Just be aware that you might want to spend a week in the online orientation boot camp to get comfortable with the tools and structure of this curriculum, including our recommendations for annotations and how to use the philosophy toolkit.Įvery year comes with a master guide that walks you through weekly lessons. That said, chronology isn’t that important: You can jump right to year three if you’re passionate about anime or to year four if you can never get enough of the ancient Romans. All the subjects in this curriculum intersect and complement each other to form a meaningful whole. Language grows organically with our understanding of the world. Writing isn’t something you do only in writing class. History, literature, philosophy, and science don’t happen in a vacuum. (Finding the answers is less important than asking good questions, which is why our curriculum is named after the computer in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that can answer the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, but can’t quite figure out the question behind the answer.)īecause subjects overlap in meaningful ways, this curriculum is not available in individual units. This is a genuinely challenging program - you will probably work harder than you ever have! - but you will be rewarded with an education that well prepares you to ask the big questions. With those skills, they can learn anything they need to and tackle any task they’re faced with in the future, including college and career. This rigorous high school curriculum is built around the idea that, ultimately, students need to learn how to think, read, and write critically. ![]()
