One learner • many starting lines
No single grade label can describe a mind.
A learner may reason deeply in philosophy, model forces in physics, and still need deliberate support in decoding or fluency. The Academy treats those as separate facts—not a contradiction and never a verdict on the learner.
AgeShapes examples, interface, safety, and presentation.
EvidenceShapes depth, sequence, support, and the next challenge.
ReadinessCan differ across every domain and change with new proof.
One learner. Four honest starting points.
