Does 9th grade work count toward a transcript?

Your gradebook records do. Auto-graded scores and parent-entered grades roll into per-subject averages you can use to build your student's high school transcript.

What if Algebra I gets rocky?

The lesson-connected AI tutor is strongest here — it re-teaches the exact concept in the lesson, works problems one step at a time, and generates extra practice until it clicks.

Is this a complete homeschool curriculum?

Yes. The 9th Grade level includes online lessons, auto-graded quizzes and assignments, printable workbooks where available, and a parent-managed gradebook — everything you need for a full year of learning. Many families also mix it with their own materials.

How is the curriculum priced?

You can choose monthly access per student or a one-time purchase per student, per grade level. Both include every subject at that grade — lessons, quizzes, printable workbooks where available, the gradebook, and the AI tutor.

Is curriculum the same as cover school enrollment?

No — they are two separate services. Purchasing curriculum does not enroll your child with AL Cover School, and enrolling does not include curriculum. Alabama families can use one, the other, or both.

Do I need to be enrolled with AL Cover School to use it?

No. The curriculum works for any homeschool family — whether you're enrolled with AL Cover School, another cover school, or homeschooling independently in any state.

How do placement tests work?

From your Parent Portal you can run a free, optional placement test. It pulls real questions from the curriculum, adapts up or down based on your child's answers, and recommends the best starting grade level per subject. Results are a recommendation only.

Can I cancel monthly access?

Yes, anytime. Your student keeps access through the end of the billing period, gradebook records are kept, and you can resubscribe whenever you like.
