Give your AP teachers a shared place to assign practice, review student work, and plan follow-up lessons. Start with the teachers who need accounts, then bring a quote and the requested documents to your school or district’s review process.

Students complete their teacher’s assignments with free accounts. List the courses and teachers you want to include, then choose quantities for one teacher, an AP department, or several departments together. ### Choose independent study separately Sponsored student accounts are optional for independent study beyond teacher-led assignments. Include them when your school wants to fund students’ use of the study library on their own. Teacher and student volume discounts are calculated separately in checkout. ### Plan your department rollout Identify who will receive the setup link and assign purchased accounts. Choose the teachers, courses, and start date for your first assignments. Teachers review scores and feedback, then use classroom results to plan follow-up practice. ## Annual teacher pricing - 1–4 teacher accounts: $129 each per year. - 5–24 teacher accounts: $99 each per year. - 25+ teacher accounts: $69 each per year. For example, five teacher accounts cost $495 per year. Students complete those teachers’ assignments with free accounts. Optional sponsored student accounts add a separate cost. ## Organize your California district review California’s Department of Education offers AI guidance with vendor review questions about data use, security, accessibility, and privacy agreements. Use that checklist to bring your instructional plan and your district’s document requirements together before introducing Fiveable to students. - Describe the AP courses, teachers, and assignment workflows you want to support. - Ask your privacy team what it needs to know about data use, retention and deletion, and model training. - Give your technology team the security and breach response documentation it requests. - Review accessibility needs and ask your office which privacy agreement or vendor forms it requires. Prepare one packet with your quote, planned classroom use, and the documents requested by your district. The CDE guidance is a review resource; your district determines its approval and purchasing process.

Checkout calculates the annual price and lets you download a quote for your business office. Include the courses, quantities, and planned start date. Quotes are valid for 30 days, so check the date before your office issues a purchase order. ### Gather your district’s review packet Ask your office which documents it needs, such as a signed W-9, privacy agreement, accessibility information, or security documentation. Include your district name and its required forms. The document request form opens an editable email draft; send that draft to submit your request. ### Complete the purchase and assign accounts Your office can pay by card or arrange a purchase order using the quote ID. After Fiveable receives and reviews your PO, we send a setup link while your business office arranges payment. If you pay by card or bank transfer, we send the link after payment is confirmed. Use it to assign purchased accounts when teachers are ready. ## Districts we’ve worked with We’ve worked with these districts on student privacy paperwork. - Corona-Norco Unified School District - San Marcos Unified School District - San Jacinto Unified School District - Rocklin Unified School District - San Ramon Valley Unified School District - West Covina Unified School District - Lodi Unified School District - West Contra Costa Unified School District - Modesto City Schools [Request a copy](/schools/purchasing?state=CA&document=dpa&source=agreements#document-request) ## How teachers use Fiveable in AP courses - [AP World History](/teachers/ap-world-history): Plan source analysis, historical reasoning, and written-response practice for world history classes. - [AP U.S. History](/teachers/ap-us-history): Connect unit practice with document analysis and evidence-based writing in U.S. history classes. - [AP Human Geography](/teachers/ap-human-geography): Build practice around geographic concepts, maps, data, and explanations of spatial patterns. ## California school purchasing questions ### Do we need to purchase an account for every student? Students complete teacher-led assignments with free accounts. Purchase teacher accounts for the teachers who will assign work. Sponsored student accounts are optional for independent study beyond those assignments. Choose those quantities separately in checkout. ### What should a California district review before classroom use? Start with your district’s privacy, technology, and accessibility reviewers. The CDE AI guidance provides vendor review questions about collected data, model training, retention, deletion, security practices, and privacy agreements. Request Fiveable’s supporting documents and let your district determine what it needs for approval. ### Can we request our district’s privacy documents? Yes. Request documents for your district through the purchasing form. Include your district’s privacy agreement or vendor forms so Fiveable can review your office’s requirements. ### Can a California school purchase Fiveable with a PO? Yes. Download a quote from school checkout, then have your business office submit its purchase order with the quote ID. Quotes are valid for 30 days. After Fiveable receives and reviews the PO, we send a setup link while the office arranges payment. Your district’s approval and purchasing procedures still apply. ## Explore - [AP Classes](/ap-classes) - [Practice Questions](/practice) - [Pricing](/pricing) - [FAQ](/faq) ## About This Document Canonical Fiveable pages are available as Markdown at the same path plus `.md`. - [llms.txt](https://fiveable.me/llms.txt): index of Fiveable's sections and URL patterns - [llms-full.txt](https://fiveable.me/llms-full.txt): complete subject and unit listing - [MCP server](https://fiveable.me/mcp): call Fiveable as tools instead of fetching pages (`https://fiveable.me/api/mcp`) - [MCP server for AP teachers](https://fiveable.me/mcp/teachers): a teacher's classes, assignments and AP-rubric grading (`https://fiveable.me/api/mcp/teacher`)
