Q: Select app access and require password for the rest.

My son has special needs and requires an iPad for school. However, he also has G rated apps on the iPad which we do not want him to use in school. Is there an app that would allow us to select only apps for use and require a password for other selected app; even G rated apps.

iPad, iOS 8

There are some limits you can access in Settings > General > Restrictions that may help you block some apps or access, but thats about it. There is no specific feature to do what you want. You can used guided access to lock him into a specific app, but only one. You can block many of the build in apps in restrictions and delete the 3rd party apps you don't want him to use, then block the installation of new apps. That's about all the options I can think of.
