The curriculum pillar
Curriculum & Subjects, Without the Overwhelm
Curriculum is one of those decisions that feels final but isn't. The choice that paralyses parents in August almost never matters by November — what matters is whether the teaching cycle actually fits the child.
This pillar collects subject-specific guides and the meta-level question of how to think about curriculum at all: when to commit to a program, when to mix, and how to keep the actual learning ahead of the brand on the cover.
- Pick curriculum with confidence, not anxiety
- Cover every subject without burning evenings on prep
- Mix programs without losing coherence
