Two curriculum programs they recommend"

CLASS HOMESCHOOLS: Christian k-12 home education since 1967.

Tailored Curriculum: Don't settle for a one-size-fits-all curriculum

CLASS evaluates

results of achievement testing
transcripts and cumulative records
previous grade level courses and scores
parent comments and requests
CLASS then assigns

all necessary subjects appropriate to the student's level
lower or higher grade level
materials if more appropriate for the child materials to correct gaps in the student's educational experience
alternate courses, if requested by you
CLASS selects a best fit curriculum

When it comes to education, one size does not fit all. The uniqueness of each child must be considered when assembling a curriculum. Beginning at second grade, CLASS relies in part on achievement testing to ensure that appropriate materials are assigned to each student. For high school, CLASS also evaluates transcripts and cumulative records. When available, CLASS reviews previous grade level courses and scores. With CLASS you won't get a one-size-fits-all curriculum-you get the curriculum that best fits your child.
