In Letters & Devotion a sixth grader takes Bible: How to Read the Bible, and the Life of Christ (72+ hours), Reading, Reasoning, and Writing (33+ hours), Ratios, Relationships, and the Number System (35+ hours), Earth and Space Systems (37+ hours) and The Ancient World (37+ hours), plus PE, Spanish and Home Base for grades 6-8. Every course is published in full.

Bible: how to read it, and the life of Christ

Four units, 72+ hours: What Kind of Book Is This, Covenant, and the Life of Christ in two parts. A 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.

English language arts

Eight units: Reading With Evidence, Theme vs. Topic, Figurative Language and Author's Craft, Writing Arguments, Reading Across Two Texts, Writing to Inform, Narrative Craft, and a year-end Cumulative Synthesis. It follows the Common Core State Standards.

Mathematics

Eight units: Ratios and Rate Reasoning, Dividing Fractions, the Decimal System, Negative Numbers and the Coordinate Plane, Expressions with Variables, Equations and Proportional Relationships, Area, Surface Area and Volume, and Statistical Distributions.

Science: Earth and space

Nine units, from modeling the Sun-Earth-Moon system and the solar system through rocks, plate tectonics, weathering, the water cycle and weather, to natural hazards. One unit, The Earth God Made, is the Creation unit. Science follows the Next Generation Science Standards for everything else.

The ancient world, and the rest of the week

Eight units: What Makes a Civilization, Mesopotamia, Egypt and Kush, Ancient India, Ancient China, Ancient Greece, Rome, and Legacies. Physical Education, Spanish (¡Empecemos!) and Home Base: Practical Arts and Life Skills are separate courses for grades 6-8.

What this is not

It is a lot of courses. Sixth grade has about eight, and you decide which to take, which to hold back and how many to do in a day.
It is a screen-based curriculum apart from PE and the table portion of the Bible lesson.
A child who is behind is not stuck. The course slows down, and you can set courses to a lower grade.

What grade(s)? (so their first lesson is ready)

Before your child starts: what we collect and why

We collect only what it takes to teach your child: the first name and sign-in you choose, their answers and progress, and their chat with Clara (written by Anthropic's AI, read aloud by OpenAI). Nobody trains AI on it or sells it, and you can see or delete it any time. You create your child's account yourself. Ticking the box below is how you, as the parent, give consent.

Read what we collect and why

Your consent is needed before we collect anything from your child, and we collect nothing without it. You create your child's account yourself; they never sign up alone.

What we collect from your child: the first name and sign-in you choose, their answers, time on lessons and progress, and their chat with Clara. Used to run the lessons, build their transcript and show you how they are doing.
Who else handles it: Anthropic writes Clara's replies from the chat, the lesson and your child's first name. OpenAI turns lesson text and Clara's replies into the read-aloud voice. Spoken answers are turned into text on our own server and never sent anywhere. Our email provider sends you reports. Nobody sells your child's data or uses it for anything else.
Your rights: see everything collected from your child, have it deleted, or stop further collection at any time, from your account or by emailing our support address. If you refuse the sharing above, Clara cannot teach, so the service cannot run. Chats are deleted after 30 days.
Safety: if your child writes something suggesting they may be hurt or in danger, we email you and the owner of Letters & Devotion the same day.

Ticking the box below is how you, as the parent, give that consent. Full details, including how long we keep each thing: Privacy Policy (version 2026-10-09).

I am this child's parent or guardian, and I agree to the above.

Free for 30 days. No card. When the free days end, lessons pause unless you choose to subscribe, $29 a month for every child in the family. Nothing is ever charged without a card.

By continuing you agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy.
