One parent-led sample
Eight connected blocks, 240 planned minutes including rest, source links, hands-on work, print styling and a paper after-action record. No registration, payment or child data collection.
THE CURRICULUM, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
Build the foundation.
Keep opening the subject.
Age controls safety and permissions. Comprehension controls instruction. There is no single grade that locks every subject together.
What exists, and what you can use now
Genesis + Edition 2.1
The recovered collection contains 50 unit uses and 190 section occurrences representing 178 exact content objects. Repeated instructions and retrieval practice are not deleted simply because they recur. Those counts are not 178 complete, approved daily lessons.
Twelve volumes, 120 blocks
The two matching atlases describe the same 120 blocks, not 240 different lessons. A map becomes learner-ready only after its lessons, assessments, sources, safety, instructor guidance and outputs have passed review.
The full manual, source archives and multi-day workbooks are preserved privately. Only this sample day is included in the public trial. Family enrollment, paid packages and automatic tracking are not operating on these public pages.
Start with a concrete lesson
Groups, meaning and explain-back connects division, multiplication, money, original art and reflection. Use it free with an adult and keep the paper record; online learner records are not active.
Subjects and depth—not an age ceiling
For a six-year-old, begin with the concrete examples below and check the actual prerequisites. Strong understanding opens more depth in that subject; it does not automatically accelerate every other subject. Advanced examples describe the curriculum horizon, not a claim that all later lessons are ready.
Reading, spelling & language
Concrete entry: Hear and map sounds; CVC decoding, handwriting and complete spoken sentences.
Growing depth: Syllables, vowel patterns and exceptions → morphology, syntax, fluent reading, rhetoric and research.
Mathematics & logic
Concrete entry: Count, compose and compare quantities; explain equality and model a solution.
Growing depth: Place value, operations, fractions and measurement → algebra, geometry, probability, statistics and proof.
Physics, mechanics & engineering
Concrete entry: Predict and test a light tabletop lever; measure, draw and explain what changed.
Growing depth: Force, torque, balance, energy and machines → Newtonian mechanics, mathematical models and relativity.
Earth, space & astronomy
Concrete entry: Observe shadows, day and night, weather and sky patterns.
Growing depth: Earth systems and the solar system → gravity, orbital models, cosmology and limits of evidence. Astrology is studied as cultural history, not empirical astronomy.
Biology, anatomy & body systems
Concrete entry: Name body parts and connect ordinary breathing, movement, food and rest.
Growing depth: Cells, lungs, circulation and nervous systems → physiology and mechanisms. Education is not personal diagnosis or treatment.
Movement, wrestling & recovery
Concrete entry: Safe play, balance, wall pushes, controlled sitting/standing, body position and voluntary resets.
Growing depth: Form, leverage and supervised sport → biomechanics and training principles. Wrestling coaching stays with a qualified adult; no choke, joint-lock or combat instruction here.
Philosophy, ethics & Stoicism
Concrete entry: Separate an event from a chosen response; compare fair choices and explain reasons.
Growing depth: Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius alongside Aristotle and other traditions → argument, counterexample, ethics and interpretation, not compulsory belief.
Literature, art, music & theater
Concrete entry: Listen, retell, draw, notice rhythm and discuss characters and point of view.
Growing depth: Banksy, Van Gogh, Leonardo, Kipling, Homer and other appropriately licensed works → source context, composition, visual analysis, performance and original portfolios.
History & geography
Concrete entry: Place people and events on maps and timelines; ask whose account we are reading.
Growing depth: Indigenous, North American and world histories; ancient empires and migrations → evidence, logistics, causes, consequences and competing perspectives. Military case studies are history, not violent rehearsal.
Civics, rights & law
Concrete entry: Discuss community rules, responsibilities, fairness and how to ask for help.
Growing depth: Constitutional structure, civil rights and institutions → primary sources, reasoned debate, governance and parliamentary procedure. Not individualized legal advice.
Economics, enterprise & practical life
Concrete entry: Compare needs, wants, resources, sharing and the cost of a choice.
Growing depth: Saving, budgets and markets → microeconomics, macroeconomics, taxes, businesses and entity types; household projects and service.
Psychology, self-regulation & communication
Concrete entry: Name a feeling, choose a safe reset, listen and explain a different point of view.
Growing depth: Habits, attention, cognitive flexibility, negotiation and reflection → careful study of evidence. No diagnosis, therapy or clinical score from a game.
Chess, strategy & decision-making
Concrete entry: Learn legal moves, take turns, predict and explain a choice.
Growing depth: Changed rules, planning, tradeoffs and OODA → systems thinking and ethical leadership. Rest can also be quiet and unstructured; every break is not a test.
Religion, culture & intellectual history
Concrete entry: Explore what different communities believe and distinguish a story, interpretation and factual claim.
Growing depth: Comparative traditions and historical context → respectful source comparison, philosophy of religion and freedom of belief.
Digital literacy, data & creation
Concrete entry: Care for devices and files, type, label sources and protect personal information.
Growing depth: Documents, spreadsheets, charts and programming → databases, engineering, research and responsible AI use.
How we decide the next useful task
Challenge first
Ask for a fresh example, an explanation and a different representation. Record independence and any prompting. A correct answer alone is not comprehension.
Adjust one competency
If secure, introduce a twist or transfer. If unstable, check the nearest prerequisite, model it concretely and try a varied example. There is no timer that forces repetition of mastered work.
Revisit after time
Interleave an earlier idea in a new lesson and return after sleep without notes. Parent or instructor review separates Practice, Demonstrated, Applied and Retained. Finishing a page or running a clock never awards mastery.
The source mastery rule calls for at least 90% weighted evidence, three strong independent observations, transfer, teach-back and secure prerequisites. This is the Academy’s instructional policy, not a standardized diagnostic instrument. A later retention check is separate; the public sample does not calculate a learner score.
Year-round learning with room to live
Families choose the dates. A sequence of five learning units is not a Monday–Friday requirement. Reading together, experiments, projects and properly documented movement learning can happen away from a screen; idle browser time and rest stay separate.
300 learning days
840 ÷ 300 = 2 hours 48 minutes of actual instruction per chosen day.
360 learning days
840 ÷ 360 = 2 hours 20 minutes per chosen day.
48 active weeks
840 ÷ 48 = 17½ hours per week, divided among the days your family chooses.
These are planning examples, not required Academy seat-time. The 840-hour figure corresponds to California’s 50,400-minute public-school grades 1–3 benchmark; it is not a universal private-homeschool quota. The applicable school arrangement determines requirements and who may accept attendance or credit. A four-hour sample window includes breaks and does not automatically earn four instructional hours.

Parents learn alongside the learner
The intended protected application pairs a learner alias with one active learner device, gives the adult separate explanations and instructor permissions, and keeps response evidence distinct from reported study time. The parent may explain, request another example or approve the next release. Copied answers, a checkbox or elapsed hours are not automatic proficiency.
Public pages do not create those accounts or save records. Until the independent family pilot opens, use the sample with an adult and keep your work at home. No charge or recurring subscription is started here.
