The Curriculum

At HTA, we nurture inquisitive K-10 minds with the K12 approach that Big Ideas + Consecutive Down Payments + Practice = Mastery. Throughout our K-10 course offerings you will find certain recurring themes that build on the previous grades’ teaching and weave an ever-richer tapestry of knowledge. Our individualized approach means your child can go as fast or slow as he needs to. And with more than 700 lessons per subject, he can dive deeply into areas of interest.

The curriculum was created by a team of experts at K¹², using tried and true educational approaches for instruction. Our core courses—Language Arts/English, Math, Science, History, and Art—are combined into a rich full-time schooling option. The lesson plans for each subject are integrated, so your child may be reading literature from the same time period as the art or history lesson she is studying. What begins as a story about a king who lost his wife may end up with an examination of the architecture and history of the Taj Mahal, built as a monument to a dead queen.

Lessons come to life with a rich mixture of on- and offline teaching tools, including interactive animations, award-winning printed books with beautiful illustrations and compelling text, original CDs and videos, and materials for hands-on experiments. Lessons are followed by assessments so you can be sure that your child has mastered a particular area before moving on, and built-in planning and progress tools make it easy to stay on track.

For grades 9-10, HTA uses the K¹²9¹² high school curriculum. The K¹² High School Course Catalog is robust, offering more than 90 core, elective, and Advanced Placement® (AP®) courses. Math, Language Arts, Science, and History courses are offered in multiple versions to meet the needs of diverse learners with diverse goals. Up to four levels of World Languages are offered as well. Students can chart their own course, choosing from among the four levels of courses to match their aptitude and goals.
