Writing & Composition
for homeschool families.

Writing is the bottleneck for college, work, and citizenship. We teach it like the skill it is — explicit instruction, scaffolded practice, real feedback on every piece.

What it covers

From kindergarten through senior year.

  • K-2: letter formation, sight words, simple sentences
  • 3-5: paragraph structure, topic sentences, paragraph essays
  • 6-8: multi-paragraph essays, research, citing sources
  • 9-12: analytical + persuasive + research writing with rubrics
The Cullinan approach

Every writing assignment from grade 3 up is rubric-graded by the AI tutor. The rubric is specific to the prompt ('mentions photosynthesis,' 'explains why leaves are green'), not generic. You (the parent) can override any score with one click — and your overrides train the system over time.

Why it matters

Most homeschool curricula offload writing onto the parent because grading writing is hard. Cullinan grades writing automatically against an explicit rubric, then lets you spot-check and override — so writing actually gets practiced.
