6th Grade Homeschool Curriculum

6th Grade (ages 11–12) · 65 structured lessons across 5 subjects, plus adaptive daily practice

Sixth grade opens the middle-school world: ratios, rates, negative numbers, and the first true algebra — expressions and equations with variables. Reading turns analytical, examining author's craft and weighing evidence. And science changes shape: your child spends the whole year going deep on Earth science, from plate tectonics to climate.

In development — not live yet

Writing: a structured K-8 writing program is designed and in an early pilot, but it is not yet part of the daily curriculum. The subjects above are what your child gets today.

Beyond the lessons listed here, every child also gets adaptive daily practice across individually tracked skills with spaced-repetition review, placement testing, and mastery-based progression — so your 6th Grade child works at their actual level, not just their grade label.
