Can I edit or customize the course after it's been generated?
Yes. You can edit lesson pacing, schedule, and course settings after generation. If a lesson isn't working the way you'd like, you can regenerate individual lessons without touching the rest. You can also move lessons around, lock specific dates, and add breaks whenever life happens. The schedule is always yours to adjust.
How does the AI know what my child's interests are?
You tell us when you create the course. The creation form asks for your child's grade level, the subject, what they're interested in, and how they learn best. That information goes directly into the generation process and shapes every lesson from start to finish. Nothing is inferred. You tell us, and the AI builds around it. The more specific you are, the better the course.
What if the generated course doesn't quite match what I needed?
You can regenerate the entire course or individual lessons at any time. The AI designer tool also lets you describe in plain English exactly what you want, and it translates that into the right course settings before generating. If a specific lesson feels off, regenerate just that one without touching anything else.
Can I build a course on something that isn't a traditional school subject?
Absolutely, and this is one of the things parents love most. You can build a full curriculum on video game history, marine biology, robotics, filmmaking, cooking science, astronomy, or anything else your child is genuinely obsessed with. If they care about it, we'll build a rigorous, structured course around it. No subject is off-limits. For traditional academic subjects, every course is built against our
K-12 curriculum framework, aligned to national academic standards.
How long does it take my child to complete a course?
You set the pace. You choose how many lessons per week during course creation, and the platform calculates the total timeline from there. A 20-lesson course at 3 lessons per week takes about 7 weeks. A 40-lesson course at 5 per week takes 8 weeks. Short 2-week units or full-year courses, the scope is entirely yours to decide.
Can I use this alongside our existing curriculum or co-op?
Yes, and many families do exactly that. Some use AI Home Academy for core subjects and keep co-op classes for electives. Others use it to supplement a specific subject where their child needs more depth or a different approach. You can have multiple courses active at once and progress through each on its own independent schedule.
Do I need to be involved in each lesson, or is it self-guided?
Courses are designed to be self-guided. Your child reads the lesson, completes the assignment or quiz, and can ask the AI teacher for help at any point without needing you in the room. You get a parent dashboard that shows progress and completion at a glance, so you stay informed without sitting in on every session.
What does "real-world activities" mean in a course?
Real-world activities are hands-on assignments that happen off the screen: drawing a diagram by hand, taking a photograph related to the lesson topic, creating a poster, building a simple craft, or writing something by hand. They're generated to reinforce specific lesson concepts and bring learning into the physical world. You can enable or disable them entirely during course creation.
