What Grade 8 works on

The core skills your kid will build this year.

  • Algebra I: linear equations, systems, exponents, quadratics
  • US history: Civil War → modern era
  • Literary analysis: novels, drama, structured 5-paragraph essays
  • Earth + space science: plate tectonics, astronomy
  • Speech, debate, basic logic + fallacies
The Cullinan approach

By 8th grade, the parent dashboard becomes a transcript-builder. Unit tests + grade-level checks give you actual numeric scores per subject across the year — useful when applying to high schools, dual-enrollment programs, or college-prep tracks.
