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 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.
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 underway, beginning with Biology — 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.
