FAQ

  • We have more than one student. Do we need to buy the course again?

    No — one purchase covers your whole family. Just email us at [email protected] with each additional student's name and email, and we'll enroll them at no charge. Each student gets their own account, their own progress, and their own certificate.

  • What exactly is included in each basic course?

    Every basic course, whether you buy one topic or the full curriculum bundle, includes the online reading lessons, a quiz after each lesson, an open-and-go printable workbook with vocabulary and bonus worksheets, a 15-question final exam, full answer keys for parents, and a printable certificate when your student passes. One purchase, everything included. There’s nothing extra to buy to complete the course. Advanced courses are sold separately.

  • What grades are these courses for?

    Our basic courses are written for grades 8–12. Younger students (8th–10th) may want to read the lessons with you, while older teens can complete a full course on their own. The bonus worksheets in each open-and-go workbook give 11th and 12th graders a real challenge. If your student is about to earn their first paycheck, open their first bank account, or drive their first car, they’re ready. Our advanced courses are college-level and best for 11th and 12th graders, or any motivated student who has completed the matching basic course. They’re designed to be done independently, with in-depth readings, challenging quizzes, and a comprehensive final exam.

  • How long does each course take?

    As long as you want it to — that’s the point. Each basic course is built as a one-week unit: one reading lesson a day for three days, vocabulary and bonus worksheets on day four, and the final exam on day five. But there’s no timer on anything. A motivated teen can finish a basic course’s lessons in a couple of sittings, or you can spread it out to one lesson a week. Add the printable workbook alongside the online lessons and a single course becomes a fuller unit study. Advanced courses are much more rigorous, with four to five in-depth readings, a challenging quiz after each, and a 50-question final exam. Most students finish in three to six weeks working at one or two readings a week, but they’re fully self-paced, so your teen can take as long as they need.

  • What is included in the advanced courses?

    Each advanced course includes four to five in-depth online reading lessons, about twice the length of our basic lessons and written at a college level. After each reading is a 10-question quiz with full answer explanations, so your student learns why each answer is right, not just whether they got it. Before the 50-question final exam, a Key Terms review page brings together the formulas and concepts from every lesson. Your student earns a printable certificate when they pass. Advanced courses are online only. There’s no printable workbook, and quizzes are graded automatically, so your teen can work through the course independently.
