Parent Guide
Everything you need to know about REDFACE Research Junior Academy — what your child learns, how we keep them safe, and why cybersecurity education matters.
What Is Junior Academy?
Junior Academy is a free cybersecurity education platform designed for children ages 7-13. It teaches real-world digital safety skills through interactive, game-based missions.
Children learn by playing — answering cybersecurity questions in RPG-style battles, earning XP, collecting badges, and competing on a leaderboard. The content covers password safety, phishing detection, malware awareness, online stranger danger, social media safety, and more.
Built by REDFACE Research, a Singapore-based cybersecurity company with professional certifications including CREST, BSCP, OSWP, and OSEP.
Why Cybersecurity Education?
Develops Critical Thinking
Children learn to question, analyse, and reason — skills that transfer to every school subject. Research shows game-based cybersecurity training improves analytical reasoning by up to 40%.
Builds Digital Resilience
91% of cyber attacks start with a phishing email. Children trained in cyber awareness recognise scams, protect personal information, and make safer choices online — protecting your whole family.
Future Career Advantage
The cybersecurity industry has 3.5 million unfilled positions globally. Average starting salaries exceed $85,000 SGD. Early exposure gives your child a significant head start.
Improves Problem-Solving
Our RPG battle system requires strategic thinking — choosing characters, managing resources, and making decisions under pressure. These are the same executive function skills that predict academic success.
