ClassBank is Alpha Anywhere’s reward system designed to motivate students by recognizing academic progress, good behavior, and goal achievement. It allows your child to earn “Alphas,” which can be redeemed for prizes, while also giving parents tools to support positive behaviors outside of the apps.

Why It Helps:

  • Creates excitement and personal fulfillment for your child

  • Encourages consistency in completing academic tasks

  • Strengthens parent involvement in learning

Alpha Anywhere families can get started in Classbank by visiting the course in Circle which explains how to get your account setup.
