The seven books

Many disciplines.
A connected education.

Each primary subject has one growing teaching book, a workbook, and an answer and assessment guide. Subtopics develop within that subject’s learning sequence.

Science

The Alchemist's Compendium

Observation becomes investigation. The proposed sequence connects living systems, matter, energy, Earth, space, and engineering through evidence and carefully stated explanations.

History

The Scribe's Scroll

Before and after become chronology, context, and historical inquiry. Accounts are examined through dated evidence, the people who created it, and the limits of what survives.

Truth · Virtue · Knowledge

Careful thinking.
Purposeful practice.

Evidence before conclusions

Lessons distinguish observations, documented facts, interpretations, and unanswered questions. Sources and limits remain visible.

Character through action

Honesty, responsibility, respect, service, perseverance, and agency are the Academy’s stated values. Learners practice them through their work.

Progress through understanding

Worked examples lead into practice and checks for understanding. Feedback and fresh attempts help guide the next step.
