Grade K
Genesis, once through, in a year. You read the passage aloud, tell it back in ordinary words, learn a short verse together, ask three questions, and do one small thing. Twenty minutes, three times a week, and no marking.
Grade K-2
This teaches reading the way the research says reading works: sounds first, taught explicitly, in a careful order. Schools call it systematic synthetic phonics. Clara teaches each sound out loud and plays the blending games with your child that a good reception teacher would. Your child then shows they can read by tapping the right printed word. The question is spoken aloud; the answer words never are, because reading them is the whole point. Every word your child is asked to read uses only sounds already taught. We check that mechanically when the course is built, so it is a promise rather than a hope.
Grade K
You run this one, and we hand you the words. Every lesson opens with a short story you tell out loud and ends with your child tapping a picture to answer, so nothing has to be read or typed at any point. It is kindergarten math done with things a child can pick up: blocks, buttons, fingers, pictures on a screen. By June they can count to 100, count out and compare groups of things, add and subtract by acting out little stories with real objects, say why 14 means one ten and four ones, and name the basic flat and solid shapes wherever they turn up. First grade assumes a child arrives already counting and comparing, and already sure that numbers stand for real amounts of real things. That is the year this builds.
Grade K-2
You run one small hands-on exploration a week from a script, and we tell you what to grab, what to say, and what to listen for. Clara then checks in with your child on screen for five minutes, out loud. The learning happens at the sink and on the sidewalk with you next to them. The app's job is to keep the record of it.
Grade K-2
You run one small activity a week from a script, and we tell you what to grab, what to say, and what to listen for. Clara checks in with your child on screen for five minutes, out loud. By June you own a shelf of things your child actually made: a story book they authored, a family constitution, working maps, and a sealed time capsule.
Grade 1
One long journey, told in order, across a school year. Egypt, the sea, the desert, the mountain, forty years of waiting, and into the land. Each week you read the passage aloud from the King James, tell it back in plain words, learn one short verse, ask three questions, and do one small thing. From week 11 you also add a drawing to a paper map of the journey that runs along a wall. Twenty minutes, three times a week, and nothing to mark.
Grade 1
A full year of first-grade math in short daily sessions, run by you rather than by a textbook. You get a script to read and your child answers by tapping, so no teaching background is needed. Your child starts by counting objects and comparing groups, learns what the equals sign actually means, gets quick at adding and subtracting within 10 and then within 20 using a make-a-ten trick, comes to see two-digit numbers as bundles of tens and ones, compares and adds them, measures things, reads clocks, and finishes by sorting data and cutting shapes into equal pieces. Every new idea begins with objects your child can touch, counters and straws and bundles, before a single number or symbol shows up on paper.
Grade 2
Judges, kings and prophets in a year, ending on the promise the Old Testament is leaning toward. Each week you read a short passage aloud from the King James, tell it back in the plain words printed under it, learn one verse, ask three questions, and do one thing. At seven the doing starts to include a pencil: copying the verse, writing a sentence, making a list. Twenty to thirty minutes, three times a week.
Grade 2
A full second-grade math year built for one adult and one child at a kitchen table. Your child moves from understanding what the digits in a number like 347 mean, to adding and subtracting two-digit numbers with regrouping, to meeting multiplication before it has a name in the form of equal rows and columns. Then it goes outward: measuring with a ruler, telling time to five minutes, counting coins, naming shapes by their sides and corners, splitting a pizza fairly into thirds. Every idea arrives first as something they can hold, blocks or coins or paper shapes or a ruler, before it becomes a written number sentence. By June your child can read an unlabelled word problem and work out for themselves which kind of math it is asking for.
Grade 3-5
Your child makes real art with what's in the house, learns to look at famous works long enough to have opinions, and ends the semester hanging their own five-piece exhibition. You supply paper, pencils and wall space.
Grade 3
The whole Old Testament in a year, in order, with your child now reading some of it out loud themselves. Thirty-nine books in thirty-six weeks: the law, the history, the poetry and wisdom, and the prophets. A paper timeline goes up on a wall in week 1 and gets added to all year. In the last week your child walks it from creation to Malachi and tells the whole story without help.
Grade 3
This is a full-year, 5-day-a-week reading and writing course for third grade. Your child will read short stories and nonfiction pieces, learn to back up every answer with the exact sentence that proves it, and end up writing three kinds of pieces: an opinion, an informative report, and a personal story. Nothing here is abstract grammar drilling — grammar gets taught right inside whatever they're reading or writing that week. By spring, they'll be pulling facts from two different sources, comparing them, and writing multi-paragraph pieces on their own, which is exactly what 4th grade assumes they can already do.
Grade 3
This is the year multiplication and division actually click - not as a set of memorized facts, but as pictures your child can draw and reason from. Everything else in the year - measuring area, comparing fractions, reading a graph - turns out to be that same equal-groups picture wearing a different hat. By June, your child should be able to look at a rectangle, a clock, or a bar graph and say "oh, this is just groups of things again."
Grade 3-5
You'll run one small music activity a week from a script: clapping games, kitchen instruments, listening hunts. Your child tells Clara about it in a five-minute check-in. By the end they hear more in any song than most adults do.
Grade 3-5
Three short play sessions a week from a written plan: games, not workouts. You play along or referee, then log the minutes. If it doesn't sound fun, we wrote it wrong.
Grade 3
This is a full year of science that adds up to one idea: things change, and you can figure out why if you look for patterns and back up your claims with actual measurements instead of guesses. Your child pushes and pulls real objects, tests magnets, grows a bean plant, measures traits, looks at fossils, and keeps a weather log — all with stuff you already have at home. By the end they've used four words — force, pattern, trait, evidence — in eight totally different situations, which is the actual point: not memorizing facts about frogs or magnets, but getting comfortable saying "here's what I measured, here's the pattern, here's what I think it means."
Grade 3
This is a full year of social studies that answers one question from a bunch of angles: how do people organize their lives together, and why does it look different from place to place? Your child starts with groups they already belong to — family, class, town — then learns to read maps and globes, compares communities around the world and across time, meets local and national government, and learns basic economics like trade and scarcity. It ends with them picking a real problem in their own town and writing an actual proposal to fix it, using everything from the year. There's no test-and-forget structure here — later units keep reusing words and skills from earlier ones, so gaps show up fast and get noticed.
Grade 4
The life of Jesus told once, in the order it happened, taking each episode from whichever of the four Gospels tells it best, and then Acts. Your child reads part of the passage aloud, tells it back without looking, and writes four or five sentences of it in a notebook they keep all year. That notebook asks one question three times, in week 1, week 20 and week 36: who do you say that I am. There is no quiz and nothing to mark.
Grade 4
This is a year of teaching a fourth-grader to back up what they say about a story or article with actual lines from the text, not vibes. They learn to figure out what a story is really about underneath the plot, to shrink a long article into a true short version instead of a retell, to notice when a chart is technically true but misleading, and to write three kinds of paragraphs — opinion, informative, narrative — that stay on topic. By the end they should be able to look at a mixed bag of reading and writing tasks and figure out on their own what kind of thinking each one wants.
Grade 4
This is a semester of health for a 4th grader, taught by you, 50 minutes a day, 5 days a week. It's not about grades or gym class — it's about your kid learning to think of their own body as something they run and take care of. They'll figure out why food, sleep, and movement matter (not for looks, but for what those things actually do inside them), how germs spread and why washing hands matters even when no one's watching, the safety rules for fire, streets, bikes, being online, and medicine, and finally how to name feelings, calm down, and be a decent friend when things get hard. Nothing here touches weight, appearance, or sex — it stays squarely in "how do I take care of this body and these relationships" territory.
Grade 4
This is the year your child moves from "school arithmetic" into "real math." They'll learn to name numbers up to a million, add and subtract big numbers reliably, multiply and divide multi-digit numbers using a picture-based method that actually explains why the standard steps work, and then take that same understanding into fractions and decimals. It ends with converting units, measuring angles, and sorting shapes by their properties instead of by "what they look like." Every new skill starts as a drawing — boxes, bars, a number line — before it turns into digits on a page, so your child always has something to point at when they get confused.
Grade 4
This is a full year of hands-on science built around one big idea: energy moves from place to place, and you can trace where it goes. Your child starts by smashing marbles into dominoes and rolling balls down ramps, then uses that same "energy went somewhere" thinking to understand waves, light, sound, how eyes and ears work, why cactus spines and mole eyes look the way they do, how rivers carve canyons, and finally why a dam or a wind farm is never a free lunch. It's mostly kitchen-table materials — flashlights, mirrors, string and cups, rulers, a tray of sand or dirt for a mini streambed — with a fair number of "why does it do that" arguments your child has to back up with actual evidence, not just a hunch.
Grade 4
This is a year-long tour of the United States done region by region — Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, West — plus a final unit on how state and federal government fit together. Your child will read real maps and charts as evidence (not just look at pretty pictures), meet named indigenous nations as governments that still exist today, and figure out why a place with rocky soil built ports and cities while a place with rich soil built farms. By the end they should be able to look at any U.S. region and explain why the land, the people, and the government there look the way they do.
Grade 5
The letters and the wisdom books, and then the whole Bible seen at once.
Grade 5
This is a full year of 5th grade reading and writing. The whole year rests on one habit: when your child claims something about a story or an article, they have to back it up with the text's exact words, not a vague memory of what it said. From there they learn to compare two characters, notice how the narrator's viewpoint limits what a story tells you, see how chapters or stanzas build on each other, and pull facts from two different articles on one topic. Then the second half of the year turns around and uses everything they just read as material for their own writing — a story, an opinion essay, and an informative piece. Nothing gets read once and dropped; the same stories and articles come back again and again as the source material for later units.
Grade 5
This is a full year of fifth-grade math built around three ideas: how our number system extends into decimals, how fractions behave when you combine or split them, and how measurement and space help you model real things like boxes and graphs. Every new skill gets a picture first — blocks, an area drawing, a number line, a fraction bar — before your child ever sees the shortcut version. By June, they should be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals and fractions without hesitating, and plot and read points on a graph. That's the runway sixth grade assumes they already have.
Grade 5
This is a year of science built around one big idea: everything is made of tiny particles you can't see, and those particles don't just vanish — they move around, combine, and rearrange, but the total amount stays put. Your child uses that one idea to explain four very different things over the year: why sugar water still weighs what it should, why rust is different from melting ice, where a tree's mass actually comes from, and why some water is drinkable and some isn't. The last quarter of the year zooms out to Earth as a whole system, then out further to the sun and stars, reusing the same vocabulary the whole way. Almost everything is testable with stuff already in your kitchen — a scale, a balloon, sugar, a flashlight.
Grade 5
This is a year-long American history course that starts before Columbus and ends with the Constitution. Your child will learn that North America was full of established nations before Europeans showed up, then trace why Europeans crossed the ocean, how colonies grew up differently region by region (including the ugly reality of slavery and indentured servitude), why the colonies broke from Britain, how the war was actually won, and how the country built — then rebuilt — its own government. By June they should be able to read a real historical document and make an argument from it, not just recite dates.
Ratios to Pre-Algebra, life and physical science, civics-anchored history, plus Spanish, music, art, PE, practical life skills and research literacy.
Grade 6
Nine weeks learning how to read the different kinds of writing in the Bible, nine weeks on the five covenants that hold the Old Testament together, then eighteen weeks in the life of Christ read slowly with both of those in hand. Your student reads the King James passage themselves, talks through three questions with you, and writes something nearly every week in one notebook kept all year. The writing is the assessment. There is no quiz.
Grade 6
This is a full year of 6th grade reading and writing built entirely on free material — old public-domain stories, folktales, speeches, and open nonfiction, so you won't be buying a textbook or novel set. The whole year trains one core habit: don't just tell me what you think a text means, show me the exact line that proves it. From that habit, your child learns to tell the difference between what a story is about (topic) and what it's actually saying (theme), to read figurative language as a choice the author made on purpose, to compare two accounts of the same event, and to write three kinds of essays — argument, informative, and story — each one reusing skills from the reading units instead of starting from scratch.
Grade 6
This is the year your child learns to think in ratios instead of just counting differences — "for every 3 of these, 2 of those" instead of "3 more of these." That one idea (a multiplicative relationship between two quantities) gets used all year: to divide fractions, to make sense of negative numbers, to write algebra expressions, to compute area and volume, and finally to describe a set of data. By June they should be comfortable with signed numbers, one-step equations, decimals in all four operations, basic area/volume/surface area, and describing a data set with center and spread — not as nine separate topics, but as one idea applied nine times.
Grade 6-8
Your kid learns to cook, mend, fix, clean, and manage money and time: by actually doing it in your house, one real skill a week, with you as safety net. The final exam is them running the household for a day while you relax.
Grade 6-8
Four half-hour sessions a week from a written plan the student mostly runs themselves: games and cardio, bodyweight strength, a sport sampler, and finally a training plan they design. You log the minutes and occasionally hold a stopwatch.
Grade 6
This is a full year of Earth science that keeps circling back to one idea: a small handful of causes — gravity, heat moving around, matter cycling through different forms — explain almost everything Earth does, from why the moon looks different each night to why hurricanes and earthquakes happen where they do. Your child starts by watching patterns in the sky, then works down into rock and inside the Earth, then out into water and weather, and finishes by using all of it to think about real disasters and real human choices. Every hands-on activity uses stuff you already have in the kitchen or garage. By June they should be able to look at almost any Earth event on the news and explain, in their own words, what's actually causing it.
Grade 6
This is a year-long tour of the ancient world — early farmers, then Mesopotamia, Egypt and Kush, India, China, Greece, and Rome — ending with Rome's fall. Your child learns why cities and kings and laws showed up where and when they did, not just names and dates. Along the way they practice reading old documents skeptically (who wrote this, and why should I believe them?), reading maps and timelines, and writing short arguments backed by evidence. Every religion or belief system in the course is studied the way a historian studies it — what people believed and how it shaped their laws and daily life — never as something to practice or adopt.
Grade 6-8
Clara talks with your child in Spanish and English for about twenty minutes a day, using more Spanish as they cope. She never teaches grammar: when they say it wrong she says it back right and keeps talking, which is how your child learned English. Middle school pacing: more games, more culture, shorter sessions than the high school course. By June they can introduce themselves, survive a pretend shop, tell a small story, and argue about which game is best, in Spanish.
Grade 7
Thirty-six weeks in the New Testament after the Gospels, in roughly the order it happened: the church spreading out of Jerusalem, Paul's three journeys with his letters set down where he actually wrote them, the letters written from custody and under Nero, and nine weeks in Revelation read as the letter to seven real towns that it is. Your student does the reading. Most weeks end in something written.
Grade 7
This is a full year of 7th grade English built around one question your child will keep answering in harder and harder situations: is this argument actually any good, and why? They start with short opinion pieces, move to a novel, then myths, poems, a play, and end the year writing their own research paper. The same four moves show up every single time — find the claim, check if the evidence actually backs it up, notice that other people see it differently and say why, and answer the other side instead of ignoring it. By June they should be able to pick up something they've never seen — a speech, a poem, a website — and do all four moves without being told to.
Grade 7
This is a semester of health class built around one idea: the body is a system your kid runs every day, not a shape to judge. First it covers the daily basics — food, sleep, movement, cleanliness. Then it moves outward to protecting that body from fires, germs, traffic, and online strangers. Then it tackles nicotine and vaping head-on, using the biology from unit one to explain why those products hook people. It ends by pulling together the "who do I tell" and "how do I say no" skills from the earlier units into one flexible habit your kid can use for anything — a bad friendship, a stressful week, a stranger online, a family problem. By the end, the goal isn't that they memorized facts about health. It's that they have a couple of concrete routines (read a label, trace how germs spread, refuse pressure in four steps, name a trusted adult) they can actually run when it matters.
Grade 7
This is the year math stops being "follow the recipe" and starts being "here's the rule, and here's why it's true." Your kid will spend the fall pinning down what "proportional" really means and learning to compute with negative numbers, fractions, and decimals the same way. In winter they turn that into algebra — expressions and equations they can solve and explain. In spring they point all of it at geometry (scale drawings, angles, circles, 3D shapes) and finish with probability and sampling, which is really just ratios and rates wearing a different hat. By June they should be able to look at a table, a graph, or a word problem and immediately ask "is this proportional?" and "what's actually equal to what here?" — and answer both.
Grade 7
This is a listening course, not a performing course. Your child doesn't need an instrument, doesn't need to read music, and won't be graded on singing or playing anything. What they're learning is how to listen closely — to hear that a piece got louder, or that a tune repeated with a twist, or that a drum sound and a string sound are made in totally different physical ways — and say specifically what they heard and when. It covers music from Africa, East Asia, Latin America, Europe or the Middle East, and traces a thread from old written music through recordings to electronic music. It ends with them picking five songs and defending, in writing, why those five belong together.
Grade 7
This course teaches your kid that search results, library catalogs, and social feeds don't hand them "the truth" — they hand them the output of a system with rules, and sometimes money, behind it. Over a semester they learn how those systems rank things, how to tell what kind of source they're looking at (someone who was there vs. someone summarizing vs. an encyclopedia pointing elsewhere), and a concrete four-step method (SIFT) for checking whether something is actually trustworthy without falling for slick design or a scary headline. It ends with them picking a real question they care about, researching it for real, and writing up not just what they found but how much they trust each source and why. The payoff isn't trivia about the internet — it's a habit of leaving the page to check, instead of reading harder.
Grade 7
This is a year of biology built as one long chain, not eight separate topics. Your child starts by looking at real cells under a household microscope, then zooms out step by step: cells make organs, organs make body systems, cells run on the photosynthesis/respiration energy story, ecosystems run on that same energy story at a bigger scale, populations live inside ecosystems, heredity explains why individuals in a population differ, and natural selection explains how that variation changes a population over generations. By June they use all of it together to build an evidence argument for how two species are related. The payoff is that biology stops being a pile of vocabulary and starts being one story they can trace from a single cell to a whole ecosystem.
Grade 7
This is a year-long trip around the medieval world, region by region: the Byzantine Empire, the Islamic caliphates, West African trading kingdoms, China, Japan, the Maya and Aztec, and finally Europe from its post-Rome collapse into the early Renaissance. In every region your child asks the same three questions: who's in charge and why do people accept it, how do goods and ideas actually move from place to place, and how does what people believe organize daily life. They read real historical documents (translated, age-appropriate) and practice telling a reliable source from a shaky one. Religion shows up throughout, but it's treated the way a historian treats it — as a force that shapes law, trade, and power — not as something to believe in or reject personally.
Grade 7
This is a semester where your child learns to actually see art, not just look at it. They start by making the basic building blocks — line, shape, value, texture — with a pencil and paper, then learn a simple four-step way of talking about any piece of art (describe it, dig into how it's built, guess what it means, decide if it works). Once they can do that, they use it to look at real art from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe, and end up understanding why a Japanese woodblock print and a Renaissance painting are both "right" — just playing by different rules. It ends with them picking their five best pieces from the whole semester and writing about them like a real artist would.
Grade 8
How the two testaments fit together, taught by watching the New Testament writers read the Old.
Grade 8
This is an eighth-grade English course that gets kids ready for the reading and writing they'll hit in high school. Instead of just reading stories and writing reports, your child learns to notice HOW a writer builds a piece — why an author reveals a secret early, why an essay compares instead of lists, why two people can argue honestly to opposite conclusions using the same facts. They'll write an argument essay, an explainer essay, a short story, a historical fiction scene, and a research paper, revising each one more than once. By the end they can read a play, a historical novel, or a pair of dueling op-eds and explain what the writer did on purpose and why.
Grade 8
This is the year math stops being "follow the steps for this kind of problem" and starts being "figure out what kind of problem this even is." Your child will learn to handle really big and really small numbers with exponents, meet numbers that never end or repeat (like square roots that don't come out clean), solve equations that can honestly have no answer or infinite answers, understand what a function actually is, prove shapes are the same or similar instead of just eyeballing it, use the Pythagorean theorem, work with slope and straight-line graphs, solve two equations at once, and read real scattered data for a trend. By June this feeds directly into Algebra I, which assumes all of it is already solid — not something to re-teach.
Grade 8
This is a full year of physical science built around one idea: everything — matter, heat, sound, light, electricity — is made of tiny particles moving and interacting, and the total amount of "stuff" (mass, energy, or charge) never actually disappears, it just moves around or changes form. Your child will do kitchen-table labs (baking soda and vinegar in a sealed bag, ropes and slinkies, homemade circuits), draw a lot of dot-and-arrow diagrams, and gradually learn to explain everyday things — why a hot spoon burns your hand, why a bird can sit on a power line, why a prism makes rainbows — using that one particle idea instead of guessing. The math stays simple: no equation shows up without a picture or table first, and nothing goes beyond what a calculator and a bit of algebra can handle.
Grade 8
This is the year your child learns how the United States actually came to be — not as a highlight reel, but as a story with real costs and real disagreements that were never fully settled. They'll start with Indigenous nations and colonial charters, move through revolution and constitution-writing, watch the country expand west while slavery expands with it, then follow the whole thing into civil war and the messy attempt to rebuild afterward. Along the way they're doing real detective work with primary sources — letters, laws, speeches, court rulings — and learning to ask "who benefited, who paid, and how do we know?" instead of just memorizing dates. The civics side isn't a separate topic; it's the same question — who gets power, and who can take it away — asked again and again from 1600 to 1877.
Four transcript-ready years: lab-equivalent sciences, two years of Spanish, and grades derived from mastery.
Every full-year course is one transcript credit, a typical year here carries 6-8.
Grade 9
Two halves. Weeks 1 to 18 place all sixty-six books: what each one is, roughly when it was written, where it sits in the story, and how the canon was recognized. Weeks 19 to 36 take Christian doctrine in the traditional order and ask your student to state each teaching in their own words, from the passages it rests on, in writing. It is a survey and a first course in theology, nondenominational, King James.
Grade 9
This is a full year of 9th grade English: short stories, a novel, a Shakespeare play, nonfiction and persuasive writing, a research paper, and a final project pulling it all together. Your child learns to read closely and ask "who's telling me this and should I believe them," to argue with real evidence instead of just volume, and to write narrative and persuasive pieces of their own. By June they should be able to pick apart a messy argument, defend a claim with sources that actually hold up, and talk about a book like they've thought about it, not just read it.
Grade 9
This is a year of health class built for one kid and one parent, not a classroom. It's about how to actually run your own body and make your own calls: what to eat and why, how to train and sleep, what stress is doing to you and when to get help, how alcohol and nicotine actually work on a teenage body, what to do in the first sixty seconds of an emergency, and how to tell a real health claim from a marketing pitch. It skips sex ed entirely — where topics brush up against puberty or body systems, it stays strictly on the factual, non-sexual side. By the end, your kid should be someone who reads a label, judges a claim, and doesn't freeze in a crisis.
Grade 9
This is 9th grade Algebra I, done at home with an adaptive app doing most of the explaining and problem-serving, and you doing the parts that need a real person: talking through why something works, checking whether your kid actually understands or is just pattern-matching, and grading the written justifications. Over the year your child moves from straight-line relationships through systems of equations, inequalities, exponential growth, quadratics (parabolas), a return to solving those quadratics, piecewise/tiered-rate functions, and finally real messy data. By June they should be able to look at a table, a graph, an equation, or a written scenario and move fluently between all four — and explain, in writing, why the method they picked was the right one, not just get the right answer.
Grade 9
This is a course about money decisions, not money facts. Your child will build one imaginary (or real, your call) household budget in week one and then keep adding to that same household all semester — a paycheck, then a budget, then savings that grow over time, then a credit card and some insurance, and finally a full plan where all of it has to work together. By the end they should be able to look at a job offer, a savings goal, a credit card statement, or an insurance decision and actually reason through it instead of guessing. The app grades the calculations automatically. Your job is mostly reading what they write and asking "but why" — that's where the real learning shows up or doesn't.
Grade 9-12
Physical education without the pretending. Nothing here is taught through a screen and there are no quizzes — each week gives your child a plan of what to actually go do, five sessions of about 30 minutes. The year starts with walking and simple bodyweight moves, moves indoors for strength and conditioning through the winter, spends the spring on sport skills and speed, and finishes with lifetime activities and a training plan your child writes themselves. Four fitness check-ins (weeks 1, 9, 18, 27 and 36) turn 'they did PE' into numbers you can put on a transcript.
Grade 9
This is a full year of high-school biology, built to be taught one-on-one at home with an app doing daily practice questions. It starts at the molecular level — water, sugars, proteins, enzymes — and works up through cells, energy, genetics, evolution, ecology, and finally the human body, ending with a capstone project where your child picks a real biological case and defends an argument about it out loud. Every unit leans on the vocabulary and models from the units before it, so this is not a course where you can teach chapters in any order and expect it to hold together.
Grade 9
This is a year-long geography course built around one question: why does human life look so different from place to place, and what actually causes that — not what's the capital of where. Your child learns a small toolkit of ideas (climate, resources, colonialism, borders, trade) in the first third of the year, then spends the rest of the year using that same toolkit on six real regions of the world: the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and Asia. By the end they should be able to hear a news story about a conflict or an economic crisis somewhere and explain the physical, economic, and political reasons behind it — not just recite facts about the place.
Grade 9-12
Most American language classes produce students who can conjugate and can't speak, for one structural reason: one teacher, thirty kids, so nobody gets conversation time. Clareza doesn't have that problem. Clara talks with your child one-to-one, every day, and never sighs. She starts at about 10% Spanish and works up as they cope. She never teaches grammar — when they say it wrong, she simply says it back correctly and keeps talking, which is how you learned your first language. Each week is something they'll be able to do, not a rule they'll be able to recite, and progress is measured by an independent check that only counts what they actually did in conversation.
Grade 10
Two thousand years of the church, told with its failures in rather than left out.
Grade 10
This is a full year of computer science that starts with no assumptions about coding and ends with your child writing real Python programs and arguing, with evidence, about how computing affects people. They'll learn to think through problems step by step before ever touching code, then use Python as the notation for that thinking. Along the way they'll handle real data, learn how the internet actually moves information around, see how systems get attacked and defended, and finish by using everything to investigate a real-world tech-and-society question — like whether an algorithm's unequal outcomes are a bug or something worse. Every tool is free and runs in a browser, so there's no software to buy or install.
Grade 10
This is a full year of 10th grade English built around one question: how much do people get shaped by their families, their communities, their history — and how much do they push back? Your child starts with short stories and works up to a whole novel, a Shakespeare play, real speeches and essays, and finally their own research paper. By the end they're picking a claim about a book or play, defending it in writing, and then defending it out loud when someone tries to poke holes in it. It's a lot of reading and a lot of writing, and it builds — nothing here is a standalone unit you do for two weeks and forget.
Grade 10
This is the year your child learns to prove things about shapes instead of just measuring them. They'll figure out what actually makes two shapes "the same" — not eyeballing it, but showing a slide, flip, turn, or resize connects them. From there they build up to writing formal proofs about triangles, then reuse that same logic for circles, coordinate geometry, and 3D shapes. Along the way, trig and geometric probability show up not as brand-new topics but as the same ideas from earlier in the year wearing new names. By June they should be able to look at a diagram and tell the difference between "this looks true" and "this is proven."
Grade 10
This is a talking-and-listening course, not a report-writing course. Your child learns to figure out what a specific listener already knows and cares about, build a spoken case for that exact person, and control how they sound and look while saying it. Every speech gets recorded and sent to a real person — a grandparent, an aunt, a sibling — instead of being given to a classroom. Then your child watches their own recording and grades it against a specific checklist instead of just going with "I think that went fine." By the end, they're building an argument that answers pushback out loud, delivering it to someone real, and comparing what they thought of their own performance to what that person actually thought.
Grade 10-12
Year one asked your child to move regularly. Year two asks them to train, which is a different thing: following a plan that gets harder on purpose, taking easy weeks deliberately, practicing one element of a skill instead of just playing, and eventually writing the plan themselves. The last nine weeks are the point of the whole course — they choose one measurable goal, write an eight-week program, run it, revise it from their own notes, and test it. A student who can do that does not need another PE course, at school or afterwards. Nothing happens on the screen: each week is a plan of what to go and do, and you log the minutes as you already do for year one.
Grade 10
This is a full year of high school chemistry, done with kitchen equipment instead of a lab. Your child measures real stuff, separates a real mixture, weighs gases they can't see, and eventually runs a titration with red cabbage juice as an indicator. By June they should be able to look at an unfamiliar substance or reaction and reason about what's happening at the level of atoms and molecules, not just recall a fact about it. The math is real (moles, molarity, gas laws) but it's always in service of explaining something they can watch happen on the counter.
Grade 10
This is a full-year world history course for 10th grade that skips the "march through centuries region by region" approach. Instead it asks one big question over and over, in different costumes: when things connect — trade, ideas, disease, power — who ends up ahead and who ends up behind, and did anyone actually plan it that way? Your child will read real historical documents (letters, laws, propaganda posters, speeches) and argue from them, not just memorize dates. By the end, the goal is that they can look at a historical situation they've never seen before and say which of the course's recurring patterns explains it — and where that explanation runs out of road.
Grade 10
This is a course in looking hard at art and arguing about it with evidence, not a course where your kid paints or draws. Over a full year they'll learn the specific words for how a picture or sculpture is built — line, shape, color, composition, medium — and then use those words to figure out why a Greek statue, a stained-glass window, a Monet, and a Picasso each look the way they do, given who made them and who paid for them. Every single work they study is a real object in a real museum's online collection, so they're always looking at an actual high-resolution image, not a textbook thumbnail. By the end, they should be able to walk into any museum, stop in front of something they've never seen before, and write or say something specific and defensible about it — not "I like it" but "here's what's happening in this piece and here's why."
Grade 10-12
Year one taught your child to speak. Year two teaches them to be worth listening to. The method has not changed and that is deliberate: Clara talks with them one-to-one, never explains grammar, and when they say something wrong she simply says it back correctly and keeps going — the way you learned your own first language from the adults around you. What changes is the demand. She speaks much more Spanish, she pushes for four sentences where one used to do, and she will disagree with your child on purpose so they have to defend a position. Progress is still judged by an independent examiner that only counts what they actually demonstrated in conversation, and this year that examiner is grading against B1 and B2 can-do statements.
Grade 11
What Christians believe, why, and the strongest arguments against it. Your student states each objection at full strength before he is allowed to answer it, builds the historical case for the resurrection the way a historian builds one, describes five other worldviews the way their own adherents describe them, and ends by writing down where he actually stands. Every week ends in writing. There is no quiz and nothing to score.
Grade 11
This is an 11th-grade year of American literature and writing that runs from the Puritans to today, and it treats writers as people making arguments, not just telling stories. Your child will read Winthrop and Edwards, then Jefferson and Paine, then Douglass and Emerson, then a 20th-century novel or play, then contemporary poetry, and finally spend six weeks building their own research paper out of texts read across the whole year. The through-line is rhetoric, how writers try to move an audience, not just what they say, and by June your child should be able to pick apart an argument they've never seen before and build one of their own with real sources behind it. It's reading-heavy and writing-heavy, and it's meant to get them ready for AP-level or college-level work next year.
Grade 11
This is a semester of writing workshop for 11th grade, minus the workshop full of other kids. Your child will write real poems, a real short story, a real personal essay, and then go back and revise all three into a final portfolio. Instead of grading by gut feeling ("this sounds nice"), they learn to name a specific problem in their own draft, point to the exact line causing it, and decide a fix, the same three-step move, reused across every genre. Your job is mostly to read their drafts and ask a short list of specific questions, not to judge whether the writing is "good."
Grade 11
This is the algebra course that takes "graphing parabolas" from Algebra I and blows it out into six more families of functions, polynomials, rational expressions, radicals, exponentials/logs, trig, and finally sequences and statistics. The thread running through all eight units is one question asked over and over in new clothes: given an equation, what does the graph look like, and given a graph or a real situation, what's the equation? Your child will get a lot of practice moving between an equation, a graph, a table, and a word problem, for each of these families, and by the end they should be able to look at data or a situation and say "that's exponential, not linear" or "that needs a hole, not an asymptote" and explain why. It's a full year of building one increasingly large toolbox rather than eight unrelated topics.
Grade 11
This is a year of physics that uses algebra, not calculus, to answer a chain of questions: how do things move, why do they move that way, what happens when they crash, where does the energy go, how does energy travel as a wave, what is light, and how does electricity actually work. Along the way your child builds real things, rolling carts, pendulums, circuits from batteries and bulbs, a mousetrap-powered car, and uses those to test predictions they make on paper first. The point isn't memorizing formulas; it's being able to look at a situation nobody has shown them before and reason out what should happen, then check it against what actually does. By June they should be able to explain why a car crumples in a crash, why a circuit with two bulbs behaves differently in series versus parallel, and defend a design choice under pointed follow-up questions.
Grade 11
This is a year-long walk through psychology as a real science, not a personality-quiz version of it. Your child learns how psychologists actually test claims about the mind, then uses that same skeptical toolkit on the brain, the senses, learning, memory, growing up, and mental health. By the end they should be able to read a headline like "Study Finds Coffee Rewires Your Brain" and tell you exactly what it does and doesn't prove. It's secular, evidence-based, and skips human sexuality content entirely, this is about how psychologists know things, not a health class.
Grade 11
This is the second half of the American history story, from 1877, right after Reconstruction ends, up through today. Your child will learn how a country of robber barons and sweatshops turned into the country we live in now, and why the same fights (how much power should the federal government have? who gets counted as a full citizen? should America get involved overseas?) keep coming back in new clothes every twenty or thirty years. They'll read real documents, strike testimony, propaganda posters, Supreme Court opinions, and practice building an argument from evidence instead of just reciting what happened. By the end they should be able to look at a news story today and say "oh, this is the same argument we had in 1895" or "this is a new kind of problem."
Grade 12
A year of Christian ethics for a student who leaves home in about twelve months. It teaches a method for deciding rather than a list of answers, because the list runs out in the first semester away. Nine weeks build the method, twenty-seven run it through work, money, speech, the body, sex, marriage, family, justice, war, medicine, death, and the question of what to do with one life. The work is written argument, most weeks a page or two, several times three pages, and thirteen of them in a case brief format learned in week 5.
Grade 12
This is senior-year English built around one question: when someone has to justify a choice, what are they actually appealing to, fate, the law, reason, God, other people's opinion of them, or just themselves? Over the year your kid reads a Greek tragedy, Shakespeare, a satire, foundational American political writing, an existentialist novel, and a pile of speeches and op-eds, and they write about all of it, not just "what happened" essays but essays that take a real position and have to survive someone disagreeing with them. By spring they run their own research project from scratch, and the year ends with a novel-plus-current-events unit that asks them to use everything at once. It's the same amount of reading and writing you'd expect from a serious 12th grade English class, this just makes the connecting thread visible instead of leaving it implicit.
Grade 12
This is the year that takes everything your child learned about functions in Algebra II and trig in Geometry and welds it into one toolkit. Instead of learning "the quadratic chapter" then "the exponential chapter" as separate worlds, they learn to ask: given this data or this real situation, which kind of function actually fits, and how would I prove it? Along the way they pick up the unit circle version of trig (so sine and cosine work for any angle, not just triangle corners), vectors and matrices for quantities with more than one part, polar and parametric ways to describe curves, and they finish with conic sections and a first taste of limits, the exact ideas a calculus class opens with. By June they should be able to look at a new problem and reason out loud about which tool fits, not just execute a memorized recipe.
Grade 12
This is the non-calculus path to a real senior-year math credit, statistics and data science instead of Calculus. Your child learns to summarize data, spot when a relationship between two things is probably real versus coincidence, design a study that can actually support a "this causes that" claim, and use probability to say how confident anyone should be in a result. Every technique gets done by hand on a tiny dataset first (8-10 numbers), then redone in a free spreadsheet on real government and survey data, Census, CDC, World Bank, that kind of thing. It ends with your child running their own actual study from scratch: pick a question, collect or pull real data, analyze it, and defend in writing and out loud what the results do and don't prove.
Grade 12
This is a one-semester high school philosophy course, and it has one real job: teaching your kid to rebuild someone else's argument in its strongest possible form before they're allowed to attack it. That's it. Everything else, the famous thought experiments, the dead philosophers, the debates about God and free will and trolleys, is that one skill applied to a new question every few weeks. First they learn what makes an argument logically solid versus just persuasive. Then they turn that tool on "can we know anything for certain" then "is the mind just the brain" then "what makes an action right." Nobody wins the debates in this course, your child learns to state both sides so well that a fair judge couldn't tell which one they actually believe.
Grade 12
This is a full year of environmental science that treats the subject as a set of connected systems, not a list of facts to memorize. Your senior will use biology and chemistry they already have to figure out how energy moves through a food web, why population and consumption aren't the same thing, how the greenhouse effect actually works at the molecular level, how scientists tell "caused by humans" from "just a coincidence" and how to weigh real tradeoffs in energy policy where there's no single right answer. Almost every unit ends with them collecting real data, from a backyard, a local pond, a park, or a window box, and writing an argument from that evidence, not repeating a conclusion you gave them. By June they should be able to look at a contested environmental claim and tell you specifically what evidence would need to exist to back it up, and what's missing.
Grade 12
This is a one-semester economics course for a senior. It builds one way of thinking"everything has a real cost, and that cost is what you gave up, not what you paid", and applies it three times, at three different zoom levels: personal decisions, markets, and then whole countries and the global economy. By the end your child should be able to read a news story about jobs, prices, or trade and tell you which parts are facts you could check and which parts are opinions dressed up as facts. That last skill, separating "what's true" from "what's fair", is the thing this course cares about most, more than any formula.
Grade 12
This is a government course, but not the "name the three branches" kind your kid already sat through in middle school. It's about how power actually gets used, checked, and fought over, reading the Constitution and the arguments around it like legal documents instead of a list of facts, then testing that against real fights (should the president be able to send troops without Congress? does a state get to ignore a federal law it hates? does free speech have limits?). It ends with your kid picking a real, contested policy issue and writing the strongest possible case for BOTH sides, not picking a winner. The whole course is built to make them uncomfortable with easy answers on purpose.
