Grade 6
homeschool curriculum.

Sixth grade is the first year a kid is doing genuinely middle-school work. Ratios, percent, and the first taste of algebraic thinking. We treat them like middle schoolers — fewer cartoons, more thinking — without losing the encouraging tone that keeps them going.

What Grade 6 works on

The core skills your kid will build this year.

  • Ratios, rates, percent; intro to one-step algebra
  • Literary analysis: theme, point of view, figurative language
  • World history: Middle Ages through Renaissance
  • Physical science: matter, energy, simple machines
  • Research writing: citing sources, paraphrasing
The Cullinan approach

Grade-level tests get more useful here — launch one in math or reading from the parent dashboard and see exactly where your kid stands vs typical 6th-grade benchmarks. It's a real diagnostic, not a vibes-based check-in.
