Grades 6–8 · New for 2026–27

Middle school electives your kid will actually want to do.

Two dozen exploratory courses — the subjects middle schoolers are curious about and most schools can't staff — each guided by Meri, a personal AI tutor tuned for grades 6–8. Students explore careers, money, AI, coding, public speaking, science, the arts, and more. Low-stakes for kids; fully graded and standards-aligned behind the scenes.

A real menu — students choose

Five core strands (the ones states are starting to require — career, money, AI) plus nineteen interest-driven electives. Assign the core, let your students pick the rest — just like high school.

The core five

Choose your own

Built to last all of middle school

Two dozen distinct courses — short electives plus five deeper core strands — enough for your student to explore something new every year, then step up to high school. Think of it as the exploratory wheel schools already run: rotate through, discover what fits.

Year 1
Explore widely

Students start rotating through the menu of two dozen — a few courses a year, across very different subjects. Real variety, no repeats.

Years 2–3
Follow what clicks

Interests sharpen, so students pick the courses that fit. A future founder stacks Kid Boss, Career Explorers, and Money Basics; a storyteller leans into Story Lab — always a new one to choose.

8th grade
The high-school bridge

Ready students step into real high-school electives for transcript credit — a head start before 9th grade.

Schools & co-ops

Give every middle schooler a menu of electives without hiring — assign the core, let students choose the rest, and watch progress on a real-time supervisor dashboard. The mandates landing in career, finance, and AI give you budget cover; we give you the program.
