How to Claim a Free Year of Claude for Teachers

If you teach K-12 in the United States, Anthropic is handing out a full year of premium Claude at no cost. No credit card, no payment info, no hidden charge. This share walks you through the four steps to get it turned on.

The free year includes higher usage limits, top-tier reasoning, terminal coding agents through Claude Code and Cowork, built-in curriculum connectors, and a zero-data-training promise, so your prompts and files are never used to train the models. Access runs 365 days from the moment you verify.

What You Need

• You must be a verified US K-12 educator or part of a US school district. This offer is not open to anyone else.

Tutorial

1. Open http://claude.com/solutions/teachers. That address is the official Claude for Teachers page.
2. Click Verify now. That button is the one that starts the educator check.
3. Complete the verification step. Anthropic confirms you are an eligible US K-12 educator before the plan is switched on.
4. Wait for Claude for Teachers to activate. The source says it happens immediately, and your 365 days start counting from the date you verified.

Wrapping Up

Once you are through verification, you have a full year of premium Claude, including Claude Code and Cowork, at no cost. Bookmark the page if you want to send it to a colleague who teaches in a K-12 district. Enrollment stays open until June 30, 2027, so there is time, but the sooner you verify, the sooner your year starts.
