Aletheia uses your child's grade level and a short personalization questionnaire to recommend a good starting point. You stay in control, but the setup process gives each child a cleaner launch.
What Grade Packages Are
A grade package is a recommended group of subjects and starting curriculum for a grade band. It helps Aletheia suggest age-appropriate work instead of dropping every child into the same generic path.
Grade packages can include:
- Recommended core subjects for the selected grade.
- Starting topic sequences for those subjects.
- Difficulty and language expectations for the tutor.
- Optional areas parents may add later.
Why Grade Level Matters
During child setup, you can enter both age range and grade level. Age helps tune tone and reading level. Grade level helps tune curriculum recommendations and subject starting points.
For example, two children may both be in the 11-14 age range, but a 6th grader and an 8th grader usually need different pacing and topics.
Personalization Questionnaire
Parents may be asked a few setup questions about the child, such as:
- Preferred learning style.
- Confidence level in school subjects.
- Interests that can make examples more engaging.
- Areas where the child may need extra support.
These answers help the tutor make explanations feel more relevant. They do not lock the child into a fixed track.
Grade Packages vs. Placement Checks
Grade packages and placement checks do different jobs:
- Grade packages choose a reasonable starting curriculum based on grade-level expectations.
- Placement checks test what the child already knows inside a specific subject.
If a placement check shows your child is ahead or behind the grade package, Aletheia can adjust the subject starting point.
Required and Optional Subjects
Some subjects may be recommended as core for the grade. Other subjects can be optional add-ons depending on your family's goals.
You can add, remove, restore, or adjust subjects later from the parent dashboard. If something looks off, treat the package as a starting recommendation, not a permanent decision.
Changing Grade Level Later
If your child's grade level changes or the original setup was wrong, update the child profile from the parent dashboard. After changing grade level, review subject recommendations and placements so the learning path still makes sense.
