Frequently Asked Questions

Accreditation is a form of credentialing that applies to schools. Accreditation addresses issues such as teacher/student ratios, number of computers in the media center, number of teachers holding advanced degrees, the curriculum used, etc. Because Time4Learning is a curriculum and not a school, accreditation does not apply. However, the curriculum offered by Time4Learning is used at many accredited schools across the United States, and it is educationally rigorous. Read our post to understand more about how accreditation works for homeschoolers .

Time4Learning can help any child, including those with special needs. Every child has their own combination of gifts, skills, needs, and difficulties with learning, so each deserves a learning program suited to their needs. Here are some reasons why parents of both gifted students and children with special needs choose Time4Learning:

• Lessons build on existing reading, writing, and math skills.
• Learning levels, or grade levels, for each subject are independently set for each child, helping those who perform or progress at different levels.
• Time4Learning memberships include extra practice, such as free access to Time4MathFacts, to help students develop strong foundational math skills.
• Depending on the grade level and course, students have access to one grade above and one grade below their grade placement so they can review or move ahead whenever they need to.
• The program allows students to go at their own pace and even repeat lessons if need be.
• The lessons use exercises that stimulate students’ visual, auditory, and motor skills with multisensory activities that are animated and interactive.

In fact, for the reasons above, we have been approved by the IBCCES as a Certified Autism Resource .

Our comprehensive preschool curriculum gives students a solid foundation in all core areas through fun stories, characters, and interactive activities in math, language arts, science, and social studies.

The elementary (K-5th grade) curriculum consists of standards-based language arts and math, and social studies and science for most grade levels. Time4MathFacts , our elementary-level math learning game collection, is also included for free!

Our standards-aligned middle school curriculum covers math and language arts, as well as options to personalize science and social studies coursework. Middle school electives are also available for students in grades 6-8.

Time4Learning’s standards-aligned high school curriculum consists of the primary subjects of language arts, math, science, and social studies. To meet individual needs and academic requirements, we offer a variety of options for math, science, and social studies coursework, as well as 15 elective courses .

Parents are asked to select a grade level for their student(s) during the signup process. If you are not sure what grade to enroll your student, that’s okay. Simply choose the grade level that you think might be a good starting point based on your child’s age or academic background.

As the teacher of record in your homeschool program, you are free to make changes at any time. Since many children can be ahead (or behind) in one subject, while on grade level for others, most students are given access to three curriculum levels (depending on grade level). So a student who is enrolled in second-grade math and language arts will also have access to first and third-grade lessons. This allows them to review and advance whenever necessary. We recommend having your child complete a few activities in various grades to get a better idea of their strengths or challenges in each subject.

High school is organized by courses rather than grade levels. Therefore, students do not have access to grade levels. However, you can change or update your courses, e.g., change Algebra I to Algebra II, at any time if you find a course is too challenging or not challenging enough. If your student is college-bound, we recommend that you review your state’s course requirements for high school graduation so you can make the correct selections from Time4Learning’s offerings.

No matter what grade level or course selections you choose for your students, parents are always able to make changes. You can change the grade level or course selections at any time through the Dashboard .

• Android Devices are not supported for K-8. Users may encounter random issues including activities not marking as complete.
