Curriculum
The whole curriculum, in the open.
Preschool through 12th grade, 36 weeks a year, with every unit mapped to the California standards it covers. Every lesson guide is free to read, so you can look at exactly what your child would learn before you sign up.
How we teach
Teach first, then practice
Each week, every subject has a lesson guide: a short script for you, a worked example, questions to ask, and what mastery looks like. Then practice follows: trail games, homework your child can type, write, or print, and printables.
Four ways in
Every lesson comes as Read it, See it, Hear it, and Try it, one tap apart. When a child hits a wall, there’s always another way to show it.
Each child at their own level
Children are placed subject by subject. A 7th grader can take Algebra I for math and stay on grade for everything else, and each child gets their own daily plan.
Proven, then kept
From preschool through 8th grade, skills climb a ladder: Seen, Practiced, Verified, Retained. A skill counts as learned only after a short solo check, and again 14 or more days later.
Reading built on sounds
Early reading follows phonics in order: letter sounds and blending, then digraphs and blends, then vowel teams, with narrated tools for silent e, word families, syllables, and more.
Math you can see
Number lines, ten-frames, base-ten blocks, fraction bars, and coordinate planes, all interactive and read aloud, so kids see why the math works before they memorize it.
A check-in every week
Every Friday, a one-page check-in for each child: the days and hours recorded, which lessons got taught, the skills they proved, what slipped, and next week’s plan. Attendance, hours, and portfolio records build themselves as you go.
Grade by grade
Each year below lists its subjects, units, and the California standards each unit serves: the California Common Core for math and English, NGSS for science, and the History–Social Science standards. Open a grade to see its year.
