01 / A question worth exploring
Stages are a starting point, not a placement test. A learner can use different stages in different subjects. For younger learners, read and explore together.
Available paths appear here when loaded.
No path matches those choices. Try another interest, stage or subject.
This is an original foundations collection across eight subjects and four readiness stages. It is not a standards-complete full-year curriculum, an accredited school, a validated placement test or a mastery certificate. Learning includes explaining, applying and revisiting an idea.

Readiness / The original planning roadmap
Use these stages as a guide, not a deadline. A learner can work at different stages in different subjects. Review what they already understand before choosing the next lesson.
| Stage | Math & literacy | Science, social studies & arts | Economics & media literacy |
|---|---|---|---|
| K–2 Discover | Number sense and early operations. Sound-letter connections, decoding, oral language and stories. | Observe, compare, draw and describe. Explore family, community, place and time. Make art and talk about it. | Needs, wants, choices and sharing. Trusted adults, privacy and kindness online. |
| 3–5 Connect | Multiplication, fractions and measurement. Fluent reading, vocabulary, paragraphs and evidence. | Investigate patterns. Read maps, compare sources and build explanations. Create with intention. | Saving and trade. Distinguish fact from opinion and ask who created a message. |
| 6–8 Investigate | Ratios through pre-algebra. Analyze texts, support claims and revise writing. | Model systems and evaluate evidence. Connect chronology, geography and civic institutions. Interpret and create art. | Scarcity, opportunity cost and trade. Read beyond one website and corroborate claims. |
| 9–12 Apply | Algebra, geometry, further algebra and statistics as appropriate. Synthesize, argue and research. | Deepen subject study and use evidence to explain complex questions. Develop historical arguments and sustained creative projects. | Incentives, markets and personal decisions. Examine bias, evidence quality and competing accounts. |
