8th Grade (ages 13–14) · 68 structured lessons across 5 subjects, plus adaptive daily practice
Eighth grade is the bridge to high school: linear functions, systems of equations, exponents, and the Pythagorean theorem — the complete on-ramp to Algebra I. Readers finish the K-8 sequence with full literary and rhetorical analysis. Science goes deep on physical science: forces, energy, chemistry, and waves.
21 structured teaching lessons across 4 units, following Common Core standards. Each lesson teaches the concept first, then the adaptive engine builds fluency with daily practice and spaced review.

18 interactive lessons following the NGSS framework — a full deep-dive year of Physical Science. Every lesson is a story-driven investigation with case files and built-in re-teaching.
18 story-driven lessons in G8 — Civics & Government — How communities govern themselves — rules, rights, representation, and the founding ideas behind American government. Part of our K-8 chronological sequence, taught as a weekly subject: one lesson a week fills the year, and nothing is locked.
Writing:a structured K–8 writing strand (32 assignments across four bands) is live and appears as a weekly Today's Plan extra — not part of the daily math/reading 100% checklist.
Students who finish the 8th grade sequence early can continue straight into our high-school math: a full Algebra I course (22 lessons) and a full Geometry course (39 lessons) are live today, with Algebra II underway (3 lessons so far). A college-prep high-school science track in a deep-reading lecture format is also live — all six courses (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Anatomy, Ecology, and Environmental Science; 171 units total). Honest about what it is: rigorous self-paced reading courses, not AP and not lab credit.
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 8th Grade child works at their actual level, not just their grade label.
