A free version of ChatGPT built for teachers

Today we’re introducing ChatGPT for Teachers and making it free through June 2028.

Of the 800 million people who use ChatGPT each week, teachers are some of the earliest and most active adopters. Three in five ⁠(opens in a new window)already use an AI tool, and those that use it weekly report saving hours each week—giving them more time to spend with students. They also play a critical role in helping students and families understand how AI can support learning.

ChatGPT for Teachers is built for both educators and school leaders. Teachers get a secure workspace to adapt materials for their classrooms, get more out of prep time, collaborate with peers, and get comfortable using AI on their own terms. School and district leaders can bring their teachers and school staff into one account with the same education-grade privacy, security, and compliance programs that protect student data and support FERPA requirements.

To ensure broad access, ChatGPT for Teachers is free for verified⁠(opens in a new window) U.S. K–12 educators through June 2028. We’re also releasing an AI Literacy Blueprint⁠(opens in a new window) that gives school leaders and policymakers a clear path for supporting teacher-led, responsible AI use.

This work builds on our partnership with the American Federation of Teachers⁠ to support teacher-led innovation and equip 400,000 K–12 educators with practical AI skills; our collaboration with Ministries of Education globally, including Estonia⁠ and Greece⁠; and our broader work to make our tools more responsive to academic needs⁠ across both K–12 and higher education⁠(opens in a new window), supporting both educators and learners⁠.
