The Curriculum Order

HomeSchool Advantage provides curriculum in a specific order. We encourage parents to assign multiple courses in the same subject at a time, however, we present facts to your students from only one course at a time (for each subject). We start presenting facts first from the lowest numbered course, and when that course has no additional facts to present, we progress to the next higher numbered course.

You do not have to do the curriculum in the order we recommend, and you do not have to do all of the courses in a subject. You may skip any course you are not interested in studying - just do not check that course on the assignments page.

If you want your first course to be a 500 level course, simply select that course and do not select anything with a lower number.

The parent can always go back and select lower courses on another day. However, this should only be done after the higher level course is complete. You are free to skip any course you are not interested in studying.

  1. we are in the trial period and my son is 7...i started him with 100 courses in a subject and he is sailing through the stuff he already knows...we can't find a way to do more in one subject in one day...will the system let us do that so we can catch him up to where he belongs more quickly?

  2. Hi Sally,

    We have a new feature coming out this month that will really help somebody sail through a subject. They will be able to say how well they think they know each new fact! At the moment, you can add more facts at the end of the day that will allow you to get more facts in in a day. But that is not a good enough answer, that is why we are adding the other feature this month!
