Everything meant for you, bound to a single account.
Vellum holds many kinds of work: a year of AP European History, a private daily briefing, a squad’s training block, a results board only a league’s coaches can see, a review game a class plays together. Each one is a unit; each is scoped to the people meant to open it. You sign in once — and the shelf that appears is yours.
Not a catalog. A shelf.
Most learning platforms hand everyone the same catalog and invite you to browse. Vellum works the other way around. There is no public stack of courses to scroll through; what you can open is simply what has been granted to you — by a school’s email domain, by something you bought, by an invitation, by a seat your team holds. The effect is less like a storefront and more like a personal library, where every leaf on the shelf is there because someone meant it for you.
A few of the things Vellum is already holding.
Same platform, same sign-in — very different shelves.
Coursework
Pre-Algebra
A gamified studio for the bridge to algebra — endless generated practice across seven regions of an illuminated skill map, worked with manipulatives you actually move: number lines, fraction bars, a balance scale, algebra tiles. Earn XP, hold a daily streak, master each skill.
Geometry
An interactive geometry studio — angles, triangles, right-triangle trigonometry, the Pythagorean theorem with three dissection proofs, congruence proofs, and area and perimeter.
Calculus
Watch the secant tip over into the tangent — derivatives and integrals you can move. Endless generated practice on an illuminated skill map, with XP, streaks, and mastery.
Linear Algebra
Two tools you work by hand: reduce a matrix by dragging one row onto another — with a picker that suggests the exact elimination multiplier — and multiply two matrices by dragging a row onto a column and entering each dot-product term. Exact fractions throughout, with a sandbox and generated practice.
AP European History
Two halves of a year-long AP Euro review: narrative chapter lessons with custom diagrams, and a study guide of hundreds of terms with a type-the-term retrieval drill and exam-style prompts.
AP U.S. History
A final-review companion built as five themes across twenty-seven eras — political, economic, religious, and social threads — with a timeline and a see-the-definition, type-the-term retrieval drill.
AP Art History
Click directly on a masterwork to identify what matters — iconography, period markers, technique, religious context. Every clickable region was drawn and captioned by hand.
Economics
An interactive explorer of supply and demand — and aggregate supply and demand — where you toggle the determinants behind each curve, run scenario presets, and watch the new equilibrium settle.
Biology
A diagram studio — click the real structures on a hand-built SVG: label an animal cell, name the chambers of the heart, trace a vertebrate tree of life, and scrub a dividing cell through the stages of mitosis.
CS Game — live review
A teacher generates a code, the class joins on their laptops, and everyone races through a Kahoot-style round where speed counts toward the score. The AP CSA and AP CSP question banks — 360 questions in all — are built in.
Computer Science
A Belmont-Hill-only archive of computer-science teaching material: instructor demos, exemplary student work, and AP CSP Create Task submissions across CSA, CSP, and Intro CS. Every Python and Java example runs in the browser; Scratch projects play inline.
Athletics
ISL & NEPSAC Tennis
Every match in the league — scores, ISL and NEPSAC standings, head-to-head matrices, and predictions — assembled for the coaching staff and published to no one else.
Stretching and Workout Plan
A live, coach-driven training studio for a squash or tennis squad — warm-up, strength circuits, animated on-court drills, and dynamic and static stretching. The coach runs the timers with spoken cues, and every athlete's screen follows in lockstep.
How a unit reaches you.
You sign in
One identity across everything on Vellum — Google, Microsoft, or an email address.
Vellum checks what's yours
A school email domain, a purchase, an invitation, a team's seat license — each is a way a unit can be granted to you.
Your shelf appears
Only what's scoped to you. Nothing public to wander into; nothing of yours left exposed.
Some units are views, not just reading.
A unit does not have to be a chapter you read. It can be a view computed for you — your team’s progress through a training block, a league board only the coaches can see, a leaderboard a class fills in as it plays. The same account that holds your reading holds the visualizations made for you, and shows them to no one else.
