Education

Their own pace. A recognised standard.

Children learn in blocks, subject by subject, at their own pace. Every block is mapped to the curricula schools use, so you're never off the map.

Progress by subject

One child. Six subjects. Six different heights.Each block is one thing learned. The dashed band is where a year group would put them.

Example
  • Stacked learned and remembered
  • Settling waiting for a review
  • Learning now
  • Year group where school would put them

One block

One block. One thing to learn.

  • Every block has three sessions: the core idea, the tricky cases, then putting it to use.
  • A session takes about an hour.
  • It starts with a quick recap and explains before it asks.
  • It ends with a three-question exit ticket.
  • A wrong answer gets an explanation and a hint. Not just a red cross.

Mastery

Done means remembered.

A block only counts once it's still known weeks later.

  1. Not started

    Waiting its turn.

  2. Learning

    In this sprint.

  3. Settling

    Check passed. Will it stick?

  4. Done

    Stacked

    Passed a review weeks later.

  1. Day 0Check passed
  2. 2 wksReview
  3. 4 wksReview
  4. 8 wksReview
  5. 16 wksReview

Miss a review, and the block steps back to settling until it's passed again. Nobody is told off.

Own pace

Own pace. Not a race.

  • 3

    sessions a dayper subject, at most.

  • 2

    from one blockper day, at most. Spacing it out helps it stick.

  • 0

  • 0

    daily streaksStreaks count sprints finished, not days.

Curriculum

Mapped to the standards you know.

  • England's national curriculum is the spine. Year numbers are England's.
  • We check each block against US standards and the IB too.
  • Where they differ, we say so, in writing.
  • So you're never left guessing where your child stands.

Where the curricula differ, we say so

  • English · Year 4England names "fronted adverbials" in Year 4. US Common Core never uses the term, and asks for a comma after an opening phrase in Grade 5.
  • Science · Year 4England teaches digestion and teeth in Year 4. US standards leave body systems to middle school.
  • Maths · Year 8IB MYP splits into standard and extended maths here. England's GCSE Higher content sits closest to extended.
  • Maths · later yearsThe maths stack runs to GCSE or IGCSE, then A level or the IB Diploma.

Changes ahead. England's new national curriculum is due from September 2028, and the IB's new Diploma maths course is first taught in August 2027. We'll check our maps against both when they're published.
