The full power of WordPress
Whether your students need to tinker in a real-world WordPress environment, build an online portfolio or store, or write articles in a professional-level tool — WordPress.com offers the full power of WordPress, without the technical hassles of managing infrastructure.
Free for students
Once approved for the program, participating students get free hosting for one year, no credit card needed.

After graduation, students can keep their site online at an affordable price — and if they decide not to renew a paid plan, their site can be preserved on a free plan with all their content intact (posts, pages, comments, and media files).
"I love the ‘forever’ nature of this. My students can build a real portfolio that they can actually keep and use after the course ends."
