Foundations for Success

The guarantee

COPY SLOT — the promise, in one line.

COPY SLOT — what it is, what a family has to do to hold us to it, and what happens if we don’t deliver. The map above is the “what they have to do” half; this paragraph is the rest.

What we write

COPY SLOT — the courses that come with a subscription, and what “finished” means for each one.

What you source

COPY SLOT — the standard math and science sequence stays yours to choose. Why we don’t write it, and what counts.

What counts as done

COPY SLOT — the record the guarantee reads from: logged hours, completed lessons, the transcript.
