We don't just sell Elective Genius — we run our own school on it.
Every middle– and high–school student at Rosedale Christian Academy is on the full catalog, with Meri tutoring every lesson — grades 6–12, all in.
The electives problem is real.
Homeschool families struggle to find rigorous, accreditable electives. Schools want to personalize but can't build custom courses for every student. The result? Students miss out on subjects that could shape their futures.
Homeschool Families
Cobbling together electives from random YouTube videos, outdated textbooks, and hope. No standards alignment. No transcript documentation.
Schools
One-size-fits-all elective slots that don't match student interests. Not enough teachers to offer niche subjects. Students disengage.
Students
Stuck choosing between electives that don't excite them, or missing credits entirely. No ownership over their learning path.

Earn high school credit
Each course meets Carnegie Unit requirements (60+ hours). Get a certificate of completion, unofficial transcript, and portfolio.
Learning that feels like a conversation.
Traditional online courses are just textbooks on a screen. Students read, get bored, close the tab. Elective Genius is different. Meri guides students through every lesson, asking questions, challenging thinking, and making sure they actually understand before moving on.
“I used to think saving and investing were the same. Meri showed me an emergency fund is for surprises, but investing is for growing money over years. I'm going to split my paycheck three ways now.”
Explained back in the student's own words — emergency fund vs. long-term investing.

Unprompted notes from heads of school after hearing Elective Genius on the Christian School Principals Podcast.
“I was completely blown away by what I heard. I thought you had been in my head and our admin meetings listening to what we needed. It would be an honor to consider what we could do with Elective Genius.”
“While we offer a handful of electives, I’ve felt this has been a HUGE gap we haven’t been able to fill. Elective Genius would be perfect for us — are there any spots for pilot schools still?”

“I've spent 25 years in education. For 15 of them I sold curriculum to schools and homeschool families, and for the past decade I've led the largest private Christian school in Maryland. The whole time, I saw the same problem: schools and families can't offer high-quality programs at scale because the cost is out of reach. Elective Genius is my answer: rigorous, AI-tutored electives any school or family can actually afford.”

Everything families and schools ask before they start.
Do Elective Genius courses count for real high school credit?
Yes. Each high-school course (grades 9–12) is worth 0.5 credit and meets Carnegie Unit requirements with 60+ hours of work, and every student earns a printable unofficial transcript and certificate of completion. Middle-school courses (grades 6–8) are exploratory — fully graded and standards-aligned, but not credit-bearing.
Is the curriculum standards-aligned and accredited?
Every course maps to recognized academic standards (Common Core, NGSS, and state frameworks) and comes with the documentation families and schools use to award and record credit. Elective Genius is a curriculum and AI-tutoring platform, not an accrediting agency — schools and homeschool families award the credit, and our transcripts and standards alignment give you the paper trail to back it up.
How does the AI tutor work?
Meri guides every lesson as a conversation — explaining concepts, asking questions, giving feedback, and adapting to each student's pace, with several interaction points per lesson. Students can't just scroll past; they have to engage. Every conversation auto-saves to a Learning Journal that parents and supervisors can review.
Do I need to teach the courses myself?
No. Meri handles instruction in every subject. Parents get a dashboard to see exactly what their student is learning, plus printable transcripts for their records — without teaching subjects outside their own expertise.
What does it cost?
A single course is $149 one-time (keep it forever). A six-course Career Pathway is $499. Family plans run $399–$599 per year for up to three students. Schools start at $99 per student per year with a supervisor dashboard and grading tools. Family plans include a 14-day free trial; one-time purchases come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can we try it before paying?
Yes. You can run a full 5-minute lesson with Meri for free — no signup, card, or email required. Just open Try Meri.
How do schools and co-ops use Elective Genius?
Schools give every student access to all 55 courses across 6 Career Pathways without hiring specialized teachers. A supervisor dashboard tracks every student in real time, with a weighted grade book, CSV export for your SIS, and pacing alerts when a student falls behind. Most schools are live in under a week.
What grades and subjects are covered?
Grades 6–12, across 55 courses in 6 Career Pathways — Healthcare, Business & Finance, Technology, Law & Society, Creative & Communication, and Life & Career Readiness. Middle schoolers explore a rotating menu of subjects; high schoolers earn real credit.
