What ELEMENTAIRE does

Élémentaire (elementaire.org) is a free, web-based interactive educational platform serving French elementary school students in grades CP through CM2 (ages approximately 6-11). Authored and maintained by Frédéric Untz, a professeur des écoles (elementary school teacher) based in Courcouronnes, France, the platform provides curriculum-aligned interactive exercises in two subject areas: French (conjugation across multiple tenses, declensions, dictées, vocabulary) and mathematics (mental and written arithmetic, number sense, measurements). The site is organized into sections including Exercices (Exercises), Cahier (Notebook), Statistiques (Statistics), Étoiles (Stars), and Galerie (Gallery), with user identification and inscription flows enabling progress tracking.

The platform is built on a JavaScript-enabled web architecture requiring browser-side scripting, with URL-routed exercises organized by grade and topic (e.g., /exercices/francais/conjugaison/present/1ergroupe). It operates as a non-commercial personal educational initiative with no disclosed monetization, advertising, subscriptions, or data sale; there is no mobile app, API, or SDK. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer via organic search and word-of-mouth within the French education community, with the platform optimized for educational French-language keywords such as soutien scolaire and exercices de français.

The business model is freemium in structure but functionally free: all content is accessible without payment, there are no pricing tiers or paid features, and the site is maintained without external investment, parent company, or institutional ownership. Target users are elementary students seeking personalized academic support, with parents and teachers as secondary users. The platform is operating and actively serving content but is not structured as a commercial enterprise; it functions as a public-good resource.
