First-month plans, ready to apply

9 structured programs for grades 4–12. Each covers 5 days a week across math, reading/writing, and science or history. One click applies the quests to your child's dashboard. Start with the first month of school, then keep going.

5 Days × 3 Subjects

Each template includes 15 daily quests per week — Monday through Friday — covering math, language arts, and science or social studies. No planning required.

Khan Academy Powered

Every academic quest links directly to a verified Khan Academy topic, so your child can start learning immediately with guided video and practice — no extra subscriptions.

Points & Rewards Built In

Every quest has suggested point values. Kids earn points, level up, and redeem parent-defined rewards — screen time, outings, treats — keeping motivation high through the school year.

Reading Quest Program

Grade-Appropriate Reading Lists That Become Quests

40+ curated books organized by grade band from grades 3 through 12. Each book is a ready-made reading quest — one click assigns it to any child with a pre-written description, reading goal, and suggested point value.

5 Grade Bands

Books curated for Grades 3–4, 5–6, 7–8, 9–10, and 11–12. Every book is matched to its grade band for appropriate challenge level.

Quest Description Ready

Every book includes a kid-friendly quest description framed as a challenge — so your child reads with purpose, not just obligation.

Points Pre-Set
