Start Here: Find the Right Learning Path
Welcome to Ahava Home Learning Academy. Begin by choosing your learner’s current academic grade or a nearby grade to explore. The age shown is only a typical reference, not an age requirement. Each grade page explains what to study in Mathematics, Reading and Writing, Science, History, and Scripture, then links to the actual copyable courses and existing printable PDFs.
For advanced children of any age: Do not assign a lower level simply because a child is young. Check reading and math separately, demonstrate mastery with unfamiliar problems, then use a higher-grade or Advanced Scholars route in the subject where the child is ready.
Step 1. Choose a Grade
- Kindergarten (typical age 5–6) | Open the grade-specific starting guide, subjects and course links
- Grade 1 (typical age 6–7) | Open the grade-specific starting guide, subjects and course links
- Grade 2 (typical age 7–8) | Open the grade-specific starting guide, subjects and course links
- Grade 3 (typical age 8–9) | Open the grade-specific starting guide, subjects and course links
- Grade 4 (typical age 9–10) | Open the grade-specific starting guide, subjects and course links
- Grade 5 (typical age 10–11) | Open the grade-specific starting guide, subjects and course links
- Grade 6 (typical age 11–12) | Open the grade-specific starting guide, subjects and course links
- Grade 7 (typical age 12–13) | Open the grade-specific starting guide, subjects and course links
- Grade 8 (typical age 13–14) | Open the grade-specific starting guide, subjects and course links
Step 2. Select the Child’s Subject and Level
- Reading and English Language Arts: The child may work at a different level from Mathematics. Foundations Phonics and ELA Volume 1 are available; advanced learners can work forward by mastery.
- Mathematics: Begin with the relevant prerequisites in Volume 1 and continue through Volume 2 and Volume 3 as skills develop.
- Science and History: Open subject courses from the Course Library. Use sources, safe activities and honest evidence-based explanations.
- Scripture: Read in context and study the original student Scripture course.
Step 3. Check Readiness and Offer Advanced Work
Use the Parent Placement & Skills Check. It is an informal starting tool, not a formal grade-level diagnostic. For an advanced child, open Advanced Scholars at any age, then choose Early, Developing or Extended Advanced assignments by proficiency. For mathematical algebra readiness, open the Advanced Mathematics Unit.
Step 4. Open the Actual Work or Download It
Copyable lessons: Every grade guide points to real courses where student text can be selected and copied. Printable work: Open the Course Download Library for student PDFs, guides and answer keys, marked separately. Not every course volume includes grade-specific worksheets, and some grade-specific instructions require parents to choose an appropriate exercise inside a mixed-level course. Integrated Weeks 1–10 Workbooks remain available.

- 36-Week Curriculum Scope and Sequence, a plan for further instruction rather than 36 finished weeks
- Alabama Academic Standards Coverage Record, currently partial and not certified
- Student PDFs and Parent-Only Answer Guides
Important for Families
Ahava Home Learning Academy provides homeschool learning resources. The grade guides help organize existing mixed-level courses; they do not represent completed independent grade-specific curricula or a guarantee of passing Alabama assessments. Parents should verify requirements for their own state and lawful homeschool arrangement. Keep children’s assessment records private, and select advanced work when readiness is demonstrated.
