Our 6th-grade curriculum focuses on the most important subjects and makes sure everything is clear, supportive, and easy to follow. Here’s a quick look at what we cover:

Homeschool Math

  • Number Systems
    Students explore positive and negative numbers, learn about absolute value, and gain confidence working with rational numbers in equations.

  • Fractions & Decimals
    We teach students to add, subtract, multiply, and divide both fractions and decimals, including using the Keep, Change, Flip rule for fraction division.

  • Ratios, Proportions & Percentages
    Your child will compare quantities using ratios, solve proportion problems, and convert between percentages, fractions, and decimals.

  • Geometry & Measurement
    Students find the perimeter, area of complex figures, and volume of 3D shapes like prisms, plus surface area using all faces of a figure.

  • Data & Coordinate Graphing
    We cover plotting points in all four quadrants, analyzing data sets, and calculating mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range using box-and-whisker plots.

Homeschool Reading

  • Reading Comprehension Skills
    Students practice with fiction and nonfiction passages, answering multiple-choice and short answer questions to build strong comprehension.

  • Nonfiction & Text Features
    We teach how to identify glossaries, maps, indexes, captions, and other features that help students navigate and understand nonfiction.

  • Literary Elements & Author’s Tools
    Students explore plot, setting, tone, mood, point of view, and figurative language like metaphors and idioms to understand how stories are crafted.

  • Genres & Text Structures
    Your child will learn to identify and analyze a wide range of genres, from fantasy and biography to poetry and drama, with a focus on structure and style.

  • Close Reading & Compare/Contrast
    We introduce close reading techniques and help students compare themes, characters, and structures across different texts.

Homeschool Writing

  • Essay Writing Structure
    Students master the five-paragraph format introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion for opinion, informative, and persuasive writing.

  • Fiction & Personal Narratives
    We help students create their own fictional stories with character development and plot, as well as reflect on real-life experiences in personal writing.

  • Quote Analysis
    Students practice writing essays that explain and explore the meaning behind thought-provoking quotes, combining reading and writing skills.

  • Vocabulary Development
    With 100+ new grade-level words across 11 units, students enhance their writing and reading comprehension through targeted vocabulary lessons.

  • Grammar & Transitions
    We guide students in using grammar correctly and applying transitional words and phrases to connect ideas smoothly throughout their writing.
