What Parents Are Actually Asking
This question is usually about instructional philosophy, academic rigor, and long-term fit. Whether a program aligns to a specific framework is less important than whether it produces strong evidence of mastery for your child.
Decision Criteria That Matter More
- Can your learner sustain weekly momentum?
- Is the curriculum adaptive or fixed-track?
- How much parent teaching overhead is required?
- How easy is transcript documentation?
