Primary Grades (K–2)

Primary grades are the first building block of formal education. During these important formative years, children learn the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic, and they are introduced to their communities and basic science principles.

Our primary teams have decades of experience as early childhood classroom teachers, school administrators, and children’s book writers. We understand how young children think, and we provide fun and interactive content that supports and engages developing minds.

Elementary Grades (3–5)

Elementary grades stretch the boundaries of what students already know. Students begin to form opinions about the world around them. They express preferences and discover their voice as they seek out learning opportunities.

Our elementary teams have written countless lessons, activities, and assessments to engage students and broaden their knowledge base. We create content that encourages students to initiate learning on their own, stimulating an active role in their own education.

Middle Grades (6–8)

Middle grades represent the transition from childhood to young adulthood. They characterize a shift toward independent thinking and the development of a distinct voice. Students explore individual interests and practice problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Our middle school teams have the knowledge and innovation to create content that supports what students already know while also encouraging them to discover more about themselves and the world at large.
