FAQ:

Q: Does Beast Academy follow the Common Core standards?

A: Beast Academy is loosely based on the Common Core standards. It covers the key topics for grades 1 through 5 in greater depth and with more opportunities for problem solving and logical thinking than other programs. Beast Academy levels 4 and 5 also cover many middle-grades standards and can be a good fit for early middle school students.

See our Standards charts for the topics covered by Beast Academy.

Q: How do I know which level my student is ready for?

A: Click here for placement tests, along with level recommendations by age.

Q: How often should my student use Beast Academy?

A: Aim to spend 12–15 days teaching a chapter of Beast Academy in order to finish one level in a standard school year. Beast Academy Online recommends assigning work by time and not by lesson—while most lessons take between 5 and 20 minutes to complete, some may take an hour or more. You are not required to complete every single lesson in Beast Academy Online.

For students who use Beast Academy as their primary curriculum, at least 3 hours of practice per week is recommended.
