Subjects are the learning tracks inside each child's profile. You manage them from the child's details page.
Finding a Child's Subjects
- Sign in as a parent and go to Children.
- Click View Details on your child's card.
- Scroll to the Subjects section.
Each subject card shows its progress and, when available, a Placed or Completed badge. Use the buttons on the card to open the subject:
- Curriculum opens the subject page, with progress, placement results, placement settings, and the topic list.
- Study Guide opens the subject's study guide.
- The trash icon deletes the subject (you can restore it later).
A subject that still needs a curriculum shows Setup required with a Configure Curriculum button.
Adding a Subject
- In the Subjects section, click Add Subject (or Add First Subject if your child has none yet).
- Choose how to create it:
- Choose a Curriculum Template: pick a pre-built curriculum. You can search and filter by age range and standard.
- Copy from Sibling: reuse a subject from another child in your family (shown when you have more than one child).
- Build Custom with AI: enter a Subject Name and Starting Difficulty (Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced), then set up the curriculum in the next step.
- Follow the prompts to finish setting up the subject.
Updating Subjects From a Grade Package
Grade packages suggest a set of subjects for a grade level.
- In the Subjects section, click Update from grade package (or Use grade package if your child has no subjects yet).
- Pick a grade package and review what will be added.
- Optionally, review Optional removals. Only unchanged stock subjects with no meaningful progress appear here, and nothing is removed unless you select it and confirm.
- Apply the changes.
Subjects removed this way are deleted the same way as the trash icon below (they can be restored). Aletheia may recommend placement checks for newly added subjects.
If you change your child's grade in their settings, Aletheia offers a link to review recommended subjects for the new grade.
Deleting a Subject
- On the subject card, click the trash icon (or Delete Subject on a subject that still needs setup).
- In the Delete subject? dialog, click Delete subject.
The subject is hidden from both your active view and your child's learning views. Its curriculum, progress, and placement results are kept, so you can restore it later.
Restoring a Deleted Subject
- In the Subjects section, click View deleted (this appears when at least one subject is deleted).
- Find the subject. Deleted subjects show a Deleted badge and the date they were deleted.
- Click Restore.
The subject returns to your child's active subjects with its earlier progress. Click View active to go back to the normal list.
Permanently Deleting a Subject
You can only permanently delete a subject that has already been deleted.
- Click View deleted.
- On the subject, click Delete Forever.
- In the Permanently delete subject? dialog, click Delete forever.
This permanently removes the subject and its data, including:
- The subject's topics and curriculum
- Topic progress and concept mastery
- Placement results
- Quizzes, flashcards, study guides, and session summaries for that subject
This can't be undone.
Note: Tutoring conversations from that subject aren't removed when you delete a subject. You can delete individual conversations from Conversations on your child's details page, and deleting the child's whole profile removes all of them. See Archiving Child Profiles.
Before You Delete Forever
- If you only want the subject out of the way, a regular delete is enough, and you can restore it anytime.
- Make sure your child isn't still using the subject.
- If you're unsure, leave it deleted (not permanently) and decide later.
For placement results and settings on the subject page, see Understanding Placement Results.
Your child can also ask for a new subject from their Home screen. Requests show up on your dashboard in the Subject Requests card. See Finding Your Way Around.
