"5th grade" is a birthday, not a skill level. Our adaptive placement finds your child's true working level in every subject — so they start exactly where they'll thrive: challenged, not drowning.

Pick the grade you think your child is in. Five quick questions — then see how the real placement goes deeper.
Gaps compound quietly.
A shaky 3rd-grade fraction foundation becomes a 7th-grade algebra wall. Placement finds the gap before it grows.
Repeating known material kills motivation.
Kids who already know it check out. Starting at the real level keeps the spark — especially for advanced learners.
One grade number hides the truth.
Almost every kid is uneven across subjects. Per-subject placement respects that instead of averaging it away.

Your child answers ~5 questions per subject per grade band. The test adapts up or down based on their answers.
Each subject gets placed independently — 6th-grade math and 4th-grade writing is a perfectly normal result.
Lessons start exactly at each placed level, and the mastery system verifies learning as they go.

A fixed quiz asks everyone the same questions. Cullinan's placement adapts: it walks up or down grade bands based on your child's actual answers, separately for each subject, until it finds their confident starting point. A child can be 6th grade in math and 4th in writing — and that's exactly what it detects.
Kindergarten through 12th grade, across math, reading, writing, science, social studies, and more.
Most kids finish in one sitting — roughly 20-40 minutes depending on how many subjects you include. It's designed to feel like a friendly chat, not a standardized test.
A per-subject placement with a confidence rating, and your child's curriculum starts at exactly that point. No repeating material they know; no gaps quietly skipped.
It's built to avoid that: no timer, no red X's, and questions adjust downward gently when something's too hard. Most kids don't realize it's a 'test' at all.
