Building Your Student’s Curriculum 3:34

Open your student’s curriculum, remove suggested subjects you don’t want, choose where they start in each subject, or let a quick starting point check place them for you.

Watch Part 2

Adding Skills and Custom Topics 3:19

Add life skills like Career Exploration, create a custom topic (we built a “How to Become a Marine Biologist” path), and set up a book study on The Count of Monte Cristo. Primer builds a full learning path for anything you add.
