. We work with them on the content, activities and student guide, then rehearse before going live.
Schools book and join live.
Approved schools book a date from their dashboard. The presenter leads several classes at once, with each teacher supervising their own group.
Students keep learning afterward.
Students keep a guide or project kit. Each school receives its class summary, and the company gets a report on participation and learning responses.
For schools & learning communities
Bring professionals
into your classroom.
We work with professionals to turn their experience into clear explanations, practical activities and time to reflect. Each session connects school subjects with situations students may encounter in life and work.
- Free to take part. Companies cover the cost for schools and students.
- Easy to fit into the school day. 45 minutes, a class code and a connected device for each student.
- Supported delivery. Recess manages the session. A teacher supervises each participating class.
We’ll email you to arrange approval and dashboard access for your team.
For schools & studentsAlways free.
For your school
Useful insight for the next class.
A class summary brings together the topics, activity results and student reflections. Teachers can use it to plan what to revisit, continue the discussion or share the learning with families.
Your class’s summary is private to your school.

Inside a session
Learn from a professional.
Take part as a class.
Real examples. Hear how a professional approaches real situations and learn from their experience.
Interactive activities. Make a choice, test an idea or solve a challenge, then compare the results.
Practical resources. Use a guide or project kit to build on the session, individually or in a group.
For companies
Help students prepare
for life beyond school.
Your team can show students how school subjects are used in work and everyday decisions. Fund a session and give your employees a practical way to contribute to education, with Recess organising the delivery.
Share expertise with students.
An employee helps create the session, then presents once to several classes. We prepare the materials and help them rehearse.
Make a visible contribution.
Your company is credited on the session and student resources. Schools see who made the learning possible, and your presenters are recognised for their contribution.
See participation and feedback.
See how many students took part, how they responded to activities and whether they felt able to explain what they learned. Combined results help you report on your community contribution.
Recess handles the planning and delivery. Content design, school outreach, bookings, presenter rehearsal, live support and reporting are included.

A few useful answers
Good to know.
Is this live or pre-recorded?
Live. A professional leads a 45-minute session with practical activities, polls and clear explanations. Schools join at the scheduled time. Students receive a guide or project kit to use afterward.
Who can join?
School students join through a verified school or learning institution, with a teacher or authorised adult supervising. We confirm suitable topics and participation requirements with your school before booking. You can find the age and supervision requirements in our learner-safety policy. Read our learner-safety approach.
How does our school get started?
Register your school and we’ll email you to arrange approval. Once approved, your team can use the school dashboard to book suitable sessions. You can return for as many sessions as you like, subject to dates, availability and suitability for your school. There is no subscription or per-session fee.
What does the company need to provide?
Choose a topic your team knows well and nominate an employee or specialist to present it. Your company funds the session and provides their preparation and presentation time. Recess develops the activities and materials, coordinates schools and manages delivery. Independent expert fees, if needed, are agreed separately.
What information does a company receive?
A report on attendance, activity results and students’ reflections on their understanding. Results are combined across participating classes, without student-level records or contact details. Small-group results are limited or omitted to protect privacy. Reflections describe students’ own feedback, rather than a test of long-term learning.
What is included in a repeat session?
The same session delivered live on a new date, using the approved content and resources. The USD $299 price includes school coordination, live support and a fresh report. Your company provides the presenter and their time again. New topics or substantial content changes are quoted separately.
