OpenBook Homeschooling  —  Open the Book. Open Their Future.
The OpenBook K–12 Roadmap

One grade at a time. One future at a time.

OpenBook Homeschooling is being built as a complete learning journey from Kindergarten through Grade 12. We are beginning at the foundation and growing upward—carefully, deliberately and one grade at a time.

🌱 Early Learning Kindergarten

🧭 Middle School Grades 6–8
🎓 High School Grades 9–12
Grade Levels

The OpenBook learning journey.

Our goal is a connected K–12 curriculum in which each grade builds upon the knowledge and skills developed in the grade before it. Kindergarten is the first curriculum being developed.

First OpenBook Grade
K

Kindergarten

Early reading, foundational mathematics, scientific discovery and an introduction to families, communities and the world.

Fifth Grade

Preparing students for increasingly independent learning and the transition into middle-school-level studies.

Planned
6

Sixth Grade

Advancing academic reading, writing, mathematics and subject-specific investigation.

Planned
7

Seventh Grade

Strengthening analysis, problem solving, research and increasingly complex academic skills.

Planned
8

Eighth Grade

Building the academic foundation and independent study habits students will need as they enter high school.

Planned
9

Ninth Grade

Beginning high-school-level coursework with greater depth, responsibility and subject specialization.

Planned
10

Tenth Grade

Expanding analytical thinking, communication, mathematics, science and broader academic knowledge.

Planned
11

Eleventh Grade

Advanced coursework designed to support strong reasoning, independent study and preparation for life after high school.

Planned
12

Twelfth Grade

The final stage of the OpenBook K–12 roadmap, focused on completing high-school learning and preparing for what comes next.

Growing With The Student

Learning changes as children grow.

A Kindergarten student and a high school student should not experience school in the same way. OpenBook's long-term design allows the style, depth and independence of learning to grow along with the student.

🌱
Kindergarten

Early Learning

Short, welcoming lessons introduce foundational academic skills while encouraging curiosity, confidence and a positive relationship with learning.

📚
Grades 1–5

Elementary School

Students build strong literacy, mathematics and general knowledge while gradually developing independence and stronger study habits.

🧭
Grades 6–8

Middle School

Subjects become deeper and more specialized as students strengthen reasoning, research, writing and independent problem-solving skills.

🎓
Grades 9–12

High School

Coursework becomes increasingly rigorous while helping students prepare for their individual goals after completing their secondary education.

★ Where OpenBook Begins

Kindergarten

Before we build twelve more grades, we begin by getting the foundation right.

OpenBook Kindergarten is being designed as a complete starting point for young learners, bringing four core learning areas into one organized homeschool experience.

  • Language Arts and early reading
  • Foundational mathematics
  • Science and discovery
  • Social Studies and community
  • Lessons, activities and practice
  • Progress and assessment tools

Building OpenBook

Why develop one grade at a time?

A K–12 curriculum is enormous. OpenBook's approach is to build a strong foundation first and then expand deliberately rather than filling the site with unfinished material.

As each new grade is developed, its curriculum can build naturally upon the knowledge and skills students learned previously.

1
Build the Grade Establish subjects, learning goals, units and lesson progression.
2
Develop the Lessons Create instruction, activities, assignments, practice and assessments.
3
Review the Learning Path Make sure skills progress logically and important concepts are covered.
4
Move to the Next Grade Use the previous grade as the foundation for the next stage of learning.
🚧

OpenBook Is Growing

OpenBook Homeschooling is being developed progressively. Kindergarten is the first grade in the OpenBook roadmap. Grades marked "Planned" represent our intended direction and should not be interpreted as currently available curriculum. Availability will be updated as each grade is completed and released.

Every education has a first chapter.

For OpenBook, that chapter is Kindergarten. See how we're beginning the journey toward a complete K–12 homeschool learning experience.
